It all started this morning (Europe time) when Z telegram groups started circulating a doctored screenshot where the casualty numbers were crudely photoshopped.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

This is getting quite hot in all fairness, as a Politico defence reporter is about as good as we're going to get for this for a while.

On the one hand it's terrible that this stuff leaked, but on the other hand I guess we're pretty lucky it leaked in the stupidest way possible and apparently went unnoticed for over a month. The information is hopefully far less damaging now.

But "mukana" is with, not in. "I'm in" would be something like "olen sisällä". Should have consulted the natives :colbert:

(I guess in English if you ask "are you in" and the answer is "I'm in", then in Finnish that answer would be "olen mukana" which means I'm with [you; this; the thing]. So that way you kind of get I'm in -> olen mukana. But it doesn't work the other way around)

Talk about consulting the locals to get the language right, lol. Point taken, I was working against time to get the Finnish regulars with the news drop. Initially, I tried going *hakkeri-äänellä* as well, but you can't do umlauts in titles, and I did check around enough to know that "ae" substitution wouldn't work for Finnish, like it would for German.

The intended meaning "I'm in" was obvious from the first moment, and the fact that it was completely wrong in Finnish only made it funnier.

Incidentally colloquial "oon ines" would have worked by avoiding the ä and also be more credible, but it wouldn't have been understandable to anyone else even with automatic translation because it's an anglism (English in with the Finnish -essä suffix shortened to -es) and a tautology as well.

As a small PSA/reminder of how POW rules came to be, please don't post JPEGs of American classified stuff here because we have plenty of Americans reading where that's a job problem. Discussing reporting is fine, linking to reporting is also fine, e.g., the tweets that were linked (at least no one has complained to me about them yet), but just posting them for the sake of it would be discourteous.

Another leak has hit the discord server

(unlocked link)
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/07/...USAEDMgxwcBipuQ

"The latest documents were found on Twitter and other sites on Friday, a day after senior Biden administration officials said they were investigating a potential leak of classified Ukrainian war plans, include an assessment of Ukraine’s air defense capabilities. One slide, dated Feb. 23, is labeled “Secret/NoForn,” meaning it was not meant to be shared with foreign countries."

That's bad!

This should be the thread title.

In news-chat, this leak could actually be quite bad for Ukraine. It's less about the maps--Russia knows plenty drat well where the front is--because ISR is pretty good. But the logistics information--anti-aircraft missile expenditures, timelines for logistics, etc.--could be gold for Russian operational planners if it's accurate.

Each month it gets pushed back when they were actually posted they become less damaging. I mean yeah it's not great but logistics reports from January aren't going to be super accurate in April.

That was one of the bronze medal options, but the time to make this decision was competing with time to play Dredge, meaning that I could not organize a run-off.

Assuming Russia didn't have insider access for that level info already and depends on N-word Shaker Central Discord channel for leaks. Which is possible, but they have spent decades building networks within Ukrainian and western military and intelligence communities. But it's anyway not a good sign if Notch has access to your secret documents.

In weird news, the Wagner defector who escaped to Norway Andrei Medvedev has been arrested by Swedish police. According to his own words he went to Sweden to buy cheap cigarettes (Norway is way expensive) but missed the bus and tried to walk back. As an asylum seeker he is not allowed to leave Norway even though there are no passport checks between Nordic countries.
