Morally, they are not fine. Legally, they probably are. Except for the kid that went and spread them further, he's probably pretty chopped and screwed but nearly as radblasted as OG is lmao

It's a bit concerning that the type of moron who would leak classified documents on his gaming discord server, a crime for which the jail time can run into decades, has been given access to these documents in the first place.

quote:

Thousands of military personnel and government employees around OG’s age, working entry-to-low-level positions, could plausibly have access to classified documents like the ones he allegedly shared, according to U.S. officials and experts who have seen the documents reported in the media. Despite what his young followers thought, OG would have had no special knowledge compared with his peers. He possessed no special power to predict events. Rather, he appears to have persuaded some highly impressionable teenagers that he’s a modern-day gamer meets Jason Bourne.

Yes but also not really. Knowing any kind of controlled information isn't just about having a clearance, it's also having a Need To Know. What this guy saw was just a very tiny slice of the bigger picture and was basically the bare minimum he needed to perform his job duties.
Like most likely he's in a position that could be filled by some 22 year old straight out of college.

Hell, what he posted might not have even been stuff he was actually responsible for and may have just came from like, basic workforce wide intelligence briefings that are more or less just FYI/FYSAs to serve as propaganda/a motivational presentation to convince everyone that what they're doing is actually important and time sensitive.

They are all getting their doors kicked down, gov is going to try to track down if more documents were released and if any of them have them. Assuming they were just part of the discord and didn't save any documents they are probably not going to prison but if anyone saved poo poo onto their computer...

Yeah. It doesn't seem very compartmentalized unless he was like a sys admin and had and had access to stuff that wasn't part of his specific role.

The air national guard units do operate actual combat capable aircraft squadrons that sometimes get deployed (iirc) so they are staffed up like normal air force I think

LOL the pilot misinterpreted what the radar operators told him and thought he had permission to fire. The only reason it didn't start World War 3 is because the loving missile malfunctioned and failed to launch properly. Jesus loving christ we got saved by the same russian corruption and incompetence that threatened us in the first place lmao

That truly is very Russian way for things to go. Dead similar to the case where northern lights over Alaska were picked by Soviet satellite as missile burns, and the guy who ran the control station independently had to decide that "blyat this, our satellites are imagining things".

This was kind of making my blood boil considering how careful we are at work if you have to look for even a minute at a single loving document requiring clearance, but at least reading that they are technically a theoretical combat group made it make a little more sense why they have more constant access to this kind of stuff. Well except for the part that someone who could not legally drink had top secret clearance (assuming this did not all happen since he turned 21 that is)

I've also called you out in the DnD thread but just to be clear to people who don't know this kinda stuff the UK would almost certainly not start WW3 over a spy plane being shot down, which is a thing that happens all the loving time, and would either use it as an excuse to send more poo poo or just use it to wallop Russia in the diplomatic sphere.

30 people is not even a factor in considering poo poo if you are discussing a Nato member and/or nuclear armed power entering war with another one.

If they kept doing it, maybe. But a one off is going to get descalated and ignored because no one wants to push the button because a spy plane got shot down.

Yes, but I'm willing to bet that in many of those cases they were already chomping at the bit to go and just needed a passable reason.

Do you think the UK is just raring to go send troops to fight Russia in Ukraine?

But it would be typical Russian behavior to just keep bending the rules, doing that stupid 'I'm not touching you', with a constant barrage of 'separate incidents', and moving the goalposts while bellowing "what are you gonna do, shoot back you coward?".

After all, there is a reason why every EU neighbor of Putin's Russia hated the regime even before the war.

Russia has already shot down an airliner full of civilians during this invasion. Sinking the Lusitania is only an issue when someone wants it to be an issue.
