The Signal Leak Mess Is More Of A Ladnacs Than A Scandal
The Atlantic hit piece and Signal leak represents a new form of scandal. You might call it an anti-scandal. A ladnacs.
A ladnacs is when something is pointed at in order to embarrass someone, but embarrasses the pointer instead.
Leaking a conversation that shows that senior Trump administration figures are bright, switched on, have a good grasp of geopolitics and discuss options for military action in a far smarter way than anyone else does is not really a winning scandal for Goldberg and his Globalist masters.
The have triumphantly whipped back a curtain, in order to expose….oh, these are adult statesmen having a sensible conversation.
Shit.
Imagine trying to embarrass the vicar by exposing that he’s read the Bible and doesn’t touch the choirboys.
What they get from their ladnacs is confirmation that the Trump administration rather sensibly wants to keep shipping lanes open, rather accurately sees the European combination of weakness and arrogance, of dependence on America and contempt for America, pretty clearly, and rather refreshingly has several people able to balance being strong enoigh to take military action and wise enough to always want it to be limited and actually achieve something.
Even the security angle doesn’t work in the favour of the scandal criers. Because they have the ‘exposed’ people saying that they should limit the full details to a more secure discussion platform. AND that attack only brings to focus more sharply that THIS ‘exposure’ shows smart people sticking to their public pledges and genuinely looking at ways to deliver it, whilst prior exposures or destructions of evidence like Hillary’s emails and smashed up computers showed corruption that was so bad it had to be completely destroyed to prevent its release.
Other than laughing at someone for being a very skilled lover and a chess grandmaster at the same time, it’s hard to think of a ‘scandal’ that makes the targets look any better.
Maybe telling us that DOGE guys can decipher multiple dead languages from pieces of ash was a bit of an own goal too.
It’s so embarrassing to be exposed as smart, isn’t it?
While this one is literally ‘see, these guys are soooo useless, they really do want peace through strength and what you voted for. Hahahaha.’
There comes a point where one side is so delusional that they can’t even smear or attack their enemy very well, because they simply don’t understand that what the enemy wants, the voters want too. They think that showing this is an exposure, purely because it offends them.
A total and utter ladnacs.
