Victor Davis Hanson: key questions about the psychodrama of the signal

While we learn the complete melodrama of the so -called “Scandal” signal to invite Jeffrey Goldberg, leftist Atlantic editor, to spread Trump on a Safe conference list By involving Trump’s best security officials, many questions must ask and answer.

Even more important, who had the private number of Goldberg and has inserted it, apparently by mistake, in the eliminated list of participants in the discussions? Why some to the maximum of Trump officials or their staff would have ever had contact information from Goldberg, give his fairly public registration of: a) manufacture stories with Name EB sources) to suffer from a decade of chronic Serengement syndrome of Trump?

Questions for Goldberg: did he know the mechanisms that had pushed and continued his stealth presence in secure discussions? Why did the Goldberg citizen not simply became clean as soon as he realized that he had been mistakenly included in the key communications of the national security conference, to which he did not belong, and therefore should obviously be excluded immediately? Why did he hear stealthily for almost two weeks? The idea of ​​informing his guests of his own improper presence too old style?

Questions for posterity: Goldberg has advertised these discrete discussions have really influenced the mission otherwise of everything success to neutralize years of aggression of Houthis Placata and started to put an end to their true destruction of the international maritime trade of the Red Sea? How did this error classified with previous diplomatic and military cases, such as the speech of the Dean Acheson Secretary of State of January 1950 in fact, excluding South Korea from the umbrella of American defense, an omission that could have contributed to the North Korean invasion of South Korea of ​​South 1950? The certainty of Saddam Hussein that “we have no opinions on your Arab-Arabian conflicts, like your dispute with the Kuwait”, has been comparable to the ambassador to the Ambassador to the Iraq April

President Obama was captured by a hot microphone that said to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev who would have “greater flexibility” to face NATO missiles after his elections. (Screenshot/Obama YouTube page of the White House)

Was it comparable to the guarantee of “Hot Mic” of the Obama president of March 2012 to the then Russian president Dmitry Medvedev who would have “flexibility” on the defense of the missiles of American-eastern Europe after his last elections? Both have kept their promises: Obama shocked the plans of Eastern Europe sponsored by Americans for missile defense and Russia shocks shocking its pre-planified invasion of Ukraine until 2014.

He ranked with the former president of General Chiefs Mark Milley who secretly contact his Chinese communist counterpart, the Chinese general Li Zuocheng, to tell him that he would give a head to the army of liberation of the people if he had determined President Donald Trump would have triggered an existential war?

And only look who is weighing. There was Hillary Clinton, despite its illegal use of a private server to transmit the information of the State Department classified and its subsequent destruction of communication devices mentioned.

There was the serial fabolist Susan Rice, who in 2012 lied to the nation in the five shows on Sunday, absurdly supporting that terrorist attacks at the American consulate in Benghazi were “spontaneous” manifestations incited by anger for an anti-Muslim video. Ditto Rice’s fallacious SGT. Bowe Bergdahl “Honor” narrative and his lie on the removal of Syrian weapons of mass destruction.

And why would Leon Panetta weigh, when it was one of the alleged 51 intelligence authorities in 2020 who ridiculously claimed the Fben Fben Fben laptop had all the distinctive features of an effort to disinformation of Russian intelligence? That lie was designed to arm Joe Biden before the last debate of 2020 and may have influenced the elections.

In the end, this was a mistake, but also what the left loves to call a “moment teacher. All future conferences should be kept in person or participating must be triple controlled on a safe line. And perhaps, above all, all the citizens of Trump and their staff should not have enough to do with anything to be done with those who wake up every morning who want to destroy them, and every night they did not do enough that they would not have known that they would not have known that they would not have known they should have enough destruction.
