The Real Revelation in the Pentagon Leaks
Not unsurprisingly, what is being reported. The implications for Ukraine and Russia
From the earlier post:

The announcement of the (typically overblown) arrest of 21-year old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira for leaking classified documents is supporting evidence to our thesis (in this previous article). Documents are likely real. Likely not disinformation.
The Washington Post and New York Times did most of the heavy lifting for the Feds in finding the culprit. The only suspicious part is the participation of Bellingcat who we have discussed (& shown dishonest if not agents for the CIA and/or Ukraine) before, with this post:

I will delve more into this later, but for now assuming this is all as it appears to be, not only was my article quite on point but I want to explain why there is such shock about a 21 year old National Guardsman having “such access”. The documents like I explained in the earlier piece, are not that exceptional, and do not merit very high sensitivity or clearance. With the exception of the Air Defense docs (2 documents), they hardly illuminate anything further than anyone reasonably intelligent wishing to follow this conflict closely would know.
I and others posting online have shown, speculated and discussed many of the matters depicted broadly on the documents. The reason the documents seem so shocking is not because of the nature of their revelations in general, but because of the magnitude of the lying that goes on in the mainstream media, the Biden administration and its western allies today. You may note that I noticed and reported on this phenomena from the outset of the conflict.
To put it very succinctly; the mainstream media and the government have continuously told you that Ukraine is winning and Russia is losing (though very slowly apparently?)
(also of course the "fact" of course that Ukraine & her government are angelic & Russia & hers the very definition of evil)
The documents reveal that in fact Ukraine is in a very tough position, and is by many reasonable parameters losing, and not ready for any meaningful counteroffensive. Not only this, but there is no easy, clear nor agreed upon plan for the US & her allies to reverse this in the near future.
This is hardly sensitive high level "classified" information. Anyone following my posts would have known that for the last year. It is shocking to those following mainstream media, shocking to the mainstream media itself, and clear evidence of the Biden administration lying to the American people.
So it is not so surprising that a relatively junior member of the intel community, in the armed forces or any part of the US government, would be privy to information that is somewhat more realistic, hard-nosed, and accurate information than what CNN & MSNBC have been telling the public. If even such personnel were being told the same level of disinformation, the revelation would be infinitely more shocking and it would indicate that NATO & the West are no longer capable of coherent thought, let alone supporting a country in a war against a formidable opponent such as Russia.
So this is the crux of the matter, not so much what was revealed, which in general was not much (with some interesting exceptions of course, some discussed in my previous article), but rather the revelation to some (though not to many) that their governments are lying to them, and more importantly clear evidence for everyone that they are doing so knowingly and not (only) out of incompetence. Now we know that it's not that the US government, and especially the Democratic party, are wrong about many things about Ukraine and its conflict with Russia, but that in many important cases they are wrong intentionally - lying as it is better known.
This will not stop them of course from crucifying the lad (who I will gladly discuss further later on) beyond what is reasonable, and using the episode to attempt to crack down further on freedom of speech and freedom of information, specifically online. All while they keep printing dollars to the last working American, and fighting to the last brave Ukrainian.
