Trump was not informed of a recent Ukrainian attack on Russia, The Hill’s sister network NewsNation confirmed Sunday.

According to NewsNation’s Tanya Noury, an administration official said the president was not given a heads-up about the drone attack that a Ukrainian security official alleged destroyed more than 40 planes well within Russian territory, according to The Associated Press.

      Thanks for the sanity check. I wouldn’t think Ukraine’s top brass would notify any world leaders of an impending attack, especially one that took so long to plan and with such high stakes. Give me one reason they would?!

      The story isn’t about the attack, it’s about how Trump thinks he’s entitled to all the information.

    Thankfully that means someone in the chain of command knows what the fuck they’re doing and rightfully kept this rotted nutsack away from actionable intel. When you know someone is compromised or a spy, you cut them out of the loop while feeding them Intel you want your enemy to have.

    I remember in Trump’s last presidency, Dutch security services hacked into a Russian hacking group that (IIRC) hacked amongst other things he DNC. They even had access to security cameras, and could follow everything being said and done. The info was shared to help the US government secretly defend itself but trump used it immediately for some political bullshit

    This directly caused the Dutch operation to be detected and they were kicked out

    The director of the Dutch intelligence agencies then, in an interview, mentioned that as of that moment they would no longer share everything with the US as it had become an unreliable partner.

    I’m pretty sure this decision is still in effect with this administration. Trump is the US 's worst enemy

    According to the latest reports, he still doesn’t know they happened because he regularly doesn’t attend his own security briefings. Not to worry though, he’ll be fully briefed this evening when Fox and Friends covers it tonight.

    If Trump expects to be informed of Ukrainian intentions, they should exploit his hubris - use him to spread disinformation and divert Russian attention away from true targets.

      Do that a couple times to the point the Russians don’t believe it, and then use the correct targets expecting the Russians to protect the other nearby targets like last times instead.

      Just put him in a truman show-style mental hospital, he’s gonna love it and never give it a second thought. Or…maybe that’s what the WH has become at this point…

        I heard they were thinking about turning the presidential daily brief into either cartoons or a fake news channel stream just to get him to pay attention… So yeah, Truman show Whitehouse sounds eerily plausible
