Disclosing information so sensitive that it has not even been disclosed to the US's closest allies ?

// At the moment there is so much anti-Trump propaganda out there it is impossible to tell what is truth and what is fiction. //

yeah so you hilariously commented a day or so ago
"it is all lies and counter-lies"

[wiv trump doing the lying and Comey the coutner lying I suppose]

even the dems agree - one said a presidency shouldnt be when you routinely expect the spokesman to lie on daily basis
khandro: "Critics of Trump (and I am more of one than I used to be) should keep their eye on the ball, overall, the target is ISIS - the most evil death-dealing menace to civilization on the planet." - bang on but the left would rather play politics than address Islamic terror.
Just wait and see what he may say ( tweet) in the future, just hope its nothing too damaging.
TTT...this has nothing to do with left and right politics....its all about Trumps suitability to be President. Eddie had it right earlier...."a staggering level of incompetence"
" bang on but the left would rather play politics than address Islamic terror."

Sorry, but is it not playing politics to jab fingers at "der left hur hur" instead of facing up to how incompetent your favoured President is?

It does not help against ISIS to compromise information sources or be careless with them. That will only make allies less willing to share intelligence with the US, which helps nobody.
Granted this is still speculation -- only it's kind of not, because Trump basically admitted to revealing information of some form even after his White House Officials denied it. Nor is there any question, as Khandro says, about Trump's legal right to share information; as president he has ultimate control.

But in potentially revealing information that he was given in confidence, he's at best befriending Russia at the expense of creating distrust in allies. And it certainly deserves to be investigated. Exactly how many times does Trump need to show off his utter incapability of meeting the demands of office before his ardent supporters will concede that maybe, just maybe, it's worth taking seriously?
The fact that ISIS is a common enemy in spectacularly missing the point. Just because one of my enemies (and make no mistake Russia IS an enemy state) has a foe in common with me does not make it alright for me to treat intelligence in a cavalier fashion. The fact that the president can declassify anything he likes is also beside the point. Damage is damage. Trust is trust.
ichi;
(and make no mistake Russia IS an enemy state)

Along with many of the more intelligent leaders and politicians, I don't believe Russia IS an enemy, please enlighten me why we are wrong.

^ Jim has it 'on the button' here . How long will it be before Trump's supporters realise that he is simply too ignorant and incompetent to hold the position of President?
Yet again he has favored the Russians over the USA's traditional allies.
Israel only disclosed the information under the understanding it would NOT be shared with anyone , let alone Russia!
He is not only antagonising his own security services he is ensuring that other national security services will be reluctant to share information with the USA.
Khandro....Putin is giving active support to Assad the Butcher, assisting him in using chemical weapons. Russia also annexed the Crimea.
Do we actually know what it was that was shared ? Without that it all becomes speculation. It seems bad, but may not be.
mikey; //Putin is giving active support to Assad the Butcher, assisting him in using chemical weapons. Russia also annexed the Crimea. //

There is no evidence that even Assad recently used chemical weapons, let alone Putin. The UK too is assisting Assad in the fight against ISIS, and please, please, try to learn something about the history of the Crimea.
Khandro....you must be the only person left in the world that still thinks Assad is innocent of using chemical weapons !
I think it was facts pertaining to terrorism and airline safety, OG.

Ok, thanks: but insufficient detail really.
Well, to be fair, it's hard for Trump to leak security secrets in 140 characters, even if he does give it his best shot.
He could post on Wikileaks and supply a link.
One does get the sense of a dam about to burst.
Who was the last president to fire the head of the FBI?
And what happened to him?

:-)
" I don't believe Russia IS an enemy, please enlighten me why we are wrong."

No, to you and people like you Russia and Putin are the way ahead :-)
That is your problem, not mine
mikey; No I'm far from alone; ' On March 30, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that the future leader of Syria should be determined by the people of Syria.
This major policy statement by the US took regime change off the table, and was obviously great news for Bashar al-Assad. Combined with Syrian military gains on the ground, Assad was in the strongest position he’d been in since the war in Syria began.

So, why 5 days later would he gas his own people?

But even without a thorough investigation, and less than 72 hours after the alleged chemical attack took place, American political leaders and establishment media claimed that Assad carried out the attack on April 4. Hours later, the US launched 59 tomahawk cruise missiles on a Syrian airfield based on these unproven allegations, killing 9 civilians including 4 children in Idlib province.

Common sense, historical facts and circumstantial evidence suggest that it’s unlikely that Assad gassed his own people. In fact, it’s much more likely that the chemical weapons were from al-Qaeda, ISIS and/or other anti-Assad factions. Indeed, a case can be made that the attack was coordinated by the White Helmets, with US neoconservatives providing the script.'
