Good times.....

According to a report from Politico, four senior members of U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s Administration have held “secret discussions” recently with some of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s top political opponents, as Washington attempts to see if it can hold a quick presidential election to oust Zelensky from power in Kyiv.

Some of the politicians spoken to by U.S. Officials are reported to be Yulia Tymoshenko, the former Prime Minister of Ukraine, as well as senior members of the European Solidarity party, which is led by Zelensky’s predecessor, Petro Poroshenko.

Aides to President Trump appear to be confident that Zelensky would lose any election due to “war fatigue and public frustration over rampant corruption” despite Zelensky still polling between 45-55% in most polls, well above both Tymoshenko and Poroshenko.

All of this appears to stem from several weeks now of disinformation claims made by U.S. President Trump and other members of his administration, including Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, about Ukraine and President Zelensky, which culminated in last week’s heated-argument in the Oval Office between Trump, Zelensky and U.S. Vice-President JD Vance. These include President Trump calling Zelensky a “dictator without elections” as well as Gabbard and Elon Musk both falsely claiming that Zelensky had “canceled the elections” despite the Ukrainian Constitution forbidding any election to occur while the country is still under martial law as a result of the Russian invasion.

"Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff"

So far this is probably my favorite part of the leaked battle plans. I can't stop laughing about this one. Hegseth literally closes a text with:

"We are currently clean on OPSEC"

"Godspeed to our Warriors."

Clean on OPSEC... Like he even bothered to clear the channel he was currently using!

Accountability when?

Acting Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense, Steven A. Stebbins, notified Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today that he has launched an investigation into him and other DoD personnel for last month’s Signalgate, referred to by Stebbins as the “use of an unclassified commercially available messaging application to discuss information pertaining to military actions in Yemen in March 2025.” The Inspector General states that the investigation will take place in Washington, D.C. and at the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Headquarters in Tampa, Florida, though more locations may be determined throughout the investigation. The Inspector General’s Office requests two points of contact from the Secretary of Defense for the duration of the investigation, a Government employee who is knowledgeable of the subject, and General/Flag Officer who is familiar with the subject and can act as point of engagement with the DoD Office of Inspector General.
