intelligence operations targeting Russia....ie...it was specific to the Ukrainian conflict.

Further, the story was Martin Matishek at The Record. I read it and had the same feeling when I read other TDS posts here. It assumed the worst possible POTENTIAL impacts with the assumption that Hegseth's staff would not be aware of any of the concerns that this nonmilitary reporter had or that they are under Putin's control - both absurd assumptions.

Even further, it was an order done preceding the WH Zelenskyy meeting specifically because the Trump Adm expected a cease fire. A cease fire means a cease of hostilities. It was an expected action. It was a reasonable action. It was a necessary action to get peace. Zelenskyy's behavior was not expected (but perhaps should have been since he actively campaigned for Harris in PA in the Fall of the election - foreign power tampering with election claims never came from the MSM on that one btw).

There is no mention whatsoever that the order stood for any longer than the Zelenskyy meeting melt down. There is no evidence whatsoever that such an order persisted after the meeting, and the department does not discuss anything with the press. It did reveal that there is a another Deep State mole within the department who broke an oath of secrecy that needs to be hunted down and prosecuted though. As a military man, you understand why. This story was particularly harmful since it feeds into all the fears of the Trump Haters in this country.

Unlike you, I trust Trump and his department picks. I am losing no sleep over this.

We’ve stopped all cyber operations against Russia per Hegseth. Russia hasn’t stopped it against us. What the actual fuck?

Trump also halted military aid to Ukraine …even the aid that as already allocated. Both are big mistakes and you will see this in the near future. Trump is asking nothing of Russia. Trumpsplain that to me.

1) You're relying on the NYT - BIG mistake proven over and over.
2) I am quoting other sources that say that the ops were specific to the Ukrainian conflict region.
3) Again, this was done just before the meeting which unexpectedly went south - there is no way that the US is "turning everything off against Russia". It is absurd to claim that.
4) Why do you think that it continues?
5) How do you know that Russia was not stopping theirs? Do you think the NYT has special sources inside the Putin military cyber ops division? I'm sure that they either communicated with each other in anticipation of a cease fire and again when no cease fire.
Why would you think otherwise unless you're a TDS'er?

^ Military aid was halted because after a weekend love tour in Europe, Zelenskyy was told by the EU that while they would provide some assistance, they still want the US to be the primary funder/supplier. Zelenskyy was told by Trump aids today that the time to move for peace is now.
Zelensky quadrupled down in a tweet today that said the end of the war was "far, far away" which is a clear indication that he is not ready for peace talks unless he gets membership in NATO - a nonstarter for all (and Z knows it).

Thus, the US "wants to make sure that our contributions are going toward a solution".
I think that the wording is perfect. because Trump (and I) want peace and no more part of this unwinnable kill fest.

The reason nothing is being focused on Putin is because he agreed to come to the table, but Zelensky hasn't done so yet - at the huge detriment to his people. Zelenskyy's actions appear to be that of a potentially budding dictator as well as I've gone over.

We can't force Zelenskyy to agree to a cease fire and have peace talks that can focus on Putin's issues, but we don't have to be a part of this futile sink hole anymore either which we frankly can't afford anyways.

And until it’s reported that Russia has stopped cyber operations against us…it hasn’t stopped. Pretty simple.

Zelensky was just speaking the truth. Unless a fair peace deal is obeyed the table, why would Ukraine sign one? Russia is asked to concede nothing…that’s appeasement and you know it. Explain to me why the US voted with Russia, N Korea, and Iran at the UN. Trump blames Ukraine for the war. Do you agree with that?

Libs will never trust Trump. They also think that Pete Hegseth who served honorably in Iraq would betray his country. They are probably most worried about this because it is exactly what they themselves have done (see Milley and China).

Amazing coincidence btw - every single major story coming from the NYT and WaPo choose to carry or break just happens to work against Trump. An amazing statistical coincidence. I read the source article, and I thought the guy sounded like one of the libs on this board.

to continue knowingly lying to their audience...resulting in millions of misinformed readers/viewers...just look at the Trump supporters on this Forum.

Who believes those anymore?

the media.

The bottom line is that you already held this notion before you read it - they know their base well - confirmation bias.

It is preposterously stupid.
"Former marine shut down all cyberops against Russia worldwide because Trump sucks Putin's cock"
Get some sleep.

and yes, Trump sucks Putin cock.

and I've learned not to lose sleep over those. Take care. I am sure that you are a good guy too.

Cyberops by policy will not discuss anything of their actions and protocols for fear of revealing information?

Tall order - in fact impossible.

I'll give you this, but the whole story is absurd.

Do any of you people have an independent thinking brain cell, just one?

He did the same thing before with his pen pal unilaterally cancelling joint exercises with S Korea for nothing in return.

How have those gone in the past?

Critical thinking is in such short supply these days.

Other whores Trump fucked over the years.

Almost everything he’s done so far is idiotic. I like Musk, but what the fuck does he know about government efficiency? Dude should stay in his lane and continue to make great cars and launch cool rockets.

And I love the withhold from The Camo Con Man.
He seems to want to run his people off the cliff when trump was giving him a chance to negotiate a settlement that preserved some of his country.
If we could stop Putin now we would, but we can't - you voted for Biden and Obama - that's on you.

The war is unwinnable.
Trump want's peace. This will force Zelenskyy to the table, or reveal that he is acting for his own behalf rather than his country - which reveals him to all without TDS.
Let's see what he does.

Btw, it was completely unacceptable to start arguing and demanding security guarantees that are part of the subsequent peace talks at a signing ceremony that was in front of the media - and he was specifically warned by both R and D senators not to do it.
Ukraine's Ambassador's reaction with her head in her hand revealed that she knew he was going off script and in a really bad way.
Also muttering and calling Vance a bitch is also unacceptable.
We have given so fucking much money and aid...and he does this?!!!! AFTER also campaigning against Trump last Fall?!!! ( I recall saying to my wife, "wtf does he think he's doing? Does he know that Trump can win?" - but anyways....
That kind of behavior is unacceptable. The Euro hug tour was also insulting with oddly identical prepared rebukes by the countries who want their free military ride to last forever and who are facing a reciprocal tariff promise from Trump to set a fair palying field for the US.
An apology should be expected. If he can't stomach it, he is putting his pride above his people, and he needs to be replaced....the Euros will do that pretty quickly when they see that the full cost of their own protection from this war is now on them.
