THE MISTAKE OF THE YEAR
Trump’s War Plans for Yemen Mistakenly Sent to a Liberal Reporter
In a jaw-dropping breach of security that has rocked political and media spheres, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of far-left online magazine, The Atlantic, disclosed he was mistakenly added to a top-secret group chat by President Donald Trump’s national security team. The conversation, held on the encrypted app Signal, laid bare intricate plans for military strikes in Yemen, exposing a stunning lapse in protocol that Goldberg described as “jaw-dropping.”
Unfolding on March 24, 2025, this incident has thrust key figures—National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of Defense J.D. Vance, and Secretary of State Pete Hegseth—into a firestorm of criticism over the handling of classified information.
Jeffrey Goldberg
He is a seasoned Washington, D.C. “journalist”, so he should know better than to write an article about such an event — revealing private messages that tie to national security is anti-American and irresponsible, but I will get to that later.
Goldberg stumbled into the chat after accepting a connection request, initially hoping for a scoop on unrelated issues like Ukraine or Iran. Instead, he found himself witnessing a live discussion of military strategy. “I didn’t think it could be real,” he later wrote, his disbelief turning to astonishment as messages flowed. That astonishment became certainty when airstrikes hit Yemen soon after, aligning perfectly with the plans he’d glimpsed.
The texts were startlingly detailed.
Mike Waltz kicked off with, “Final go on Yemen strikes—coordinates locked, timing confirmed,” prompting J.D. Vance to respond, “Assets in place, ready to execute. Awaiting your green light.” Pete Hegseth added, “Diplomatic channels quiet—Houthi response unpredictable but contained for now.” Waltz followed up: “Strike package approved—B-2s airborne, ETA 0300 Zulu.” Vance then injected economic concerns, texting, “Oil prices could spike if this drags—markets hate uncertainty. Quick and clean is key.” Hegseth replied, “Agreed—minimal fallout, or we’re explaining $150-a-barrel to the public.”
Goldberg theorized Waltz mistook his contact for another official—a suspicion reinforced when Hegseth texted, “Wait—who’s the 202 number?”—likely spotting Goldberg’s D.C. area code before the group went silent.
The ramifications are profound.
Sharing classified military plans on a messaging app is precarious; looping in a liberal journalist amplifies the risk to national security. Goldberg noted the administration’s cavalier texting might have jeopardized the mission, though the strikes succeeded. President Trump shrugged off the Goldberg article, saying, “I don’t know anything about it.” His response stirred up Democrats who are now warning these sort of leaks could undermine trust with allies and embolden adversaries.

Waltz, Vance, and Hegseth now face intense scrutiny.
Waltz, as the apparent initiator, shoulders blame for the blunder. Vance’s dual focus on logistics and oil prices—“markets hate uncertainty”—reveals his broader strategic lens, while Hegseth’s diplomatic and economic insights underscore the operation’s complexity.
Democrats say the silence of Trump’s team since the incident only deepens questions of accountability. Critics are also denouncing the incident by saying it is a hallmark of “Trump’s reckless leadership.” Supporters of the administration dismiss it as a minor misstep overshadowed by a successful strike against Houthi targets.
In my view, the responsibility falls heavily on Waltz, and his error borders on inexcusable—potentially warranting dismissal, which I’d back if Trump chose that path, though I doubt he will. It’s a human mistake, yes, but in roles of such power, where war strategies are at play, precision is non-negotiable. A slip like this, especially if carrying out a much bigger operation, doesn’t just endanger American lives; it hands the Left a golden opportunity to pounce. They’ll seize any chance to undermine the president, and this blunder fits the bill perfectly. While I will always stand behind the Trump administration, the optics here are undeniably poor. Brushing it off is one tactic, and doing such is likely the plan. But holding someone accountable would send a stronger message. Regardless, the mission succeeded—this time.
As for Goldberg…
I get it — he did not ask for the invite — it was an unintended front-row seat to power. “I accepted the connection request, hoping this was the actual national security adviser,” Goldberg admitted, never anticipating he’d witness both history and a scandal. However, despite him having no control over being added to the group — he did have control over how he handled the situation. And like any liberal would, he failed terribly. He was more curious than responsible — so his first failure was not identifying himself immediately. But that’s not what makes me boil. I’m red hot over the moronic decision to publish a story about it — detailed text messages included.

Goldberg wanted his name trending on X; he wanted to be the liberal hero who showed the anti-MAGA crowd how incompetent the Trump administration is when it comes to security. He wanted his 15-minutes of internet fame. Well, he got it. The Left will applaud his “journalism” today, and then tomorrow his star will fade back to zero. Meanwhile, the damage is done. And the rest of us who care more about national security realize Goldberg is symbolic of the sort of person who is killing the word “patriotism” one letter at a time.
In the end, the fallout will likely spark fierce debate over transparency, competence, and security protocols. Vance’s oil price worries, tied to global economic stability, add another layer to the stakes. The press will run with this story for weeks, reminding everyone who will listen that although the Yemen strikes may have hit their mark, the administration’s control over its secrets has taken a measurable hit.
