Dudes rock.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A retired army colonel sent classified Pentagon secrets about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine through a foreign dating website to a person he believed was a woman in Ukraine who called him her “secret informant love”, court filings allege.

David Franklin Slater, 63, a retired lieutenant colonel who was working as a civilian for United States Strategic Command, is accused of illegally disclosing sensitive national defense information.

Slater had a top security clearance while working at US Strategic Command and received training on how to properly handle classified information, according to a justice department press release.

Slater was communicating through the dating website with a person claiming to be a woman living in Ukraine.

“Beloved Dave, do Nato and Biden have a secret plan to help us?” the person asked, among several other overtures requesting classified information from Slater.

On Monday, the former air national guard member Jack Teixeira received 16 years in prison for leaking classified Pentagon information.

The original article contains 284 words, the summary contains 158 words. Saved 44%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

There’s no playing dumb about this from a retired COL. This is not some 3 year E-3 in the national guard. He knew what he was doing. Throw the book at him.
