Why would he need to know targeting, weapons used, etc? More curious is why the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, would need to know any of this?

Mr Bessent was/is in the global investment management business. Would insider knowledge of the bombings present an investment opportunity? Inquiring minds want to know.

Since when was Stephen Miller included in top security plans, let alone the Treasury Secretary??

Though, as we all know, TFG's nominees weren't qualified for these top jobs, they're only wealthy cronies, friends of relatives or those TFG saw on TV!

And yes why was Treasury there?

Yes exact timing of the war plan might help shorting the market kind of thing?

They are always trying to make money off of every single government action.

Some of the emojis were interesting.
People thrilled, almost like there was personal gain.

Let's hear what Defense Secretary Hegseth has to say. Most likely he will sober up tomorrow some time, unless this sends him off on a real bender. In the meantime what has his boss said, let's have his boss' statement in the original Russian.
