Which is exactly why before every NFL game, opposing coaches exchange playbooks and during the game, the quarterback yells to the defense what the upcoming play is going to be.
Wait, what.
Effectively, Julian Assange has let the world into our American coaches meeting. He's published pages of our playbook. He's told the opposition what plays we're weakest defending, which of our star players is injured, and what we're doing with our allies to mitigate those weaknesses.
Irrespective of the incumbent administration's political affiliation, how anybody thinks this is a good thing, is a mystery. From now until the foreseeable future, our friends and allies will be hesitant to speak to our foreign service officers with any candor, for fear that whatever they say will be published on the front page of the NY Times.
I echo John Bolton's sentiments on the subject - "This is bad, very very bad".
Nope. He's published the tactical maps without a battle plan.
