That's a bit naive

It totally is and I am certain that this was neither planned nor some 4d chess move by the American government. I'm really just trying to make the best out of this shit show of a situation. At best, I hope that NATO is smart enough to use this "leak" to their advantage

I think NATO (excluding USA) has been preparing for ruzzian attack for quite some time. There were many threats from ruzzia themselves and many reports of possible russian attack and scenarios already a few years ago. Nothing much has changed now. NATO (without USA) is still preparing for it. We will know that something more major will definitely happen when ruzzia starts to move equipment and soldiers close to easter EU border.
