The call was held via Webex videoconferencing software, hosted on German army servers, but "not all participants adhered to the secure dial-in procedure as required," Pistorius said.

In principle, the systems used by the German military are secure, but one participant dialed in from Singapore using an insecure line, according to Pistorius.

Ugh. So how long have random people been joining secure meetings from random insecure places abroad?

More to the point. Why was the Webex software setup to allow Plain old telephone service connection to connect?

I think there are some interesting aspects to this. First, is the info about french and british personell being active in Ukraine actually new? I think I remember reading about this quite often already some time ago but I don't have any sources right now. Then the second one is, that shortly before the leak Scholz gave yet another explanation on why he doesn't want to send taurus and it was actually quite a lenghty and detailed interview that was also pretty big in the media, in germany at least. And basically his arguments were that taurus requires german personell in ukraine which is too risky. But what's said in the call actually contradicts this, the generals at one point discuss that with some training ukrainians could handle taurus on their own. So that's good to know but also makes me wonder if the purpose of the leak was also to somehow hurt Scholz?

@smonkeysnilas @LaFinlandia
The sooner that the impotent old men of Scholz's generation die out politically, the better. It took the dying out of a generation of Soviet leaders to make change possible and end the Cold War. They always try to shape the world into a recreation of their 'glory years.'

Away with him.

Yes, no doubt about that! And there are many more reasons besides taurus. Not sure if its a generational thing though or rather just the shitty state of our political system.
