Pentagon and NATO war plans are said to have leaked online yesterday. More followed today. But are they legit or is someone messing with us?

that both sides of the Russo-Ukrainian war have been. But if that’s the case, then whose disinformation is it? And what are they trying to disinform us about?

Weirdly, the Pentagon has acknowledged that the documents “are legitimate Defense Department documents, but the copies appear to have been altered in certain parts from their original format,” the Times writes. These edited versions, according to DoD officials, “overstate American estimates of Ukrainian war dead and underestimate estimates of Russian troops killed.

But Russian media, too, would appear to be suspect. On RT.com, one of the nation’s most popular news outlets, an op-ed entitled “” calls the docs “misinformation” and argues that the documents were “probably prepared and distributed” by “ pro-Kiev analysts.” The Times also reports that “pro-war Russian bloggers” had suggested that the leak was part of a “disinformation effort” and a researcher that the Times talked to

who studies Russian messaging said that “pro-Kremlin voices were saying the leak was an American or Ukrainian disinformation campaign.”The Justice Departmentit’s opened an investigation into the leaks but has declined to comment further. I don’t think I’m going to hold my breath for any forthcoming results from that investigation but I am pretty damn curious to see what happens next in this little saga.
