In an astonishing security breach, 18 senior officers, including the vice president and secretary for defence, discussed plans for US military airstrikes on the Houthi targets in Yemen using a group chat, and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg in the group. On Day 65, US correspondents James Matthews and Martha Kelner discuss this major blunder, how it happened, and what the consequences could be. Plus, the second lady and national security adviser Michael Waltz are in Greenland, a move that has sparked anger from officials there. If you've got a question you'd like James, Martha, and Mark to answer, you can email it to [email protected].
