The leak according to those with a more intimate knowledge of how the top secret documents are distributed and this is coming from an ex-CIA officer is that it was leaked by a senior official in Washington. The theory of optimal leakage timetable suggest the idea was to extract more $ from the Biden Admin instead of the classic espionage route otherwise why would it be a leak and not on sold to the Russians?
Unfortunately you are just echoing the typical US military mind set of the hammer and nail solution for all political decision. Step back and see why SA have done a U turn on perceived enemies that US have been surrounding them. Key financial ally of the USD petro$ was put in a position that they depend more on US military supply to fight unnecessary war with its neighbor Yemen and further afield Iran in a region where everyone is a Muslim!
Once again the failure of executing successfully the Ukr proxy approach is now extended to Taiwan!. This strikes me as an approach of desperation, decisions on the fly and a lack of cohesive strategy. You don't ever wonder if the attempt to seal the Russian-China block is more than just an alliance the US always manufacture with its allies? Pre-war when Putin attended the Winter Olympics in China then sealed a 5,000 worded document of their friendship is not something of a thought bubble as they both sat down to digest the situation. It was planned for sometime and just a formality to announce to the world. I thought Biden Admin was cleverer than that but I guess dogmatic ideology blinded this guy. Bring back TRUMP if you want to see some global peace or stick with the Dems and watch the US hegemony disintegrate like a waterfall. This conspiracy of losing the reserve ccy status had been around for decades. Not a new concept but the speed of the unfolding events no doubt surprises everyone, just not in the Washington bubble.

If someone stole highly classified documents from the government (not unlike Trump) for money they need to be found and punished. All free countries should be supporting Ukraine with the weapons they need to win and not just words of moral support. Taiwan is essential to America and China is watching if America loses the will that Russia is expelled from Ukraine. My typical military mindset is what repelled the Japanese from invading Australia.
