The timeline makes it highly likely that Goldberg was not an "accident".

Once you assume Goldberg was there by design the only question is who put him there.

If the Deep State, he was to do damage to the Trump national security team.

If by the Trump administration, he was to send a message to.... someone.

There's an episode of Deep Space Nine where Sisko and the command staff are trying to figure out how to deal with the Klingon Empire invading Cardassia. Told not to get involved, Sisko and his team contrived a "leak" to give Gul Dukat advance warning of the invasion.

Was this episode with Goldberg "contrived". I have no actual evidence....but the possibility cannot be excluded either.

Ha!

My first thought was similar:

The leak is intentional by the administration, to 1) bring it home to Europe that U.S. military protection of Europe should be compensated (3% of our trade goes Suez, 40% of Europe's), and 2) bring it home to the Houthis that sinking commercial shipping is an existential threat...to *them*.

Plus, goading the Left, of course...

In any case, 1 (one) "error" in 10 weeks sure is an historical improvement!

Also, Jeffrey Goldberg?! Really?
