What is noteworthy about the chat group is who ISN'T there. We would expect these discussions to be in the Situation Room, led by the President: but of course, Dumb Antichrist was nowhere near, for deniability's sake, with Stephen Miller stepping in to relay what Dear Leader would say if he were there. And we would expect all kinds of military people, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and so on, but not a single one of those was there, because anyone in uniform would throw a shitfit at the idea of this stuff being thrown around on a Signal chat. These people KNEW that this chat group was inappropriate; the only "screwup" was letting themselves get caught.
That, plus he's too damn stupid to be kept in the loop, since he'd probably run to the nearest phone and call his BFF, Vlad, and let him know what was on the horizon for the Houthis. [Except 'Houthi' is a word he is unfamiliar with]
I don't think Trump even knew what was going on - at least that's how he played it after they got caught.
So, Hegseth gets to play war games like a little boy without any of the bigwigs in on the decision and the others all acted as if this is a game to play along with, because, hey, they were put in charge for the big man whose main job is only to play to the cult while he's playing golf.

Bingo! Plausible deniability - Core Trump. His modus operandi.
That was my thinking. Plausible Deniability.

It's like four year olds trying to play monopoly.
Oh, I think Trump issued a general instruction to bomb the Houthis, although of course he couldn’t be bothered to be involved with any details.
Exactly.
