The Economist.
Hello and welcome to the Intelligence from the Economist.
I'm your host, Jason Palmer.
Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.
Nigerian politics is another.
Our correspondent says that's apparent in the details of a sexual harassment scandal that'll be litigated in a parliamentary hearing today.
And there's one behavior that employees find more annoying than any other,
having their ideas stolen.
But our columnist says there are plenty of reasons to forgive thieving colleagues or to wait for the theft to backfire.
First up, though, 10 days ago,
America carried out the largest airstrikes on Yemen since President Trump took office.
Again, the targets were radar and drone systems used by Houthi rebels,
an Iran backed militia that's been threatening trade routes in the red Sea since 2023.
You know who wasn't surprised by the strikes?
Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine.
You know why?
Because he had been added to a group on the encrypted messaging app Signal,
in which everybody who's anybody in America's security establishment was plotting out the attacks.
And you know who claimed not to know a damn thing about it.
You're saying that they had what they.
