You must have missed the part where it is stated several times it is "PRIVATE OSINT" they arent pretending its official, just best guess on based on OSINT. USEUCOM at Level 2 shouldnt be suprising given Putins moves in the last couple of hours.
It reminds me of some one person efforts that we used to stumble across in the 90s in its design and self promoting. The ads are fairly restrained by today's web standards ; the overall effect is nostalgic, at least for me. There are embedded ads, but the author is upfront about it and the efforts to raise their web hosting revenue.. They did put it on a .com suffix after all.
Personally, I hope the site attracts others to contribute to the effort, and that it can aggregate more open source information relating to US military Defcon decisions for the rest of us outside of the classified information sources, which is why I posted it.
"Question: Is the current Defcon level made public?
Answer: No, the current level is not made public right away for security reasons. The alert status for each military branch may also differ at any given time. The status levels on the 'current' page and regional command pages are determined by community intelligence alerts and known threats but is not recorded on the official Change History page until a status change is revealed to the public by the U.S. government."
