This is not an excusal here. You're assuming precident with vague accusations
This does not mean that is either a) wise to divulge something you felt was so strongly secret you didn't divulge too allies, or b) wise to divulge in a boast without having been part of a planned disclosure.

Haven't they though, at least to the UK who've implemented a similar ban on laptops. And there were reports that Canada and France were thinking about such a ban but perhaps determined that they weren't likely targets of such an attack.

It was specifically reported they haven't shared with allies. It seems to me you are picking and choosing which parts of the multiple reports your believing to for your interpretation

Mostly my posts were to separate the difference between what Trump has been claimed to have provided to Russia, compared to what the media has provided to world.
Even for those who blame Trump for releasing classified information about the program or the name of the city, but he should not blame for outing the Israeli operative, the facts of which were provided by the media.

Really? He declassified material that was entrusted to him by an ally. Not only that, he gave it to a state actor that is hostile not only to the US, but the Ally that gave the Intel. I'm not sure how you rationalize that to "he was probably doing it to improve security" while arbitrarily disregarding many salient parts of the reporting.
The media isn't blameless, but your suggesting the President was not only acting with good intentions, but the correct one as well. Strange take to be sure
