Discussing sharing Top Secret Codeword information is not "taking a cheap shot"; it is raising concerns about inappropriate dissemination of classified information.
In a previous life, I was cleared for Top Secret codeword information, but you are only cleared for that specific codeword information - there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of compartmentalised TSc segments; access to to one, or many, does not give access to all - it's on the "need to know" principle. One could be cleared for Top Secret Umbrella information (made up example*), but not need, or be allowed, access to Top Secret Minotaur information.
Also, why would Allies pass on information, which, if discussed, could compromise their sources - as the article states

One senior Nato diplomat quoted by Reuters said: "If true, this is not going to instil confidence in allies already wary of sharing the most sensitive information."

*the actual codewords themselves are classified
