Trump Throws Michael Waltz Overboard and Offers Him a Leaky Raft
2025
Overview
Michael Waltz was thrown overboard as national security adviser while being offered a leaky lifeboat, demotion to US Permanent Representative to the UN. The \"permanent\" thing is at the whim of the increasingly erratic president, who had just contrived to ditch his previous unqualified nominee, Rep. Elise Stefanik, before she presented her credentials. The proximate cause of Waltz's demotion was his use of the Signal platform to share classified information. The focus of this story illustrates successful use of the tactic \"flooding the zone\": The medium completely camouflages the actual message. These people were discussing war crimes against Yemen on an insecure channel, but they are pilloried only because they were indiscreet about it, not because they were plotting to attack a country with which the US was not at war. It is alleged that rather than the Signal fiasco, his real crime was his attitude to Iran, where President Trump has had the temerity to disagree with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
