The White House is starting to rebuild the NSC with aides that are staunchly aligned with Trumpf's agenda. Derek Harvey, a military intelligence analyst and retired US Army colonel, is expected to be named senior director for intelligence. "Always, we're letting go of people," Trumpf told reporters about the firings of aides to National Security Adviser Mike Waltz in the wake of the Signal group chat controversy. "People that we don't like, or people that we don't think can do the job, or people that may have loyalties to somebody else." This news is no surprise. The NSC will undergo a dramatic Islamophobic and anti-NATO realignment, rife with faulty analysis and bellicose policy decisions-- an AIPAC dream come true. When Democrats return to power, they should immediately rescind the POTUS AUMF. The damage this right-wing NSC will cause will take years for Democrats to repair while Ukrainians suffer and the Palestinian population and their lands further reduced.
