Hard Times at the FSB

In a stunning revelation, Michael Waltz, a key U.S. national security figure, was caught using Gmail for sensitive government communications. Reports detail how Waltz and his staff discussed military positions and weapons systems via personal accounts, exposing exploitable data like schedules to potential foreign interception. This lapse follows his earlier blunder of leaking military plans via Signal. If top defense and intelligence officials handle secrets so recklessly, it raises a darkly ironic question: how will FSB agents justify their espionage roles? With U.S. officials practically handing over insights into operations and patterns, the Russian agency might find its job redundant—America’s own security missteps could be doing the work for them.
