He was responsible for adding a journalist to a highly sensitive Signal chat, after all. In any case, the new acting NSA is not blatantly pro-Russia, so I think that with respect to US support for Ukraine the NSA change at this point is neutral as opposed to less positive.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
