Biggles Flies Again

[Bob Crowley]

It seems "The Atlantic's" editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg was included in discussions between the US "most senior security advisers" about the pending attacks on the Houthis.

Something that irritated me was the Biggles Flies Again attitudes of some in the group.

For Goldberg, the security breach continued. After the bombing, Waltz celebrated by posting three emojis — a fist, an American flag and fire. There had indeed been fire — Yemen's health authorities say the bombing killed at least 53 people.

Witkoff was not to be outdone, and, Goldberg wrote, sent five emojis to the group: two sets of hands praying, a flexed bicep and two American flags.

I suppose one advantage is that if the Trump administration decides to launch World War III we might be able to read about it in the newspaper before it happens, complete with emojis.

The red flags raised by Team Trump's latest blunder

In any other presidency, the story would rock the US: top national security advisers mistakenly adding a journalist to their group chat. But Washington is not what it used to be.

It's a common internet joke that the last content of the internet will be a meme about the end of the world.

I think that we are just about at the point where the communication that CAUSES the end of the world will also be a meme.

All I can think of is Monty Python's suggestion that the next book in the series is Biggles Flies Undone.
