That seems to be the main qualification for high ranking officers these days. See the song I posted upthread. [Proven vaccines are not good, but unproven peptides are.

[Cuban diplomat expelled by the felon’s administration.](https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/mike-waltz-says-cuban-diplomat-083336214.html) > [@](#): > > U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz has announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed paperwork to expel a Cuban diplomat accused of shoving and attempting to assault an American diplomat. > > Speaking on Fox News’ _Hannity_, Waltz said the diplomat would be sent back to Cuba within 24 hours. “He’s gone. He is going to be on a plane to Havana within the next 24 hours,” Waltz said. > > The announcement follows a heated confrontation on Tuesday between U.S. and Cuban officials at the United Nations, where Waltz accused representatives of the Cuban government of attempting to disrupt his speech. This is the United States government ejecting a member of the Cuban delegation to the United Nations for something that occurred at the United Nations. This is petulant and abusive. If the Secretary-General of the United Nations had requested it, then that would be a different story. And it’s not like the current US administration hasn’t abused a country’s diplomats before.
