Jane Austen's Political Tweets

A delightful diversion parodying the political musings of our time concerning Alberta, Canadian affairs, and the tumultuous intrigues of American governance! Such an endeavor, when graced with the keen wit and sparkling irony of Miss Austen, is a treasure.

Until the insane dementia addled brain of President forgets what he has agreed to, in just a matter of a few days or weeks, gets tired of being mocked as a loser and decides he wants to play the tough guy, and starts the threats of escalating the war with Iran yet again.... This is going to happen.

What's revealing here is that Iran and Oman are negotiating what is essentially a shared hormuz toll ("service fee") agreement. So the US is moving pretty rapidly to treat a post-war toll system as a given. 'Come up with an agreement on tolls or we'll attack!!' In other words, a massive defeat.
