That was to be expected. How was the State Department supposed to know that (checks notes) its boss would start a war in the middle of peace negotiations?

The story goes that Philip K Dick, the notable sci-fi author, wrote his famous novel, The Man in the High Castle in part by choosing plot twists at random, using the I Ching. I see his fine opus at work here, too. 2026 is the year of the random plot twists.
