Nobody put anything in those la-de-da terms, knowing full well that (1) there was a significant mine threat and (2) knowing it was about to be an active battlefield.
So did we have the capability to completely open the Strait akin to status quo ante and choose not to, or were we unable to do so?
Neither answer is good.

This board hates peace. Hell I’m tired of paying $4/gal because some middle eastern feud which doesn’t affect us won’t end.
I’d have preferred we never did this. But since we did, I’d now prefer that the situation not end up worse than it was when we started.

Similarly, China had already announced to Potatobrain that, "We will 'reunite' with Taiwan." By all accounts, Xi fully expected to push that position even further during the Beijing summit with Trump. Then came Venezuela. Then came Iran. Then came a new realization by China. So instead of Xi pushing beyond "We will 'reunite' with Taiwan," instead of Xi reasserting "We will 'reunite' with Taiwan," instead of Xi even touching on "We will 'reunite' with Taiwan," Xi asked Trump "What would you do IF (IF IF IF) we attacked Taiwan?" Considering Xi's previously matter of fact pronouncement to Potatobrain, the Trump engagement was a MAJOR backdown ... to which Trump held cards close, and did not respond.
Both sides have always practiced strategic ambiguity. I see no changes whatsoever in Taiwan dialogue, and haven’t in decades.

We entered this term in 2025 with France, the UK, Spain, Germany, all implying they could/should deal with the US as an equal, whether such dealings related to Ukraine, or NATO as a matter of equivalency, despite wildly asymmetric contributions.
What’s my takeaway supposed to be from this?

Nah. I understand why you embellish your position though - it’ll blow away in the wind if it ain’t given a little extra weight.
When this first started, did we not proclaim that the Strait was open and would remain open?

He has this weird theory where this was to expose Europe as cucks who can't open the SOH, even though they weren't involved in this war, and that this isn't a deal and is just a ceasefire buying time so we can REALLY attack after midterms.
The “Europe is so weak, look how they can’t do anything” doesn’t hold much with me. They weren’t consulted beforehand, weren’t on board with it when it started and, at least publicly were told “we got this, don’t worry,” until it was obvious that we didn’t.
The notion that Europe had any responsibility to do anything here has always been super weak. This isn’t Europe’s war. We made it a problem for Europe.

What’s your take then?
We objectively did not do it, are you saying that we just chose not to? Because from a prestige and world opinion standpoint, that’s almost as bad as not being able to.

I’m trying to put together how any resolution here can be a win for the United States.
Unless everyone’s hiding the ball and Iran is giving up the uranium, basically any term possible is worse than status quo ante.
The party line will be “but they promised to do X and Y with their nuclear materials and limit enrichment”. The hilarious retort will inevitably be “these terms are weaker than the JCPOA”.

The problem is that everyone knows we won’t.
And so, all we seem to have shown the world is that we can’t guarantee the Strait’s security if things get squirrelly with Iran even if we have huge naval and aerial superiority. That’s a W for Tehran

But the argument for it is that processing times have become erratic as the USPS shut down local sorting centers. What should matter is the postmark day because the received day is, to some extent or another, outside the control of the voter.
Move the mail in received date up a couple days. Incredibly simple, problem solved.

I need people who oppose this to explain why we’re the only place in the West that insists on counting for weeks?

I don't even know what it is. Is it people who like Trump, hate Trump, are worried he's doing something people won't like... what?
It’s essentially the people they are running out of office, the party, and the MAGA movement on the basis of purity tests centered around non-conservative positions that the President has taken. Loyalty test.
That same trend is why the GOP will be taken out back and beaten in November. Trump and company are cutting off their nose to spite their face.

And yet where the frick are they challenging unconstitutional districts across the country in places like Illinois and California?
Unfortunately partisan gerrymandering is entirely legal at present.
That’s what happens in those places.
Louisiana’s map was only found unconstitutional because it was drawn with the sole consideration of creating a black majority district. Which of course, was by design to get that exact ruling, but it isn’t an expansive one.
For SC or GA or AL or anywhere else’s districts to be “illegal”, they would have to be challenged and a judge find that they are racial gerrymanders. Only Louisiana’s map was ruled on.

But unserious adherence to nonsense just to own the libs is going to result in bad things, soon. It’s going to lose elections.

Of course. But only because the weapons they’ll import from Russia and China will be newer.
