It's interesting how the hackernews-biased views of the war outcomes don't align with how Iranians themselves see that. For instance you can translate from persian the following geopolitical view which will shed a totally different light on the situation to whoever depends solely on hn comments https://x.com/i/status/2041693098833518976
Yes, just a regular Iranian. Hahaha.

Thanks for sharing perspectives from actual Iranians.
Hey there, semi related to your comment above, I read your point that "Sad that my comment got flagged, this is a major problem with hacker news - censorship of comments that prevent people from hearing all perspectives" and agree completely. I've been flagged and shadowbanned for mentioning Iryna Zarutska and in general, anything that people would rather silence than address with words and reason. I'd love to talk more about this. It's sad because most of the people here regard themselves highly but this doesn't match the experience of "this opinion is counter mine therefore it must vanish and I can go on believing no one disagrees with me"
Up until a couple months ago, none of these people would even describe themselves as “Iranian.”
They would all use another term to distinguish between themselves and those living in Iran.

Too bad the internet inside Iran was shut down by the IRGC terrorists regime
