One wonders if the people who hated Biden for egg prices feel any shame at all?
Well there’s a handful. For them you can suggest

No. The preservation was all done by the US attacking them. Everything on their part is just well motivated defense.

Israel is happy to take the blame, because of course it does want the war. But it is a stretch that the whole "Path to Persia", which included Iraq, Libya and Syria was only done at the behest of Israel.
I'm not an Israel shill, the behavior in Gaza is abhorrent.
It's happening a lot on reddit as well. You'll find a bunch of pro-israel accounts which are private.
Who knows, you may be legit, but forgive me for not trusting you and these other new accounts that always seem to float up when Israel is discussed. Especially since it's well known that Israel is spending nearly a billion dollars on online propaganda [1]

The straight is exactly the same. Iran is blocking the straight to pressure the world to pressure the US and Israel to stop their aggression. It's completely logical, reasonable, and is really a defense strategy.
The US blockading the straight is an offensive move to try and force Iran to... actually it's completely unclear what the US wants Iran to do. We just attacked them because of some imaginary threat cooked up by Israel.
Instead, the "Israel controls the world" narrative, repeated incidentally by many Western and pro-Russian outlets on Twitter and YouTube is the top comment.
So probably this censored comment is correct but outside the Overton Window.
Well, based merely on the past 3 months, I am not certain he is a useful way to measure truth or evaluate anything as fact.
That said, in somewhat broad strokes, I don't disagree with the gist of your post.
> The meek recent Senate protest means nothing. If the elites didn't want the war, the House and the Senate would have 2/3rd majorities to stop it.
Yesterday’s AIPAC-driven ouster of Rep. Thomas Massie should tell you why no one is trying to stop this and who these “elites” you speak of answer to.
> The IRGC wants the blockade for self-preservation among its own population to show it is resisting "The West".
They are not showing off. They are actively and successfully resisting “The West”. Which could only sustain 5 weeks of active hostilities, got nowhere, hurt its position in the ME severely, but still cannot concede. Which brings us back to the root cause.
Yeah, i definitely had nothing to do with him accusing his party of protecting pedophiles and repeatedly voting with the left to block Trumps agenda. It must have been the jews.
Going to need a better source than a habitual liar.
Iranian negotiators probably shouldn't believe him, because it's not against interest in that context. There probably just aren't any on Hacker News.

> And wait till you find out you find out who Epstein et al. were working for.
Oooh, please tell me. I'm all ears.
It’s true, “MAGA KY” has Trump’s name slapped on. Like the Zionist war againt Iran. Which you clearly support.
> I'm all ears.
You’re clearly not.
