Some of the recent reporting is focused on discussions about how they'll bomb Fordow, Iran's most secure nuclear facility. Should they, the US is expected to use the largest non-nuclear bomb in existence, the GBU-57 series MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator).
It also looks like percentage-wise at least (Iran is only capable of firing a fraction of the missiles they initially did) more of Iran's bombs are making it through the dome and one is claimed to have hit a civilian hospital.
War makes you feel so safe doesn't it? /s

Not 100% sure but under the hospital was a military building that got destroyed. It is actually very hard to get information about the targets on both sides. I hope both sides calm down because there will be no hiding in bunkers for no side.
How is it possible that mankind degenerated like this. We now bomb nuclear buildings? With the strongest bombs we have? Whats next? Hiroshima, nagasaki, ... What will be number 3 and how many will follow?

War does not make one feel safe...unless you are that guy from Palantir (or whatever) that was saying the only way to feel safe is by ensuring those that would do you harm are scared?
I mean when is humanity going to figure out that we are only hurting ourselves?
This is why I Bitcoin!!!
When we are using Bitcoin to communicate value to each other and nothing else...then we will have a civilization that rewards ideas that positively move humanity forward through time...vs...our current situation.

I hope bitcoin stops war but I haven't thought about it much. It certainly stops inflation via money printing which is how war is normally funded, and should make the state more honest, but I suspect war is more fundamental than that.

Maybe it won't stop war but it will make it smaller in scale. Less funding - smaller war.

It seems like they are still threatening Iran to get Iran surrender to the deal. If US wanted to do it, it would be done already.

Iran is not going to surrender. That's not how dictators respond to threats afaict. Without some anomaly occurring, the US is just signaling how "just" it was to give them the option to not be bombed. Maybe they won't bomb them, but I doubt this ends in surrender. I also have no idea what I'm talking about.

I also doubt the surrender. I'm saying that US is just threatening Iran. Israel has already bombed at some nuclear facilities in Iran but IEA has confirmed that it wasn't a direct attack on the store of uranium. But at Fordow the nuclear facility is much deeper and connected with many tunnels, so to decide the exact target is itself a challenge and then US or Israel are not going to hit the store directly for that may lead to severe consequences.

The wealth and exorbitant privilege of the US and the west generally are based upon their centuries of trade, military and banking dominance over all other nations and peoples. Life and DNA are fundamentally protocols designed to compete until death for territory and resources.
China is now the strongest productive economy and has aligned with Iran and Russia who are able to operate outside of the USD/SWIFT hegemony only because China has built its alternative trade payments protocols and China can buy their exports and provide the manufactured goods they need.
Venezuela threatened to add its oil supply to the Chinese supply but Trump regained strategic control of the Panama canal cutting of direct exports to China.
Russia has lost its naval base in Syria but continues to take Ukraine territory.
Removal of the Iran government would be a major victory for the Wests ongoing hegemony in the current multi-pronged proxy war between USA and China.
The wealth and privilege of the West is built upon the capture and control over global resources and imposition of protocols like SWIFT, World Bank and IMF which perpetuate western dominance and wealth.
China is challenging that dominance because it has the scale, cultural uniformity and beliefs capable of credibly building an alternative.
