So, another job for Jared?
Some scary shit. These two countries really hate one another, and it wouldn’t take much to set them off. Gotta keep an eye on this. Nuclear armed countries to boot!
Only if you want them to end up actually launching nukes at one another…
Got somewhere you wanna bomb? Just claim it’s a terrorist training camp!
Wish I could be POTUS. I’d declare OK, AL and a couple other states terrorist training camps in a heartbeat.
Nothing says resolution of a generational culture wars like “Trump Tower Kashmir”?
A nightmare scenario waiting to happen.
For what I can tell, it’s the Pakis that hate the Indians, Most Indians are happy to ignore Pakistan. But the Military Inter Service Intelligence agency (ISI) seems to believe that is their purpose in live to raise and support militant groups be Kashmiri or Taliban. The US unwisely has tolerated ISI so far, because they helped with the support of the Mujaheddin in the soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Lets not forget the Osama Bin Laden was hiding in a city in Pakistan that has huge military presence, hard to believe that ISI was not involved.
I distinctly remember an adjunct back in my undergrad days warning my class that we would all live to see another nuclear strike between nations, specifically between Pakistan and India. They really, really do not like each other. Kashmir is just the tip of the conflict between those nations. This news today does not surprise me at all. It’s a shame, too, because Kashmir is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
Root cause of the vast majority of the world’s problems?
Organized religion and their sheeple followers.
They fought a third war in 1979 over East Pakistan
Uh…this was in 1971.
O god.
This kept President Obama awake nights.
Right!? I can’t believe this isn’t bigger news. At least it hasn’t escalated yet. Emphasis on YET.
God help us all…
Terrorism is a major revenue source for Pakisatan, a failed state with a long standing radical jihadi terrorist culture and traditions. The vile terrorist institutions and terrorist propaganda in Pakisatan are funded by the virulently barbaric wahabbi sunni tribe of Saudi Arabia.
Pakisatan’s religious, social, cultural, and legal institutions are imbued with terrorist ideology and infested with islamic terrorists and terrorist sympathizers. Just this week, Pakisatan carried out simultaneous terrorist attacks in Iran, Afghanistan and India. Don’t forget that Pakisatan provided shelter to Osama bin Laden and he is still highly respected and consider a martyred messiah and prophet by many ordinary Pakisatani people.
What is not being reported is that Crown Prince Mo Bone Saw (s.a.w) stopped by within hours of the coordinated attacks and gave the Pakisatan government $20 billion for conducting the jihadi terrorist attacks.
As long as countries use terrorism as an instrument of their military strategy and there are countries ready to conduct acts of terror for profit, no one is safe.
Yes and No. I’m really not disagreeing with you. However, there is more to the “chicken and egg” argument here than just blaming religion. When groups of allegedly religious peoples hate each other, they continue to hate each other because they hate each other; any slight increases their ire. They use their respective religions to validate their hatred and provide a degree of false righteous indignation and justification. Even if both cultures had no religion, their differences…whether cultural or tribal…would be enough to set them off, especially when highly prized land is involved along with a sense of having been wronged.
Yes, and I believe this powder keg has a lot more BOOM in it than Israel versus Israel’s neighbors. Pakistan and India just might set off WWIII. And our pResidon’t ain’t up to the task…not even within two orders of magnitude of the talent required to deal with this. And the jackass has strangled the Department of State with serious reductions in the workforce with many extremely talented people leaving/retired. Damn him.
