Dems and Repubs fighting as usual... meanwhile, in S. Asia


Feb 27, 2019, 4:07 PM

two nuclear armed nations are involved in an escalating armed conflict directly with one another.

I've been wrong two times, but this isn't one of them.


I have no idea. This is not our fault.


Feb 27, 2019, 4:19 PM

I'm just watching and hoping they chill out.

I assume they will back off at some point, but this has not happened before. And it keeps escalating beyond what I think will be the end of it.

Re: I have no idea. This is not our fault.


Feb 27, 2019, 4:24 PM

They had nukes in 99 and it de-escalated. Plus India has a no first use policy.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah I know, but this goes beyond that. By a decent margin.


Feb 27, 2019, 4:28 PM

Now we got downed planes.

Lots of other scary signals coming out that I don't remember from 2002 or 99.

Again, obviously I know they eventually have to back down, but the further this goes, the more likely a terrible mistake could happen. A LOT is on the line right now.

CSO, you're a smart man who brings a lot to this board.

So please don't waste your intelligence responding to the Doc. He is never interested in any kind of intelligent discussion.

responses on here as much as possible. When people make it personal, I go ### for tat, but if someone who is usually mean or angry with me has a question or a point, I will continue to take it at face value and focus on the words being said, not the person saying it.

I would prefer for it never to become personal, but I can hang with people if they want to go there.

I have been watching the situation. I don't think they would ever use nukes. It is powder keg though.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Looks like things are finally calming down.


Feb 28, 2019, 8:01 AM

Thank God they have nukes. They would have killed so much more of each other by now. Mutual nukes make sides behave so much better.

Feb 28, 2019, 10:20 AM

I agree. Sometimes I think every country should have nukes.

You got that right, they've been fighting over Kashmir since 1948 when the british walked out of India and Pakistan was born.


I don't understand all I know about that situation but it would seem wise if the U.N. security council and all of it's members sat down with Pak. and India and figured out a way to split Kashmir.

Very, very dangerous situation there.

Feb 28, 2019, 2:22 PM

deserve a lot of credit for cooling this situation down for now.

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/abhinandan-varthaman-release-how-the-us-uae-and-saudi-arabia-put-pressure-on-pakistan-2000874

Also, looks like India was gearing up for an escalation last night, but because of Pakistan's careful behavior and the aforementioned 3rd parties stepping in, things are staying put.

I am hearing from a lot of people familiar with Indian foreign policy that the election is actually a contributing cause for escalated tensions. War fever is high in India these days and politicians who score points against Pakistan are dramatically increasing their odds of political success. As a result, lots of analysts on both side of the border are expecting the high alert risk to persist until the Indian elections are finalized.

That's 3 months away... so that's scary.
