Hot war between nuclear powers. India and Pakistan

These deserves it own thread I feel.

Tit for tat is escalating.

India hit Pakistan airbases including one 10km from the capital with missiles.

Pakistan now responding in kind.

Who knew that electing an insane corrupt racist populist to lead a nuclear power wouldn’t go well.

said the US doesn’t care.

That doesn’t narrow it down a lot.

Well…

Thats not good

Kind of feels strange that India buys more of their weapons from Russia whereas Pakistan has more stuff from USA (though they seem to have recently pivoted to China). I wonder if it ends up being a problem for India to get replacement equipment or parts since Russia needs all their war manufacturing capabilities for their own conflict.

Good news everyone

India’s Foreign Ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Pakistan didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Both made comments confirming this now. Seems little Marco did good.

the indus water treaty is almost certainly up in the air, and india has more power over water flow than they should, which seems to be the core of a lot of these disputes. both sides have a massive interest in peace so it’s probably posturing, but if india continues to take aggressive stances especially regarding water flow, war may be inevitable, especially in the face of a changing climate

Did he, though?

thanks Biden
