    never mind that Trump is too busy attempting to
    • change the global economic chess board with his ill-conveived tariffs
    • broker a peace accord between Russia and Ukraine
    • fix the Israel / Hamas conflict,
    • annex Canada and Greenland and
    • scam investors to fund his social media platform and meme ventures, and
    • etc.,




    the modern conflict between India and Pakistan can be traced to the 1947 partition amid the United Kingdom's withdrawal from its colonial holdings across a once-united Indian subcontinent.
    The two newly independent nations immediately went to war for control over Kashmir and have since fought three more large-scale conflicts, mostly recently in 1999.

    India and Pakistan possess nuclear weapons, as does China, which neighbors both nations and also administers a far eastern stretch of the Kashmir region. The disputed Himalayan territory is
    at the core of the decades-long feud between New Delhi and Islamabad that took another deadly turn last week after Islamist militants killed 26 people, most of them Hindu tourists, in the town of Pahalgam

    I think India is doing this as a favor for Trump to divert attention away the trade war.

    I'm sure this is going to make me sound like a total *******, and I'm not going to really disagree.

    I think the best thing for the world would be a nuclear exchange - the most limited nuclear exchange possible. Like 1 bomb each.

    Just like we've forgotten that Nazis are bad, we are at the point where Hiroshima and Nagasaki are ancient history with no emotional impact.

    People need a tangible reminder just how destructive and evil nuclear bombs are. I don't think people are afraid of them in the way they used to be.

    Let me know if I get this right -
    Conservatives find it abhorrent when white people kill each other and liberals love it and want to allow them to fight endlessly.

    When it comes to brown people, it's the complete opposite

    more DESI soldiers died while serving the British army than those who died fighting for power grabbing regional battles

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Indian_Army

    Pakistani Generals are more worried about Imran Khan than Modi, and Modi more concerned of Khalistan than independent Kashmir

    the US better let China have Taiwan if they decides to do so, their war gears seems superior(not water cannonball after all)!

    Kashmir needs to be an independent State from those two
