    India cuts a deal with the Taliban (low interest "loans") who are not that happy with Pakistan right now. Back the Balouchi calls for independence. Would not cost much more than some weapons and recognition.

    Pakistan starts some shit, well India has proxy armies ready to go.

    Balouchi independence is all well and good but does Modi really want a disentegrating, nuclear armed, Pakistan? But then again, Modi seems like a barely brighter Trump so I doubt he's played that out.

    Let's see, supposedly this happened on Monday.  The surl got wind of it on (checks notes) Wednesday.  Hell, I had no clue about this until just now.

    No one gives fucks.  Let them fight.

    Just because American Media doesn't cover something doesn't mean it's not important.   Oh, look, wrestling is on.   Gotta go...

    FUCK YOU.  I don't eat that PF Changs shit.  I go to real-deal chinese joints.  The kinda places you can get chicken feet and stewed tripe and legit dumplings.

    In other words, I am 1,000 times more qualified -- and more likely to be successful -- in any trade negotiations with China than any fucking member of this current clownshow admin would be.

    We just keep repeatedly shooting ourselves in the dick, slapping another magazine in the gun when we burn through the previous mag, and begging China out loud "won't you stop me from doing this?"  China's response...

    I bet if I paid, you'd eat there.

    Unlike the U.S., Pakistan actually does have a deep state of mostly unaccountable and uncontrolled elements within the security and military sectors.  The long coziness with Islamist terror groups has gotten them into a wag the dog situation where the relationship is not entirely instrumental and true believers and radicals have a home in the apparatus. 
     

    It’s hard to see how this happened without at least the tacit approval of ISI or a part of it. At the same time, entirely plausible that Pakistan’s political leadership was unaware. The fact that it happened in Kashmir will lead India to calibrate a bit in a way an attack in non-disputed territory would not. 

    Jammu and Kashmir has to be one of the longest ongoing border disputes.  They've been at odds since the Partition (1947) and the status quo doesn't have an end in sight.

    I love these dated references that I find on Surly. A few weeks back, someone posted a picture of George Steinbrenner with Billy Martin from the late 70s or early 80s and many of us olds gave it the +1 laugh rep. I try and remember that to a younger person, a Billy Martin reference in 2025 would be like if my grandfather had said something like "reminds me of Connie Mack, amirite?" in 1982. 

    I think about stuff like this all the time.   The moon landing was 66 years after the Wright Brothers flight.   It's been 55 years since the moon landing and we flew a helicopter drone on Mars in 2021.  Time is interesting.

  6. Took the new 1911 out to the range today.  Damn if it isn't a lot of fun to shoot.   My Walther full size is a little snappy but the 1911 is such a different beast.  It'll just be a range toy but I really enjoyed shooting it.

    I also put the folding brace and red dot on the HK 416 .22lr and it's such a blast to shoot.
