More escalation than deescalation to these eyes. 

 

"This is President Kennedy communicating with Secretary Khrushchev"

India specifically didn't target military installations. Look tough for calming the internal pressure, but signals to Pakistan that it isn't a full on war.

No worries, I’m sure we’ll provide some real leadership soon to help ratchet things down.

Sounds like we're gonna have to make a call to the bullpen....

I had forgotten about that character from season one. I wonder why he was written out of the series.

I didn't know "Paki" was a slur. TIL.

To the guy who didn't believe India jets were shot down. Pakistan now says it’s downed five Indian jets (Delhi reportedly cedes at least three have “crashed”), and the two are now trading artillery along Kashmir. So that's fun, with nuclear foes starting to skirmish.

Pushes can become shoves and shoves can become punches and punches can become an all-out brawl. That's the concern, not that there is a little dust up right now.

Centuries, decades, whatever it takes. 

 

Also, TIL that there are some folks who didn't know that India + Pakistan + Bangladesh used to be one country less than 75 years ago.

Yeah, neither did I. After googling seems like its a thing, UK origin. Figured it was more similar to "Brit" or "Aussie". 

I feel like I need to go apologize to my back yard neighbor now. He is a really good guy and throws cool parties.

Was India standing under Pakistan’s tent or vice versa? Hopefully they keep their nukes stowed in their gym bags.

So catching up on this thread. Looks like you got in trouble by the teacher. Haha. Better shape up!

They shouldn’t have had nukes in the gym bag in the first place. But I read a rumor on Nextdoor that they were invited into the tent by someone he knew from prior skirmishes

He also secured a pardon for his felon father, Charles, granted by his father-in-law on December 23, 2020. One could consider it a late Hannukah present but I suspect given the grantor, it was a Christmas gift from one felon to another. Because, you know, there was a war on Christmas that year.

Guilty on both accounts!

I’m guessing that India is on the verge of signing a trade deal with the US. Trump wants to wave that agreement around proclaiming that it’s the best huge deal of all time.

However if the US even slightly backs Pakistan or condemns India, India will tear up that agreement. It’s the perfect time to demand something from Trump even by not asking for that something.

All I can think about anymore is how Netflix better nail the Trump series they inevitably do. I fantasize about him dying and things going back to normal...and eventually being able to laugh at how much insanity we all survived. 

Probably none of that will end up happening

The US would NEVER back Pakistan or condem India. Where are you getting that from?

Pakistan is backed hard by China. We are anti-China very adamently when it can be done via proxy and shadow like in this case.

If anything we are tying up closer to Russia through all this because India's arms are heavily supplied and financed by Russia.

IMO

But then again, Trump is a moron, so he might actually do something wildly illogical by somehow backing Pakistan (e.g. giving some concililatory or complimentary language like "Shariff is a great guy, Pakistan and I are friends") and condemning India and being in direct conflict to his aims in other areas and completely mixing signals. I guess.
