Pakistani media is claiming it has shot down two Indian jets
this territory is moderated
Well, we're about to learn what a direct military conflict between nuclear armed nations looks like. Too bad it's happening where most of the people on Earth live.
reply
Well, Pakistan started it once before in 1999-2000. At that time they were also nuclear states.
For a long time I had thought that there must be talks over any or whatever issues there. But Pakistan doesn't care about talks and is not a state governed by single authority.

I would argue that it is actually a state governed by a single authority. The authority though is the military. Now the bigger question is how functional even are the nukes Pakistan has and that is where I think a critical issue lies I am not sure how many on either side actually work or work well
reply
That's not a risk I'd be willing to accept, but I'm sure the decision makers aren't the ones who will personally pay the price.
reply
Did that escalate to a full war or was it confined to something like a border dispute?
reply
It was sort of a boarder dispute. Pakistan army sent militants in the winters through mountains and set their base camps on the peaks. After a long struggle, all of them were killed or caught. The most important thing in that war was that they had all the weapons that Pakistan army used to have.

Do you think this conflict will stay similarly limited?

I don’t see anyone touching it with a 10 foot pole. India will steamroll Pakistan because even with some US equipment it’s old and Pakistan isn’t keeping up with it
Yes, there's no doubt about it. Pakistan knows it doesn't stand a chance against India. And the world knows Pakistan shelters terrorism.
If you and your family ate not too close to the conflict zone, you should not be scared.
I would suppose the overpopulation is a reason, especially in that part of the world.
reply
I'm not personally scared, just concerned for billions of innocent bystanders.

USA has invaded far more countries than any other over the last 75 years.
reply
Ehhhhhhhhh woah now the USSR/Russia would like some words
reply
Can you substantiate that assertion with some numbers on the number of invasions carries out by USSR/Russia vs USA? USA 'wins' by a large margin especially if you include the number of ongoing unlawful drone attacks and 'interventions' not to mention 'extraordinary renditions' that USA has done over the last 20 years internationally in locations where no war is even declared. Indonesia, Iraq, Iran(remember the US installed puppet Shah?), Afghanistan, Libya, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Laos etc etc

Oh mannnnn I am so ready!!!! Since 2020 just for fun
Syria, CAR, Mali, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Libya, Venezuela, Sudan for sure. Then you can add Mozambique, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka are the first that come to mind! Those are just new deployments to in the last 5 years! I didnt even need to go back to 1950!
reply
Russia has invaded Venequela? Syria? Sri Lanka? Madagascar? Libya? Kazakhstan? Since when? You have links to evidence of this?
Is this dispute over land?

In my eyes not really.... yes Kashmir has been disputed for decades now but the terrorist attack was directed at Hindu's. Pakistan has a huge issue with Islamic insurgencies from their coast where they are dealing with attacks against Chinese developers to ISIS-K and others. To me this is more about religion than anything and an attempt to push back on India by uniting the Gulf States.

Thanks for the info

US hegemony is in decline. China is rising. There will be disruption. Britain has a lot to answer for regarding the mess it left in India and Pakistan.

That is by far one of the most screwed up things I have ever heard from you. Children should not suffer plain and simple and it is sick of you to take a topic like this and turn it into a Bitcoin thing. Grow up I thought you were an adult after all.

Read a book a while back called 'Warnings: Finding Cassandras to Stop Catastrophes' (https://www.amazon.com/Warnings-Finding-Cassandras-Stop-Catastrophes/dp/0062488023)
and I specifically remember India - Pakistan nuclear war being one of the nuclear winter scenarios
