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.

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

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.

Did that escalate to a full war or was it confined to something like a border dispute?

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.

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

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.

The recent claims by Pakistan of shooting down two Indian jets, amid the ongoing intense military exchanges between the two nations, highlight the escalating tensions in the region. Pakistan's assertion of downing multiple Indian aircraft, including advanced fighters like Rafales, marks a significant development in this confrontation, underscoring the serious nature of the conflict following India's Operation Sindoor strikes targeting alleged militant infrastructure. While India has acknowledged some aircraft losses, the full extent remains unconfirmed, but the situation clearly reflects a dangerous escalation with both sides demonstrating considerable military capabilities and resolve. This episode serves as a stark reminder of the fragile peace between these nuclear-armed neighbors and the urgent need for de-escalation to prevent further conflict.

Simon Dixon thinks this is orchestrated by the military industrial complex and Blackrock et al to asset-strip India, just like they did with Ukraine and Europe.

and I specifically remember India - Pakistan nuclear war being one of the nuclear winter scenarios
