Been building up for a while.

Not sure I’d be taking two nuclear States falling out with each other too lightly!

Especially ones with a long history of going to war with each other

Predicted on R4 and LBC by region experts last week. Revenge for the murder of 26 folk by Islamic militants in Kashmir. Nationalist Modi taking it up several notches.

Just our luck that the trade deal of all trade deals with India that is going to save our country and put money back in all our pockets was finally thrashed out today.
Curses. Foiled again.

The history of the conflict in Kashmir has parallels with Israel and Gaza - and Britain partitioning the Indian subcontinent in 1947 resulting in the divided Punjab region of Kashmir being fought over by Pakistan and India in perpetuity with human rights abuses being perpetrated on both sides.

Eez complicated:

Not the news anyone wanted to hear, unless you're Trump, as it takes his madness out of the headlines for a while.
Apologies for my frivolous posts on the speeding thread - I needed a break from the real shite going on.
#sigh Sadly, it's just unavoidable on an almost daily basis.
I had such hopes when the Berlin Wall was taken down....what a mess.

India hold a major ace here, they control Pakistan’s water (the Indus and its tributaries). The lifeblood of Pakistan. Something Modi has recently been hurting them with.

Yes, a subcontinent that’s seen waring empires for many hundreds or thousands of years, where opposing religions and cults meet, the lid lifted in 1947.

Trump’s technical insight “They’ve been fighting for a long time if you think about it, centuries actually”.

I laughed as that probably was what he said...or not. Nothing at all surprises me where he's concerned.

Trump will have it resolved by tea time tomorrow.

I had BBC or Sky News on and typed verbatim as he said it . He’s the ultimate waffler, filling silences with meaningless dross …. then being proud with himself for his statesmanlike words in his parallel universe.

When you wake up, he'll have 3 points in the bag.

Despite my glib post earlier I sincerely hope this doesn't escalate further. I've been looking for reports of Pakistan's intentions/actions other than "we are in the process of retaliating".
Two nuclear nations, the possibility of huge casualty numbers can't be underestimated.

FFS its as if people all over the world are just looking to go to war at the moment.

I hope also that it doesn't bring the two communities over here into conflict.

Which ones are those?
I have great belief that it won't go that far, for no other reason than I think people are better than trashing (in a few moments of madness) the entire world.
If they do, well, we deserve every second of pain, agony and regret, simply because the majority sat back and let it happen.
I'm no revolutionary, but ffs, I'm happy to join any and every movement that has a chance to rein in these utter, utter wankers, who threaten mine and your existence, in the very near future.

But additional tariffs will be part of the negotiation.

Especially on the Indians. Trump probably believes they shouldn’t be forgiven for the Battle of Little Bighorn.

As long as they eat their Custurd topping. At the Last (Custurd) Stand in the Dakota Territory. 1876. The Centennial Year. Cause you all know what happened in 1776.
