What is Happening with India and Pakistan?

Could he be persuaded?

There's some Trump dude nearby in Vietnam, he's been good in solving such long-running disputes.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) still expects this year's World Cup match between India and Pakistan to go ahead, despite a drastic escalation in tensions between the two nuclear armed nations.

Despite ongoing military action between the two countries, the ICC reportedly still expect a group stage match between the two nations at the World Cup in England to go ahead.

Both have nukes, so this is extremely worrying.

Pakistan is a known sponsor of terror (bin Laden hid out there till he was killed, they house the taliban), and India bombed a terrorist training camp.

Pakistan hit back and shot down Indian planes and captured a pilot.

This could either escalate quickly or fizzle after this series of strikes.

Surprisingly little attention being paid, not sure if thats a good thing or not.

Who knew diplomacy could be so hard? A lack of U.S. diplomatic leadership is really showing here. China wouldn't mind seeing these two F each other up. Russia's only interest would be selling arms to India. The Saudis don't care and Iran has little to gain other than to hope Pakistan's nuclear scientists flee to Tehran before the bombs drop. There are no adults to intervene right now.

Let them fight it out . 1 of the 2 will win . Then it will be settled for good.

Saudis don't care? BS. They have pumped billions into propping up their Wahhabi form of Islam in Pakistan. Pakistan was/is down with the Taliban.

What's going on? Same as always. People relieving themselves in the streets (called pulling a Radcliffe), worshiping animals. SOS

Indians drew a picture of Mohammed, and then said Momo is a Dodo.

Certain elements of the royal family have pumped funds into Wahabist madrasas. MBS doesn't give two chits about that. A decimated Pakistan and The Kingdom joining the nuclear club (the reason they are hot to buy US nuke technology through their favorite sales representative, Jared Kushner) will make them the top dogs of the Muslim world and MBS will have the the West's ear on any and all matters. Israel is down with this because a strong Saudi Arabia effectively neuters Iran - a common goal.

You do realize that Imran Kahn is Pakistani PM, right?

FACT: Alex Jones on Rogan upstaged Michael Cohen in Congress

FACT: Cohen testimony upstaged Trump-Kim nuclear summit

FACT: Trump-Kim upstaged India-Pakistan conflict, first time a nuclear power directly attacked another nuclear power.

THEREFORE: Alex Jones may have just upstaged global thermonuclear war.

Delhi is in high alert. Military and police everywhere in case something happens. A city which is impossible to drive through in normal times is almost impossible now.

It has been brewing for quite some time, but it is accelerating.

The solution:

Each country send some plates of their best Curry and Butter Chicken to each other. This should make peace.

Sorry but I just can't get excited about this one. Invested too much time on what was the impending US Vs NK apocalypse to get all worked up again so soon. Just going to sit this particular story out...

So you're saying the traffic situation got better? Sweet.

someone was saying today that the fallout from these nukes, which are at best 3-4 times the yield of little boy, would be a problem. is this a joke?
