Paulus Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) What sucks is that after CNN picked this up (72hour delay), the real news has been harder to find. Okay, does this have anything to do with the China trade war? China capitulated after the first terrorist attacks killed 40 Indians, right? I mean, these are how negotiations are won on a geopolitical level. Edited February 27, 2019 by Paulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Military air traffic is up over western India tonight. If something's going to happen tonight, it's probably within the next three hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh?? Kind of cloudy here in the OC today. Well it's been a rainy winter so it's not really serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) When these two countries fight, they really go at it. Lots of shelling, large tank battles, aerial dogfights and covert operations. They sorta sneak in all the aspects of a world war in like 48 hours of battle royale before they say "eh" and do a ceasefire. IMO, this is a more likely nuclear flashpoint than anywhere else in the world because of that historical pattern of ratcheting up the war real quick.

I have lived next to Camp Pendleton for years now, and this is an increase in activity. Apaches are headed to SD from Irwin, offshore drills at Las Pulgas, whatever the ***** they're doing in the Ocean with the boats and such. *That said, perhaps "serious activity" was a streeeeech.

Within 10 minutes of my reply to your post I get a text saying my flight out of Orange County was canceled! We always know when something's coming up because the boys in Pendleton are making lots of noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always know when something's coming up because the boys in Pendleton are making lots of noise. Marines have some battalion-level live-fire exercises going on this week. They also have one amphibious group coming home - probably today - and one exercising with a carrier group near the So. Cal. Test Range. Don't know what the Army or Air Force would be doing - Air Force is probably golfing. Army, if @The_Dude and our new moron are any measure, is probably in coloring-book training. But two ARGs, a CVBG, and a battalion of artillery is a pretty busy day. If the Army breaks out the 64 count Crayolas, it could get crazy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the uncivilized savages would be at each others throats if they were left to their own devices. Churchill knew the kindest fate for all of them was for them to remain subjects of Her Majesties Government. It’s not like the Irish who were obviously civilized. They’d be better off under British oversight. The biggest issue with colonialism was that it didn’t last long enough. This could be nothing. But it could also turn into July 1914 quickly. Nobody in Europe in July 1914 thought war imminent. Truly prescient considering the country had a long history of conflict between Hindus and Muslims. If only the Brits in their infinite wisdom could foresee the issues with nation building based on a strategy of "you all look the same to us so be a country and get along. By the way, the [insert ethnic minority] are our favorites and they're running this show. K bye!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
