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...

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.

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.

Golden Goat Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) I traveled to India a few dozen times on business between 2006 and 2016. Early on, I befriended an area commander for the Indian Home Guard. He was surprisingly candid about some of the things he discovered as a commander in the Indian military. At lunch one day, he brought up Pakistan, asking, "Do you know our first move if Pakistan attacks us?" He then put his arms up in surrender. He proceeded to tell me just how bad the corruption was in his country, and the story both fascinated and horrified me at the same time. I always knew that corruption existed there, but I never imagined it could be so widespread and public! Many politicians don't even try to hide it until they're indicted. Even then, if they skimmed enough through the years to bribe the courts, they're never tried. Giving one of the most egregious examples, he said that years earlier, the Indian military ordered 100 fighter jets from overseas. By the time the money for it passed through the hands of all the politicians, India received TWO planes. I asked him why nobody went public with it, and he said, "Who do you think stole the money? All the people who could have gone public with it. Everyone here is corrupt at some level. Everyone. We have nothing to fight Pakistan with, and that will only become obvious once they destroy us in a very short war." Of course, that's just one man's story, and who knows his motivation for sharing it. But if even 1/4 of what he told me is true, I fear for India.

GG Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 He’s assuming that Pakistan isn’t equally corrupt. Civil and political corruption does not equate to military might and capability. In all those, India surpasses Pakistan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how strict they are; however, I'd be surprised if it were as open and widespread as India. I hope I never find out the answer to the military question in my lifetime.
