  Agree. This has been coming for some time and the idea that two nuclear armed adversaries are shooting at each other should be front page, not douchebag Michael Cohen. I used to respect Mueller but file your report or give it up.

  There’s a population of close to 1.6 billion in both countries combined if this escalates there could be a real mass extinction.

  They've hated each other for as long as I can remember but I think cooler heads will eventually prevail.

  I recall back when I was a kid they were at war but it always seems to calm down --from memory the real fear is that China could get dragged into it as well.

  This goes back to 1947 and the British Raj, ordered the separation to divide the Muslim minority in the Punjab, from the majority Hindu India Bangladesh was also involved India and Pakistan have fought several major wars but since the development of a Pakistani nuclear weapon have been forced into a difficult truce.

  Do we know they have nukes ? Or do they just claim to ?

  This is a classic example of a permanent “Mexican Stand-off”.
  
  Just like the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 when the Soviet Union and the United States has a “nuclear confrontation” during the Cold War, nothing is going to happen.
  
  We can continue complaining endlessly about everything and anything.

  Well, if they do then I agree with CJ. ( Did I just say that ? ) The two countries are next to each other. No one is stupid enough to nuke the country next door to them. Especially if that country has the nukes also.

  The problem us Kashmir. It's majority Muslim do Pakistan claims it, but the majority of the populace prefers India. When the area was partitioned the issue, the issue was kicked down the road. Comparable issues would be The Korean armistice; Syrian Israel armistice and social security. All ticking time bombs.

  I did what I can, and voted for reasonable leaders that are the least likely to destroy us all. If one takes that to mean I’m a Dem, fine. If one thinks that I’m a Conservative, that’s fine too.

  Democrats are reasonable leaders because except for Kosovo; Viet Nam; Korean Conflict; WW2; and WW1 they haven't been in charge of the country at any time in the last 100 years for all the other wars we've been invoved in.
