You no sooner take a putative day off than two nuclear powers, Pakistan and India are at it, and then some. Maybe you've followed the story, which goes something like this. Pakistani Moslems went Jihad on Indian, Hindu, tourists in Kashmir. They killed quite a few, in a typical act of Moslem butchery.
India didn't like this and started bulldozing mosques, good call, take note Texas, and deporting Pakistanis. Sorry, Moslems, you've got to go. Pakistan didn't like this and has apparently closed its airspace to India. Not to be outdone, India's closed the Indus dam to Pakistan, cutting off the radical Moslem country's water. Here endeth a 1960s treaty.
Pakistan, understandably annoyed by this, has called India's Indus gambit an "act of war." In fairness, it probably is. That in mind, who would win the war? India is far larger and has an equivalently larger deployable force. Both countries have, for some reason, nuclear weapons. Result?
Right on the very brink. Move over, Ukraine, you're yesterday's money-laundering scheme, here's a new thing. Hopefully calm heads will prevail. But here's a thought, why should a single American life be lost to defend the sovereignty of either of these two countries.
You can see why we ruled them. Skinner v. Probyn, what? Guinea on the monkey India takes it, and twice as fast.

Didn't LL recently post about the Taliban having designs on Pakistan?
It's definitely a thing, WSF.
they have been at each other since the Brits created Pakistan in 1947. Ain't nothing new.
Yes, Anon, this is true.
Nope, nothing new. But it Could be a lot bigger problem, since they have nukes.
Moslem's living in 925AD forever, Thanks LSP, forever pithy!
My dear Justin, ain't that the case.
Savage, eh, Anon?
The Taliban has had designs on Pakistan since the Soviet invasion. Nothings changed over the years. After all, which country knew exactly where Bin Ladin was since pretty much months after Osama started being on the lam.
925? Try mid 600's. And the more radical the further to the origin date they get.
Gee, and here I thought Pakistan was created to reduce the issues between Islam (Pakistan) and the rest of the Indian subcontinent. How... unusual that giving muslims their own nation would result in issues....
Yes, Beans, this is true.
