ICTChris Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Two massive countries with huge armies and nuclear weapons getting lairy - what could go wrong? Militants in Kashmir killed dozens of Indian policeman, India blamed Pakistan for hosting the militant training camps and have followed up with airstrikes across the Kashmiri line of control. Pakistan now say they have shot down two Indian jets. Who are P&Bers backing in the conflict? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Doesn't help that India's got a general election coming up. The whole of Kashmir should have been made independent decades ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty dingus Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The Pakistanis have the Chinese in reserve and India are hoping the USofA will be behind me, neither of these superpowers are renowned for their cricket prowess so this match could get messy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieson87 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Khan has now confirmed that Pakistan has captured two pilots. (India confirm only one) The ball is now firmly in Modhi's court. This is a huge propaganda win for Pakistan, this should lead to a de escalation. However, Modi will be under a huge amount of pressure for this not to appear as a Pakistan "win". Be interesting to see how this plays out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit worrying that there's no one left in the State Department to calm both sides down with threats and bribes. Both sides need to appear feisty with Uncle Sam holding them back. Hopefully China can step up to the plate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
