      If you stand idly by when terror happens to you, you’ll end up like Ukraine. This is the world we live in.

      Pakistan should know the far right Hindu in power are looking for any reason to escalate and they let the terror attack happen anyway.

    I know that this is an ongoing thing between these 2 countries, but it always makes me nervous when I remember that they both have a nuclear arsenal.

      And they’ve had several hot wars since indepedence. Modhi is a Hindu nationalist leader so he’s going to stroke nationalistic themes when ever opportunities arise.

        I get what you’re trying to say, and I agree too, I am anti-war, but all the wars between India and Pakistan were actually provoked by Pakistan. The Kargil War happened when both were nuclear armed in 1999, and nothing happened then. I doubt if anything will happen now either, apart from people dying. 8 civilians from Jammu died in retaliatory cross border firing, hopefully, it de-escalates after this. There was a similar situation in 2019, and war didn’t break out.
