Water treaty suspension, firing across the LOC, sabre-rattling and such.

Not a big deal....just 2 nuclear armed neighbors who hate each other on the brink of war. Why would the US media cover that?

(5,607 posts)He made a bizarre comment that the conflict has been going on for thousands of years. News to me and probably India and Pakistan.
Of course no one in the MSM called him out or is saying this shows signs of mental decline.

(2,028 posts)I dont know how 78 years (since India and Pakistan became independent nations) became 1,500 years. Whats really pathetic and sad is that this isnt even his first time managing this conflict. It flared up during his first term. Clearly the man just isnt there.
I wonder, does he just pick some random number out of his ass or is he conflating this conflict with the Israeli/palestinian conflict?
Even that conflict is about the same age, since Israel and India gained independence around the same time.

Those two countries could wage a nuclear war against each other,
which, even if it was contained between those two countries alone,
could make one hell of an ecological mess which we obviously do not need...
Hey, we better send in TRUMP, he'll "fix things".... right?

Vance is gleefully setting up House in the Naval Observatory cheering on the death of Democracy.
I'm thinking Vance, or Bowman, or whatever his name is, is a shadow person for a mogwai or other soul sucking denizen of an alternate reality.
While it is true that everything *rump touches dies, it is also true that Vance carries a nihilistic miasma with him.
