No saying India makes billions of dollars via American trade so they have to help us with Pakistan.... this won't end well.

It's you. You're the "well did you know George Washington owned slaves?!" guy at parties. Do you go around on Columbus Day reminding people that Christopher Columbus was in fact not good?

I actually love doing this because I can name all the specific atrocities he committed and turn it into an interesting story while high out of my mind and putting glowsticks on everyone there, including the pets.

So, I'll keep this short, that small speech has just made the chance of nuclear war between Pakistan and India about 10x more likely, and my god, we've been trying to stop that from happening since 1998. Thanks Trump & advisors, you're loving retards.

Can't be a nuclear war with North Korea, if India and Pakistan start one first. Makes you think.

And it all goes back to Obama. Trump must remember (or is being reminded by his military advisors) that Obama "didnt ilsten to his generals about Afghanistan" (McChrystal is a huge reason we got the "Obama disrespected his generals/the military!" bullshit all of those years). This is all about pushing the conflict that Obama "pussied out on".
