It will not be difficult for people to just hop across a country into China from another country, especially if the country they're going through decides it's for the best if they don't settle down there and give them a boost to keep them moving People have been fleeing across the Mediterranean in boats made from scrapwood for the better part of decade, terrain means nothing. Every single country in the region is gonna get people entering it.

I hope if they're gonna nuke each other they do it sooner than later because I don't want the nukes flying while my friend and her family are back in Pakistan during summer for her sister's engagement.

It's not that it's inaccurate, manufacturing shortfalls had a big impact on on people's day to day lives and how countries fought each other during those wars, it's just that when it comes to fighting a war the elites don't really care how much suckier life becomes for the proles

So you're telling me nukes aren't even good for combating global warming!? What the hell are they even good for, then?!!!? Do hope this blows over within a week, though. I do not like sweating when I read world news.

That's it. Once you're a nuclear power you cannot afford to use your arsenal, but nobody can afford to gently caress with you. It's probably why this won't go much further than some heavy crossfire on the LOC tbqh.

also, because this is SENA we're talking about, Indian authorities are trying to get Pakistan kicked out of the upcoming Cricket World Cup because of all this, or at the bare minimum force India to forfeit their scheduled game against Pakistan. never mind that this game is taking place in England, or that hundreds of thousands of people have applied for the ticket lottery strictly for that match: they know that cricket diplomacy is especially big when Pakistan's current PM just so happens to be one of their greatest cricketers.

My takeaway from the Sleepwalkers was that in the planning for a continental war pre-WW1, France had figured out that events in the Balkans were a likely source of conflict between Russia and Germany, and they were totally fine with tying themselves into this largely because they (especially Poincaré) wanted revenge on the Germans for 1870. There, many people thought it was better to have a war on that moment than wait for another few years. Poincaré because he wa about to be voted out and the germans because they thought the Russians would be too strong a few years down the road. I hope there's no similar calculus at play where the decision makers think they're in a good enough position now as opposed to when they're out of water and forced to act. Anyway there's my caffeine fueled pseudointellogent analysis of an evolving geopolitical and military situation which I am definitely capable of comprehending because I read The Sleepwalkers. Tromp
