Doesn't India and Pakistan have a history of ratcheting tensions way the gently caress up, then escalating after a while? I thought that some people last year were worried about a potential war between the two

Willo567 posted:Doesn't India and Pakistan have a history of ratcheting tensions way the gently caress up, then escalating after a while? Yes, but... Modi, the PM of India has been under extended pressure because of failing to live up to his promises and forecasts aren't good for him/his party in the upcoming elections. Because of his extremism, he was previously banned from a number of countries, until the US, until becoming PM and being able to travel on a diplomatic passport. Also there's still a lot of outrage at Pakistan because of the Mumbai attack, and violence against Muslims in India has been on the increase since Modi's party got into power. So he'll likely try and push things more, to use it for political capital. China will be the only significant influence on calming things down, though Indian social media/extremist news pundits have an ongoing belief that China secretly has an alliance with Pakistan. Obvs. a competent US president and state department could help here, but trump will throw a temper tantrum for them distracting from his 'moment of triumph' and probably say something racist. So could continue to escalate, or could go as before, but india and Pakistan haven't exchanged shots since I think the Kargil war in '99, so we could see a repeat of that, or something similar but broader and involving more armoured and air assets. All until China and/or the UN get any traction in calming it down, though Modi will want a 'win' he can trumpet domestically. PST fucked around with this message at 12:25 on Feb 27, 2019 |

I'm ignorant about why this is coming up so often. We're all pretty sure this happened, but I missed the memo on the illegality/impropriety of it all. Please note that I don't think this ISN'T a big deal or that it was lovely, I just don't get the rest of it. cr0y posted:Michael Cohen will testify that Trump knew Roger Stone talked with WikiLeaks about DNC email dump

Trump has made a huge deal (and even submitted in writing to Mueller) that this did NOT occur. On the record testimony to the opposite effect is damning, even if we all already knew.

In my opinion the one major thing that we all have been grasping for is determining what trump himself did and did not know. If trump was fully on board with stone/WL then the entire "collusion with russia" starts to come much more into focus.

So a specific unclear thing from this now is: what was the quid pro quo for the collusion - just the Trump Tower thing in Moscow or something more insidious.

Putin put trump in power with the promise to bail out all his failed financial investments in exchange for being a sock puppet. I dont think it has to be more complicated than that.

That's the first one I've seen where the artist seemed to actually try to capture the subject.
