Pakistan has like no money and the Taliban have been notably pissy with the Pakistani leadership, so i don't understand the certainty of this. open war between nuclear armed states beyond minor skirmishes is historically unprecedented. if this escalates beyond that, admittedly not likely, we are in extremely dangerous territory

It'll be border skirmishes and that's it, because anything else will bankrupt them. I'd really prefer if we also leaned on India to get them to knock it off but I don't know if anyone wants to try that. I heard that Pakistan is looking to get a vote in front of the security council, which I kinda assume will pass without issue.

I am not trying to be smug or whatever, its just that seeing people respond to a fascist clamp down in a persecuted region of another country primarily with essentially "wait, this one could potentially affect me!" feels kinda lovely imo

Thats exactly whats going on though, otherwise people wouldnt give so much time to a scenario as unlikely as a nuclear war between neighboring countries with a huge population disparity Its the same sort of self-centered alarmist perspective that features in discussions of north korea or iran getting the bomb
