Its all been kicking off since a terrorist attack killed a load of indian soldiers and india have decided they're sick of the pakistani government supposedly providing support for/not cracking down on the terrorists. Its probably all about water though

here is the suicide bomber

quote:

With tensions rising between India and Pakistan in the wake of a deadly terrorist attack earlier this month that killed more than 40 Indian police officers in Kashmir, New Delhi has decided to retaliate in part by cutting off some river water that flows downstream to Pakistan. The decision to build a dam on the Ravi River, whose waters are allocated to India by treaty but a portion of which had been allowed to flow through to Pakistan, adds an extra source of conflict between two nuclear-armed neighbors that have repeatedly clashed over the disputed Kashmir territory.

my understanding is that kashmir is basically being stripped of all autonomy and self-determination in the name of settler colonialism and the attendant cultural genocide

this is good if you're a hindu nationalist (like most modi supporters)

this is bad if you're kashmiri/muslim, dislike authoritarianism, or also if you dislike the prospect of a possibly-nuclear war between india and pakistan

wonder why they decided to just fuckin go for it now of all times. because the election is over i guess?

The economy is in the shitter

If India and Pakistan did decide to lob nukes at each other would the rest of the world just wait until it was over?

also never thought about this/saw this pointed out before. just people pointing out that we had already done a fuckton of atomosphere tests, but those were done on islands in the pacific, not cities full of stuff to burn

Nuclear war is back baby. It's good again. Awoouu (wolf Howl)

No that parts only temporary

thats just from the dust and soot in the sky. once you factor in the billions of people dead it'll probably slow global warming down quite a bit

Yeah but we're already locked in for like 2C of warming and now there's no ozone

we're locked in at current rates aren't we? meaning the sudden loss of 2 billion people and the 3rd biggest polluter are going to cause a noticeable difference and I feel death on that sort of scale might actually cause some major global change

but really if we're talking about nuking countries to get out of climate change the US and europe come first
