A fighter jet is just a glorified missile platform. All they have to do is get a target lock and let it fly to do their job. Using ancient Soviet jets is a cost effective solution for developing countries. Obviously that changes if the Migs start falling apart, but that's what ejector seats are for.

will there be hd footage? I think the emp effects would preclude filming them.

The EMP impact of a nuclear weapon is vastly overstated. You could film it with just minor shielding. The bigger problem is how you're going to deal with the blinding flash.

That's the short of it right now. Pakistan keeps humiliating India even when they retaliate, so they need something India can call a win.

sometimes it seems like all of history just ends up being about a contest of strength. It's easy for posters like me to complain about human rights abuses and democracy and stuff but I kinda get where tankies are coming from. Your enemies will have no mercy so why should you?

So basically, should I just shed all of my ideology and get super into Indian nationalism, or Pakistani nationalism, or I guess Chinese nationalism?I'm open minded if anyone has better ideas.

Pretty stunning that an incumbent government got re-elected with an even larger majority under those conditions under their rule. Doesn't seem India's going anywhere good

It's incredible that they got punked by Pakistan and backed down from a war that all their CHUD fanbase desperately wanted, and still pick up more seats in the aftermath. I guess controlling social media is really all you need.

i know that expats and immigrants have a major disconnect between the politics of their old country and their new one, but it's still stark with indian-americans because they're the most dem-friendly Asian electorate. although considering how many of them trend in white collar professions i shouldn't be

what i'm getting at is that many indian-americans would never vote for an american version of Modi but they love the one in the old country

Yeah I get it. I'm guessing that the disconnect arises for several reasons. That national politics of the home country are "exceptional" to America's, or that to be an American you need to observe our "constitutional values" like disestablishmentarianism but that doesn't apply to the home country. Or that having a strong man in power in the home country who will make the nation strong is good, but having a strong man in power in the US is bad because I guess America is already strong?

Nationalist sentiment just ends up throwing all logic out the window because it works on peoples' sense of pride and power, but if they start thinking about what it means for themselves as "free people" and American citizens then it doesn't sound so great.

nah, America is trying to align with India in a effort to build a bulwark around China, which is why the western media has been respectful of the Indian government rampaging through Kashmir, shutting down telecommunications, and arresting local political leaders.
