India - Pakistan Conflict 2025

[Jacob]

India is reacting strongly to the recent attacks in Kashmir, apparently blaming Pakistan. They're reportedly pausing the Indus Water Cooperation  treaty, closing the Attari-Wagah border crossing, closing the border to Pakistani nationals, and expelling embassy staff.

How far will this escalate?

How will it interplay with all the other geo-politial excitement we're seeing these days?

India has expelled all Pakistanis and they have to leave by next Tuesday.

Jesus Christ. That seems like quite an escalation. Or does India and Pakistan do this kind of thing regularly?

How many people are we talking about here?  Because of the massive size of each country's populations I had initially thought it must be an incredibly high number of people, but now I wonder if it's not!?  Maybe in the thousands?

People were worried about America falling apart as a green light for China to start messing around, but everyone always forgets about India. Once again I blame the Beatles.

Get back! Get back! Get back Pakistanis to where they once belonged

[HVC]

I will not let this be!

I was just recently listening to Lex Fridman podcast with Modi.  For most of the conversation Modi was sounding infinitely wise, which almost any politically savvy leader is capable of doing when having a long conversation with a soft-ball throwing dilettante.  However, when it came to Pakistan, he couldn't hide his disdain for the country, the dignified wise man mask slipped.

Expulsion, I don't know.  Shooting at each other, yes.

I've not seen this mentioned in any of the reports I've read. Do you have a link?

I have read that both countries have expelled some (maybe all - unclear) diplomats, that India has ordered all of its citizens to return from Pakistan and that Pakistan has withdrawn all visas for Indians and closed the border.

The water agreement has never been suspended, not even during full blown wars. It's incredibly esclatory.

I read it on German news. Here is an Indian source:

China is the interesting wild card in this I'd say. They are increasingly close with Pakistan and this could really push the two closer.
They have some claims on India but I'd imagine this is a distraction they could do without at the moment whilst their focus is on the sea.
