India - Pakistan Conflict 2025

[Legbiter]

Another 'chance' for Deus Ex to get a prediction right. Too bad it's this one

This happens every few years. India bombed Pakistan in 2016 and in 2019 (one pilot was shot down). Pakistan really ramped up support for terrorists once it acquired nukes.

I think suspending the Indus Water Treaty is huge - I think India and Pakistan have literally been fighting wars and the treaty's still operated.

Can't help but wonder if it's a sign of things to come though with resource and water power in a climate driven age?

Semi-related but a while ago I listened to a podcast - can't remember which recently - which was about the sensitivities of international river management particularly Mekong. It was more around politics of water management and hydropower - really interesting.

Looks like India is bailing Israel out.  Surely everyone in the West will switch to condemning India once it attacks Pakistan?

We just buried the other thread, you want to make a new one so quickly?

Oh please let's have months of this stupid conversation.

A bold endorsement of Trump's stance on how to handle differing opinions on this issue.

Hey man if you have something new, we can talk about it.

But another endless round of how everybody is a hypocrite for some reason seems very tedious.

If given the choice I'd have left the thread alone. Let people show their true selves and what not. I even worried that it'd spread to other threads again. But what done is done. A decision was made and it should be honoured. So with that I'll leave the topic alone.

Let's not but it would make an interesting study.

[crazy canuck]

That is an interesting thought. Will we collectively learn the lesson of how to discuss a contentious issue without it turning into the dumpster fire that thread became?

I don't know.

A rumour I read today on a Ukraine account.
Pakistan is desperately scrabbling about trying to buy artillery shells as they only have enough for 4 days of war.
This is because they needed the money and sold most of their stocks to the Czechs.
Interesting when the inter-connectedness of everything shows itself like so.

[Sheilbh]

Another unrelated thing but a sign of inter-connectedness is Pakistan was absolutely fucked by the Ukraine invasion. They rely really, really heavily on LNG and for a number of reasons have not gone for long-term supply contracts - they trade on the spots market. So in the last few years (but especially 2022) as Russian gas turned off for Europe and Europe suddenly waded into the LNG market they were able to pay massively more than Pakistan. There were tankers literally en route from the Gulf who turned around to head to Europe instead.

It caused huge energy and social problems in Pakistan - I think it was generally a sudden new massive participant in a market that previously had been dominated by Asian countries but I think Pakistan was particularly exposed because of its lack of long-term supply agreements.
