AP report gives further details: https://apnews.com/article/pakistan-india-missiles-border-tensions-21a2859557179f2b32d6b8d5628ac853
AP reports: “India fired missiles across the border into Pakistani-controlled territory in at least three locations early Wednesday, killing a child and wounding two other people, Pakistani security officials said. The missiles early Wednesday struck locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the country’s eastern Punjab province, according to three Pakistani security officials. One of them struck a mosque in the city of Bahawalpur in Punjab, where a child was killed, and a woman and man were injured, one official said.”
This is stupid.
Everyone war in history was started by stupidity, ignorance, or narcissism.
Greed is another one
I know that this is an ongoing thing between these 2 countries, but it always makes me nervous when I remember that they both have a nuclear arsenal.
And they’ve had several hot wars since indepedence. Modhi is a Hindu nationalist leader so he’s going to stroke nationalistic themes when ever opportunities arise.
I get what you’re trying to say, and I agree too, I am anti-war, but all the wars between India and Pakistan were actually provoked by Pakistan. The Kargil War happened when both were nuclear armed in 1999, and nothing happened then. I doubt if anything will happen now either, apart from people dying. 8 civilians from Jammu died in retaliatory cross border firing, hopefully, it de-escalates after this. There was a similar situation in 2019, and war didn’t break out.
George Carlin called this… oh… 30 years ago?
“Ancient hatreds and modern weapons.”

“Philosophers have wondered for centuries: Why are we here? And I say, I’m here to see the show. So, let’s get busy with these wars. I’m very disappointed in all these peace things that are going on. They’re really letting me down. You take ancient hatreds and modern weapons and you got a nice recipe for some entertaining stuff. […] I’m only being partly facetious. If you scratch any cynic, you’ll find a disappointed idealist.”
Bingo card oh I’m so tired.
The Indian Embassy in Washington said in a statement that national security advisor Ajit Doval spoke with U.S. National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the strikes. The embassy said “India has credible leads, technical inputs, testimony of survivors” that point towards “the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in the attack.”
Ah, no better people to encourage fascists they’re in the right than other fascists
Well, shit.
Let’s fight terrorism with terrorism. That’ll work.
If you stand idly by when terror happens to you, you’ll end up like Ukraine. This is the world we live in.
Pakistan should know the far right Hindu in power are looking for any reason to escalate and they let the terror attack happen anyway.
So it wasn’t an empty claim after all.
Jesus shit. I shouldn’t be surprised, since India is supporting Russia and so many seem to overlook that.
