India and Pakistan both said they shot down each other’s fighter jets on Wednesday, with Pakistan capturing an Indian pilot a day after Indian warplanes struck inside Pakistan for the first time since a 1971 war, prompting world powers to urge restraint.

Maybe if we’re lucky, all the Indians and Pakis will return home to defend their homeland!

Good, let them kill each other off in the petty tribal violence. Send Indians here in America home to help. End H1B now!

Pakistan where Muslim fundamentalism reigns vs India where Hindu nationalism leads in the government, will continue to make it harder to calm the situation; feelings and sentiments are rising above reason.

I sincerely see all of it as stemming from Pakistan’s giant size inferiority complex. Its leaders, historically and now, keep trying to offset that inferiority complex with national bravado. There is no other reason why little Pakistan would think it needs to keep poking the giant next to it.

3rd worlders with nukes, what could go wrong. Don’t be fooled, India has a rather low median IQ. There’s just so damned many of them there’s a sizable number of outliers.
