India and Pakistan going at it!

[gypsyman]

 Lots of hot spots in the world, and one just got lit up. Seems Pakistan has some trouble makers there, so India just fired some rockets into that country, and said, they just targeted the terrorist area's. Both country's have nuke's, so we'll see how this turns out.

Let'em fight.

Let'em fight.

Uh-HUH!  And when the dust settles (here in the U.S.), it'll have elevated radiation readings from the fallout.  You want THAT in your backyard?

Some folks just don't think things through.

Yeah, your right. Send some more United States troops over there to get in the middle and fight someone else's war. They're expendables and we can always grow some more. Afterall, we are the worlds policeman.

India and Pakistan have been fighting for over a hundred years. LET'EM FIGHT!

Some folks dont think, and believe the United States belongs in everyone elses business.

I spent my time in Vietnam and saw our boys go through a lot of atrocities and heartache. Seen many wounded and some who never made it back. All the time I feel we didn't accomplish a damn thing. Keep the U.S. out of it and let them kill each other.

You....ummm.....care to show me where I said that?   Oh, yeah....I didn't.....you ASSUMED I meant it that way.

you just stated the truth. this could easily elevate to the point one side or both use nukes. in that case its certainly our business and the business of every place on earth. trump hasnt threatened to send troops but sure as crap is involved in trying to stop it and it would be insanity not to do EVERYTHING he can to do so!

Well, perhaps I misunderstood you. But as I understand the situation, Pakistan attacked India, so India is responding. Is it not?

[Goldie]

Well I don't see Trump making any headway with Putin at the moment so what and how he can do anything with these two rag headed countries that's been fighting for years seems futile.

yup it feels like the ball is rolling and a BIG war is inevitable.

Nor do I. I'm 75 years old and we've had some kind of shooting war going on my entire life. All of which, we lost with thousands of our young men killed or maimed. When will we learn to stay out of other countries business? Politicians don't fight wars. They start'em.
We now allegedly have a mineral deal with one of the most corrupt mini countries in the world (Ukraine). What happens when Putin attacks the area where we have our agreement?
We have troops and bases all over Europe, to protect Europe.
I'm all in protecting our borders, and our country, but im not gonna worry about these endless conflicts all over the world. We need  to back off, and let'em settle their own affairs.

For the record.....I side with you......the U.S. should in no way intervene with the exception of attempting to be a mediator to prevent cataclysmic escalation.  And even then, it should be as a member of a consortium of concerned nations.  (No, not the useless U.N.)

Now, the way I interpreted what we get off the  news sources here, the initial instance wasn't so much of an "attack", as some sort of disagreement in a given area.  But then, that info is tainted by our "news" sources.

Either way, it shows lack of restraint by the "leaders" of two countries that have hated each other for generations, and shouldn't have EVER gotten access to nuclear weapons.

Let's all hope that somewhere over there, cooler heads prevail before they contaminate the entire globe.
