both countries are run by religious nuts. It's going to be extremely hard believing any of their claims.

- US/Canada,Greenland (threats) ✅️
- India/Pakistan ✅️
Congratulations, diagnostics complete.
Results: CRITICAL ERROR, SYSTEM FAILURE, SHUTTING DOWN SIMULATION.EXE
Rwanda conducting border incursion and I am pretty sure occupying a major city in DRC
Judging from history, this is probably what the simulation is for. There hasn't been a single day in many thousands of years of recorded history without overlapping armed conflicts. You'd probably have to read cuneiform or so to find one.
Hold on, Morocco and Algeria isn't happening yet, same with Turkey and Syria or China and Taiwan.
give it a minute
I didn't have an India/Pakistan war on my bingo ca...oh, wait, yeah, it's always been there in that corner. Great.
Missing Taiwan for bingo, no?
Well if you were on the fence about this Trump's dog in the race is Pakistan.
India supplies weapons to Russia. Both are Putin's bitches.
Russia sends weapons to India, not the other way around. India is not a major weapons exporter.
By this standard the US would be the biggest 'bitch' as it is the world's largest weapon supplier (followed by Russia and China).
I mean it supplies weapons to the Philippines as well, it's getting hard to track the bitchenomics at this rate.
Isn’t India withholding water from Pakistan? This might be a broken clock situation
No, there's nothing in place to actually do that at the moment. They've said they would, to which Pakistan offered nuclear fallout.
Of course beyond that it's a question of why they've finally decided to withhold water, at which point no, it's not a broken clock situation. The country that harbored bin Laden turns out to have an Islamist terrorist group funding habit.
they're both asshole countries what of it
India is increasingly nationalist but does not house terrorists (Osama Bin Laden being the most notable) and militant / terrorist groups are not given access to its intelligence network to destabilize regional geopolitics.
Pakistan had the West's and especially US goodwill until it became known that the government there was too closely tied to terrorist / militant groups.
If that's your takeaway of the relationship between the two countries and their well over a billion people, it's hardly like you'd be expected to care at all- so to you, nothing.
Maybe take Rwanda and the DRC- I'm sure you don't really care about the conflict between those countries either, but the millions of people who live there matter to themselves, as does the actual truth about the conflict and what drives it. It's so reductive and frankly vapid to just think, "oh asshole bad countries", as though that couldn't apply anywhere else, in any other conflict.
