China + Pakistan vs. USA + India

Pretty even on population, but India's gonna have more munitions. Or they would if the US wasn't busy fighting the mighty Tren de Aragua

Pakistan claiming they shot down several Indian jets with their Chinese-made fighters.  Probably full of shit, but the whole thing is pretty wild. It escalated so damned fast, and we now have drones fully in the mix.

It’s a preview of the upcoming water wars in Texas.  

All the people who are usually right have been ringing this alarm for years. (the looming water scarcity crisis, that is)

I as in India many years back and got caught in a street riot/protest over water rights within India.  Nothing too violent, but they were rocking the car, shouting, etc.

Because they do such a bang up job with the resources that they have today

I wouldn’t start throwing stones at how other countries take care of their precious resources, especially overpopulated second and third world countries.  Neither should China or Russia, for that matter 

LOL did you google "polluted river" and post it as evidence that they don't actually care about water?

Might want to check your notes on who is the biggest supplier to the Indian military. That country is a little tied up with their own war at the moment.

Oh I guess they're gonna be on India's side, too. But yes they are also tied up at the moment.

You're right, the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in India are just great for taking a quit dip in

When I visited India years ago, I woke up one morning to an armored bus marked “RIOT POLICE” sitting across the street. That freaked me the fuck out. A riot seemed plausible. Indian streets are a constant buzz of noise and chaos, so it was hard to distinguish between the everyday sound of India and a riot.

Turns out it was nothing - the shack across the street was the equivalent of a donut shop. So of course the cops drove the fucking riot bus there to grab a bite.

For all the bluster, India is NOT going to do away with the Indus Waters Treaty. That would all but gaurantee a full on hot war with nuclear threat-- Russia and the US won't let it get that far. China might keep prodding Pakistan up that escalation ladder, but I'm not worried about it (I know I know, famous last words).

Estimates are that the Indus water irrigates like 80%+ of Pakistan's crops and secondly reports are that India doesn't even have the technical abilities to divert the waters anyways (yet).

India has cancelled quite a bit of their orders.

And China was kind to Pakistan on the aviation sale. They want their Silk Road investments protected.

Second World countries is not really a thing anymore.  Second world countries did not fall between 1st and 3rd world countries based upon wealth or GDP.  It was a Cold War construct - 2nd world countries included the Soviet Union and the communist bloc.

Yes, it does. And India can divert more than they currently do. Any hit messes up Pakistan.

Isn't that the worldwide case?

This is why countries want nukes. I don't imagine a nuke having country will ever again be invaded. Ukraine sure wishes they hadn't disposed of their nukes.

This.  The current geopolitical environment has done more to incentivize nuclear proliferation than any sequence since the hottest years of the Cold War.  At this point, any country even remotely capable of obtaining/developing a nuke would be foolish not to.

Sure, but on the whole, they don't have the infrastructure to really divert the waters and cripple Pakistan, which is what you'd need to do in short order (a swift, fatal blow) versus a slow, tortured process of diversion which would allow Pakistan to rally a) world sympathy (millions of innocent people affected by the lack of water) and b) Pakistan/China escalated response which would be bad for everyone.

You are dealing with religious nationalists on both sides.

And now India can build any water storage systems it wants without violating the treaty or Pakistani input.

I spent the worst year of my life in Karachi.  
 

China has little reason to want actual escalation and many reasons not to; they are delighted to get some data on how well their systems work against a fighting opponent but zero reason to want an actual war. The United States also has zero interest in this spiraling. 
 

And while miscalculation and face-saving can lead to some bad outcomes, both India and Pakistan are calibrating here in rhetoric and action.  I still thing a slow wind-down is most likely.

No, it was a reference to a crappy 70s movie. There were a few of them that came out around the same time. I was really young and I even thought at the time that they were pretty bad.

What is this, the Ministry of Silly Walks?

So, anybody hear much about this alleged massive "dog fight" between India and Pakistan? Several sources reported on it yesterday, but then nothing since. Almost like nobody is sure it actually happened.
