Trouble in Jammu & Kashmir

[The New California Republic]

Little trooper is taking after his forebears. *Sniff*

He's finished Gunboat Diplomacy class and is already starting Divide & Conqour 101, the only sad thing is that...how is he supposed to annex other people's tea when he already grows more tea than he'll ever need??

Plenty of cashmere wool for them to take.

Pakistan itself will not be waging war on India over Kashmir, at least not intentionally. But you can bet the various Jihadist networks that operate in Kashmir are going to ramp up their militancy with Pakistan giving them more leeway to act and Kashmiri's likely to more supportive now due to India's actions.

I won't be surprised if Kashmir becomes a magnet for International Jihadism as well given the collapse of other fronts and Kashmir being a globally known issue.

And of course the US, Russia, and China will obviously get involved too. A brand new Syria/Iraq?

Kashmir is as bad as Syria and Iraq already, Pakistani terrorism is rampant

The stupid thing about Kashmir is that Pakistan is the only country in the region that is "in the right" with this one specific situation of ownership, and they're government is still a bunch of raving idiots.

Since the 1970s mullahs have been really controlling Pakistan's politicians which included the ban on ahmadis calling themselves Muslims. Mullahs definitely are influencing the president.

Not the Mullahs, the military, Imran Khan is a smart person, I doubt he is acting in his own will rn

They were nationalized with India when their Prince signed the treaty of annexation.

That's not was that word means.

Was Bikini Atoll Ethnic Cleasing I don't think so. If it makes you feel better instead of moving in more behaved residents we could use the area for nuclear testing like with Bikini. I imagine an irradiated area would be difficult for extremist to cross through.

So you are just having a laugh. That was a stupid waste of time.

I am just saying there are plenty of reasons to nationalize land without it being genocide.

Kashmir independence would be the most ideal solution

Lol I think that ship has sailed

Oh yes no doubt, especially China and the United States. China would seem to have more to gain in backing Pakistan as a tool of weakening India (although their own claims on Kashmir complicate things) while the United States is in a more tricky position giving its historical ties with Pakistan.

Not quite Syria/Iraq as I very much doubt we will see state collapse and full scale civil war, but I think that Kashmir could see an influx of foriegn militants given its high profile status and lack of other fronts to attract them. I won't be surprised to see an IS affiliate spring up in Kashmir (either under IS Khorasan or a separate Wilayah) but they will likely be very peripheral actors as Kashmir's Jihadi landscape is already dominated by several well entrenched organisations with strong ties to Pakistan.

The stupid thing about Kashmir is that Pakistan is the only country in the region that is "in the right" with this one specific situation of ownership, and they're government is still a bunch of raving idiots.

Pakistan's politics are really complicated and controlled by numerous moving parts and cliques. The Islamisation of Pakistan government and society was a result of Zia al Huq's infuence in the 1970's and 1980s who was politically close many Deobandi, ahl e Hadith and Jamaati Islami organisations and help bring them into power and influence. They certianly influence government decision making but are also depedant on the government for access to political power and patronage as well. It's complicated.

The only way Kashmiri Pandits can return to Kashmir without facing prosecution is through a Dogra restoration

Pakistani protestors confront BJP official in Seoul

Pakistanis mob up outside of Indian High Commission in UK on independence day

Indian independence day celebrations in London interrupted by Pakistanis throwing bottles and eggs at police officers

Imran Khan on damage control after UN disses him and he slips up and admits the Balakot Attacks happened, an event which Pakistan officially denies

And my favorite, when you look up “bhikhari” (beggar in Hindi/Urdu) on google, it shows Imran Khan

Pakistan is completely unhinged

It’s clear Pakistan is starting to realize that revoking article 370 will allow Kashmiri Pandits to return, so they resort to petty things like egging police officers at independence day celebrations

That and Imran Khan admitting Balakot happened, which is something the government of Pakistan officially denies. This would be akin to Xi Jinping recognizing “Taiwan” as a country

I don't think Pakistan actually gives two shits about the what the Pandits do as opposed to the fact that revoking article 370 is increasing tensions and the threat of war between the two nations.

Pakistan has never denied India bombing Pakistan. It's what they bombed that's up for debate. That and Balakot has none of the same weight as Taiwan.

Can't we just have Kashmir become it's own nation smh

Allowing Kashmiri Pandits to return to their home is a good thing isn’t it?

Risking escalating the war in Kashmir and cracking down on the Kasmiri people isn't.

Kashmiri Pandits aren’t Kashmiri people?

Asking if the Kashmiri Pandits returning home is a good thing is irrelevant to the topic because India doesn't give a fuck about them either. None of this is about that Pandits because they are just being used as a justification for a brutal crackdown of Kashmir and the destruction of the region for the sole benefit of India.

[Samudera Darussalam]

There were riots in Srinagar, and Trump offered to mediate.

Oh well, let's look how this will end.

Trump? As mediator of the Kashmiri conflict? Oh dear.
