I am not sure that either of them actually has a reliable nuclear threat. I wouldn’t bet Islamabad on it though. India has far more experience launching payloads, a very low bar, but still that makes India a much more creditable nuclear power.

What could go wrong?

Two nations with nuclear capabilities and long standing enmities going at it.....and one side believes in re-incarnation.

I kept one on the line for 2 hours. It was funny just messing with them.

I’ll bet you can’t find a plate of pork vindaloo anywhere in Pakistan.

You can get beef vindaloo. Bring your own lager. It's the only thing that will kill a vindaloo...

Red Dwarf Ping!

Their shared MAD abilities will either keep any military exchange as conventional, small and limited or deter even that. Besides, Pakistan can’t afford it and India, striving for the building of its economy, does not want any big expensive war.

Quality-of-cuisine is a bad predictor of military success ...

if that were the case, we’d all be speaking French or Italian now, not English

Yep. Britain conquered the world only because they were looking for a good meal.

Do you dare doubt me?

Look where they ended up.

India and China!

Those “Windows Help Desk” calls are hilarious. I can string them along for 10-15 mins, and soon they took me off their list, since I wasted so much of their callers’ time.

Yeah, but they didn't read the fine print.

If your present life is spent in an "unconscious" state, or a state of conflict, as in just being an all around bad person, then the chances of your coming back as a tick on a cows ass is increased substantially.

At least, this is how a disillusioned Indian Army officer explained it to me.

But life in India is cheap.

Very cheap, and the same goes for Pakistan.

The powers that be probably wouldn't think twice at a projected collateral loss of life in the upper millions for a nuclear conflict.

Believe me, the Paki's will not hesitate to fling nukes and the Indians will not hesitate to retaliate in kind.

As far as the US...we should just stand back and let it go, then, after an "acceptable" passing of time (half life of the radioactivity taken into account, also), we just go in and take all the natural resources and other things we need and forget them.

Avoiding, of course, the huge amount of ticks and cockroaches on both sides.

I don’t care if they wipe each other out, as long as Trump doesn’t throw us in.

The fewer saracens in the world, the better it is for all of us.

I can usually pull them along for ten minutes at a time.
I mention the “crank out lever” on my windows being defective and that usually wraps up the call.

Pakistan can be eviscerated with only two nuclear strikes.

What a different world we would live in if we had let Saddam go all the way to Riyadh in 1990.

Can’t they just have a nice Cricket Test Match and decide everything there?

A war between India and Pakistan would go a long way towards restoring America’s middle class; we have no cultural connection to either of these places.
