The real question: Who do we root for?

I'd set off a few bombs and make them think the other side did it.

I suspect Pakistan is doing a fake attack so the USA will go back to sending them $$$.

Our government gives money to both countries monthly so a long drawn out slow a grinding attrition that’s what I’m rooting for

Seems to me we tried that sort of thing before in the middle east, in various ways. Such as propping up Afghanistan to defy the Soviets (which pretty much worked but ended up backfiring on us) or propping up Saddam to counter Iran (mostly worked but ended up backfiring on us.)

There’s a lot of leftover Russian ordnance laying around. Could it explode?

Pakistan would seem to have the upper hand. The Afghans are a backward people.

Everything backfires in the Middle East. The Romans couldn’t pacify it and they crucified rebels. Build a fence around it . Cut off all contact. It’s a barbarism.

As an aside, if jorge busho was telling the truth and iSlime is a religion of peace, then how come these countries are fighting?

(Rhetorical. We all know a) jorge's a turncoat, backstabbing liar and b) iSlime is a murderous death cult.)

That's not nearly enough. And the Afghans need to kill more Pakis in return. A lot, lot more.
