BBC ^ | BBC

Indian forces have attacked Pakistan with missiles in three locations, Pakistan’s military spokesman is quoted by the country’s state TV as saying.

There are also reports of intense shelling and loud explosions in border areas of the Pakistan-administered state of Kashmir, according to Reuters news agency.

Relations between India and Pakistan have declined sharply following a deadly militant attack on tourists in Kashmir last month. India accuses Pakistan of backing cross-border terrorism - a charge Islamabad flatly denies.

Pakistan vows to respond to ‘cowardly attack’

A spokesperson for Pakistan’s military says Islamabad “will respond to this [attack] at a time and place of its choosing”.

“All of our air force jets are airborne. This is a shameful and cowardly attack that was carried our from within India’s airspace,” the spokesman adds.

I have heard people say for decades that this is where the first use of nuclear weapons will take place.

I love your tagline. That’s a quote I’ve never read before. I may have to borrow it :-)

Agreed. A real border conflict could definitely escalate due to bad blood alone. I don’t want to see it.

Can’t help but think this could have been avoided had the British not partitioned the subcontinent. It should have all been India. Some will probably disagree though.

Here is where the first nuclear bombs used in combat may occur and soon if escalation occurs. A lot of bad blood between them to sort through before any stand down occurs.
If it happens, lots of countries besides India and Pakistan will be studying to see which of the two’s philosophy on nuclear weapon strategy was more effective in actual atomic war. Bomb numbers vs delivery means and how well are they maintained to actually work when fired. All that. Plus bluffing first?

I have never been able to understand how Orwell could have been a socialist, as he purportedly was.

All I can think of is that he never made that connection that:

Economic Freedom and Political Freedom are inextricably intertwined. You cannot have one without the other.

It has been a real puzzle for me for many years.

This took longer than I thought it would.

The ball is in the Pak’s court.

Nothing like watching two lunatics with nukes slapping at each other.

RE: India embarking to fight the Muslims....

Lord Ganesha, the Lord of Beginnings, is the Hindu deity to pray to before starting any new venture. He is revered as the remover of obstacles and the bringer of success.

Paramahansa Yogananda said, “Don’t behave like a cringing mortal being. You are a child of God!”
and
“Affirm, even in the midst of trials: “Danger and I were born together, and I am more dangerous than danger!” “
