Thank you very much and God bless you.

Did President Trump just prevent a nuclear war?

I have been saying we should just stay out if it, but this is better.

Waiting for a judge to say Trump had no right to mediate the conflict, and both India and Pakistan should resume fighting as soon as possible.

The two are always at each other’s throats. While they pitch their fits, it was never likely to go nuclear.

“...and both India and Pakistan should resume fighting as soon as possible.”


And there is precedent. Federal courts have, in effect, ordered the release of a Salvadoran citizen from a Salvadoran prison.

We’ll see how long this lasts.

This is an ancient and very deep feud that will be simmering despite a cease fire, which I suspect is temporary, something minor will likely trigger the fighting to resume.

Nukes will be used at some point which will be devastating and have a very large impact, just as the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster.

You are correct on that, millions were killed when both nations were formed just from the populations migrating.

Let them fight it out till the end, even if it includes nuclear weapons. Yes there would be fallout world wide, but the Russian Tsar bomb explosion was larger than the total nuclear yields these country’s have and we are still here.

The loss of life would be regrettable, but they are determined to hate each other, maybe tens of millions of deaths they might figure out to stop.

Quite possibly, but the HBM (Has Been Media) will never give him credit for it.
