Thank you, VP Vance for your common sense. A war between Pakistan and India is definitely “none of our business.”

When I think of the near hundred billion dollars we have poured down a rat hole of corruption in Ukraine while our ancient air traffic control systems are crumbling, I am infuriated.

The problem I see if that war turns nuclear then it becomes our business like it or not.

Even before that, it could make trouble for us.

He’s right, of course. We have enough problems of our own to deal with.

I think this is the public face for this. I have no doubt, we are trying diplomatically to prevent a nuclear war...

If we have to choose sides, India is the one.

It may be “none of our business”, but that does not meant that the virus of war fever will not spread. China is actively supporting the Pakis, as they already have BIG differences with India, and have in fact engaged in several border skirmishes with India in recent years. One thing about it, it keeps the attention of Chairman Xi kind of off Taiwan for now, maybe we can get our US Navy built up to where it may once again provide a more complete patrol of the seas, and “let its presence be known”.

This is a race against time, which country will have a fully functional blue water navy first, the US or China.

Oh yeah, and who gets to militarize low-orbit space first.

It’s nice to hear our VP say, “It’s none of our business.” I don’t know if I’ve ever heard that from a politician or Government spokesperson.

Aren’t customer service call centers vital to national security?

Maybe I’m responding to a dog whistle, but I wonder if Vance is giving India the green light.

We should all pull for India. To hell with Pakistan.

“Even before that, it could make trouble for us.”

Apparently, the war is being fought in riot form in the UK and probably elsewhere. We have lots of both parties here. What I’ve noticed about some foreign nationalities, they act like they’re still in their home country. They never acculturate. If they’re from a third world country, that’s what they recreate here.

In my college in the seventies there were professors from Pakistan and India. You could feel the tension even then. These were PhDs. Imagine the possible collateral damage from your trip through Walmart when they start fighting here.

It’s none of our business until it goes nuclear. By the time we device to do something it’s all over. In a nuclear exchange, one a missile is launched, there is no oops button. Both sides have about 180 warheads each, in less than 30 minutes, more than 1 billion will be vaporized, the rest die of radiation poisoning, and China gets the fallout. Their crops will fail and we then have another billion dead from starvation.

The world will depopulate very quickly.

Pakistan harbored and hid Osama Bin Laden for several years. Both of those countries could obliterate themselves and I wouldn't give a damn. Churchill was right about India too.

Is it OK for our military contractors to arm both sides?

We wouldn’t want their bottom line to suffer.

Lol.

Vance has zero foreign policy experience or chops, and it’ll be a BIG problem for us and the rest of the world if one of both of them decide to pop a nuke.

we're not going to get involved in the middle of war that's fundamentally none of our business

Until one side pops a nuke...
