they're both asshole countries what of it
India is increasingly nationalist but does not house terrorists (Osama Bin Laden being the most notable) and militant / terrorist groups are not given access to its intelligence network to destabilize regional geopolitics.
Pakistan had the West's and especially US goodwill until it became known that the government there was too closely tied to terrorist / militant groups.
Oh yeah the "war on terror"
you mean the one Americans self inflicted? The people we trained? Probably friends with Pakistan in the first place because we were training people to overthrow Afghanistan or Iraq from there or something.
There was a definite sloppiness with proxy wars fought in cold war era. Between the USSR and the US there seems to have been a persistent fear that the other would gain power and influence if a key region failed to self govern.
If there's one thing that will always be true about America it's that it will never give up an opportunity to sell or supply weapons.
Where does it say I have to be humane and empathetic about every conflict?
I have very little power here and the motivation behind these countries beefing (religion) is silly to me. I don't care of 60 trillion people died over religion it's still fucking stupid and fuck em.
And I expect the same thrown my own way. When America is nuked and I die, you best damn well say "sucks to fuckin suck"
What are you talking about snap judgements you dolt.
You think Pakistan and India's relationship has nothing to do with religion? Do you know why Pakistan literally exists? Do you know why the relationship between the two are bad? Cultural, mainly religious, differences egged on by imperial powers for well over a century.
Now to modern day. Two heavily corrupt governments who are known for harboring immensely exploited workforces and adhere to, what I see as, insane cultural standards especially in regards to the poor/women.
Fuck em, the resource wars will continue until all humanity has learned a lesson or died. Snap judgements my fuckin ass.
