    I know that this is an ongoing thing between these 2 countries, but it always makes me nervous when I remember that they both have a nuclear arsenal.

      And they’ve had several hot wars since indepedence. Modhi is a Hindu nationalist leader so he’s going to stroke nationalistic themes when ever opportunities arise.

        I get what you’re trying to say, and I agree too, I am anti-war, but all the wars between India and Pakistan were actually provoked by Pakistan. The Kargil War happened when both were nuclear armed in 1999, and nothing happened then. I doubt if anything will happen now either, apart from people dying. 8 civilians from Jammu died in retaliatory cross border firing, hopefully, it de-escalates after this. There was a similar situation in 2019, and war didn’t break out.
