A question about Pakistan.
| Do Pakistan have nukes?
(Half-Life Scientist voice)
*We're doomed!*
| >>834414 Why do they hate each other if they are like brothers and sisters in terms of blood and ancestors?
| >Is there a danger they'll use global unrest as an excuse to escalate?
No.
>And how far do you all think they'd go?
They're not gonna nuke themselves into suicide.
This thread is dumb.

it seems that is easier for humans to go to war rather than understanding the value of humans lives...
| >>834497
Well. Yes. But that's a cultural thing. Not every culture places a high innate value on human life. It's really a western European moral that's been forced onto the rest of the world more than anything else.
| >>834497 just like how people get reminded the importance of hygine and health by the pandemic, we'll need to be reminded the importance of peace and human live by war. And we'll foget again after a few decades, repeating the process.

What country are you from? I'll be sure to never visit, and vote against sending you money or military support ever again.

You're surely right about that. I don't know why more of this stuff isn't thought in school. Like, the gross kid would've stopped being gross if he knew how important it was to maintain proper hygiene, for example.
It also would've made him less unpopular in the long run which culminates in him being less likely to fall prey to mental illnesses and therefor pro-war propaganda and other self-destructive behaviours.
| Pakistan was founded by indian islamists that were supported by the USA in order to prevent communist successes in the region. Modern Islamism is in most cases the child of anti-communist policy by the USA. Iran is an exceptional case, thought. The iranian theocracy is only an indirect consequence to USA foreign policy. The USA supported "the shah", a puppet dictator, against the once democratically elected president. Under the Shah liberal and socialist opposition was eliminated.

All true. But modern Pakistan has almost constant low-level conflicts with India.
Which is what the thread was about, not anything to do with their founding.

| I know the paki government of 30 years ago wouldn't pull the trigger on their nukes, but it seems like they've become much more religiously motivated since then.
Is there a danger they'll use global unrest as an excuse to escalate? And how far do you all think they'd go?
