I mean Pakistan is a crucial part of the BRI, and India is in BRICS. A war between India and Pakistan would be a crippling blow to the alternate economic system that's developing outside the US right now. If this goes nuclear, then Eurasia will be most affected.

Let's all hope that China and Russia's links with India and Pakistan are enough to reign them back in and force them to talk. Sadly I don't expect much sanity from the Hindu supremacists in India and it really feels like they are the ones in the driver seat on this. "Ethno-nationalism, not even once."

I know, despite general racism against south Asians, Hindu supremacists are often treated as "the good ones" within England. Which is to say, I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of a deliberate effort to use India as a proxy to kill more Muslims, without white people taking casualties. That would be on track with how white supremacists usually operate.

I'm hoping that people running India are aware enough to realize that they're not gonna be better off in case of a nuclear holocaust.
