3. The US media loves Trump and his monkey flinging shit circus

that's why this isn't a big story in the US.

Not a big deal....just 2 nuclear armed neighbors who hate each other on the brink of war. Why would the US media cover that?

7. He made some stupid statement

He made a bizarre comment that the conflict has been going on for thousands of years. News to me and probably India and Pakistan.

Of course no one in the MSM called him out or is saying this shows signs of mental decline.

9. Yeah it was pretty incoherent and shows how completely clueless he is

I don’t know how 78 years (since India and Pakistan became independent nations) became 1,500 years. What’s really pathetic and sad is that this isn’t even his first time managing this conflict. It flared up during his first term. Clearly the man just isn’t there.

I wonder, does he just pick some random number out of his ass or is he conflating this conflict with the Israeli/palestinian conflict?

Even that conflict is about the same age, since Israel and India gained independence around the same time.

5. I've been worried about something like this, ever since Pakistan got nukes

some thirty-fiveish years ago....

Those two countries could wage a nuclear war against each other,
which, even if it was contained between those two countries alone,
could make one hell of an ecological mess which we obviously do not need...

Hey, we better send in TRUMP, he'll "fix things".... right?

8. Vance was in India the day before the terrorist attack in Kashmir.

Vance visited the Pope seven hours before he died.
Vance is gleefully setting up House in the Naval Observatory cheering on the death of Democracy.
I'm thinking Vance, or Bowman, or whatever his name is, is a shadow person for a mogwai or other soul sucking denizen of an alternate reality.
While it is true that everything *rump touches dies, it is also true that Vance carries a nihilistic miasma with him.
