Rage and despair after brazen attack kills 26 in Indian-administered Kashmir

To say the least, we have reached a low point in India/Pakistan diplomatic relations. If it does seriously kick off, some things to consider:

In a conflict, India's military would steamroller over Pakistan's in a matter of moments. I doubt they'd attempt to take over the entire country, given how well occupations in nearby Afghanistan have fared historically, but they'd probably be happy with just Kashmir. Because almost all freshwater sources flow through Kashmir to the rest of Pakistan. Why shoot your enemy when you can desiccate them?

If the bullets do start flying so will the refugees. And where will they be flying to?

Neither can win as both are nuclear.

You seem to imply a binary but not all nuclear weapons are created equal. The Indians at least have a proven skill set at launching things fairly accurately a long distances... the Moon for example. They also have nuclear subs which is a mutually assured destruction trump card the Pakistanis can't play.

Indias space program is indeed impressive. Their close relationship with the Soviets/Ruskies since the 1970s has certainly paid off. Although since colonial times they've always had pre-eminent astrophysicists etc.

I think there would be ground to argue that London (at least) has enough Indians and Pakistani communities that you cannot seriously seek "refuge" in London....either side of this potential conflict.

I know if I was running away from "threat X unknown" I certainly would not go to somewhere where "threat X unknown" is in abundance and try pretend to myself that I have escaped anything.

David Lammy has been speaking to both sides. Expect nukes very soon. Rolling Eyes

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said Britain has been "engaged" in talks for "some days", with Foreign Secretary David Lammy speaking to both sides.

My cousin when to Kashmir about 20 years ago and it was still pretty dangerous even back then. I wouldn't recommend it even with a lead-lined suit.
