India and Pakistan don't play about Kashmir...there will be more blood shed there. I could see the UN getting involved, but hope to God we don't send in troops.

Random thought. The headwaters of the Indus should be full of meltwater, which means that PK's dams should be working overtime. There are also reports of recent torrential rains causing flooding and other reports of PK having trouble repairing it's riverine infrastructure. If PK's dams suffer catastrophic failures, I wonder how long before the country folds in on itself.
A large chunk of PK's population resides pretty close to the Indus and it's tributaries. Not to mention a fair amount of prime farmland (Punjab and Sindh) would be rendered unusable for a time. In the quotes are thumbnails of PK's population centers (dots), poulation density (red shaded polygons), ethnic groups by area (multicolored polygons), and last PK's waterways.
Hypothetically speaking, it doesn't look like PK would be able to deal with the displacement of the millions due to flooding. PK's finances would also be crushed having prime AG real estate destroyed, for a season or two, by flooding and the following industrial contamination of the soil. Downstream flowing debris from a flood would also damage transportation infrastructure (bridges, roads, etc) and hamper reconstruction attempts. Thinking aloud, a displaced and starving population does not make for good wartime footing, especially with how ethnically fractured PK's population is.
Can't imagine how much monsoon season would suck in the aftermath though.

Supposedly that thing is very cool to watch.
India's got India to look out for, and Pakistan's the root of so much evil on this planet....

So remember these five guys? You know, the five guys we traded to get bowe Bergdahl back, and Obama promised would never have any involvement in terrorist activities again?

Once Jailed in Guantánamo, 5 Taliban Now Face U.S. at Peace Talks
The five senior Taliban officials were held at Guantánamo for 13 years before catching a lucky break in 2014. They were exchanged for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only known American service member to be held by the insurgents as a prisoner of war.

Grrrrrr...was going to dish out some hate for this but thought it would be a bit misdirected.
Prayers out for the wounded. Condolences to the families of the dead. Enough. Bring them all home. Fuck that place. Let it go the hell.
