what? is this some kind of new conflict between India and Pakistan?
JK....same old thing since Oct 1947
Yeah, and the newest and best of the Indian AF didn't fare so well.
60+mile kills.
I saw reports of at least 3 Rafales shot down. Oof.

Every Ground War fought between these two nations has generally led to a defeat of the Pakistanis. Wondering what equipment loss of Pakistanis are at this time.

According to Pakistan they shot down five total - three RAF’s, a MiG 29, and a SU-30. They also are claiming to have shot down 25 loitering drones.
If we start supporting Pakistan, would we then be partners with China? Pakistan and China are “the bestest of friends.” That will most likely be tested if this keeps escalating.

The only entity more responsible for the fuckup ending of the war in Afghanistan than Joe Biden is all of Pakistan. I won't even PRETEND to support them against India.
I'd be far more likely to got to India to kill Pakistanis than I would the Ukraine to kill Russians.
And that still won't make me return. On second thought, hear me out...

Philosophical question: at what point do we go from a bunch of regional conflicts to calling a bunch of regional conflicts to be "World War 3?" they are related, but they aren't. They have proxies, but don't. Ukraine/ Russia is financed, supplied, or directly supported by the US/ NATO, China, and NK. Iran is backing the Houthis and Hamas, both of whom are attacking Israel. The Houthis have attacked the Saudis, Emiratis, and the US while being attacked by the above plus the UK recently. The US/ NATO have supplied arms to both India and Pakistan as have the Russians and Chinese while the Pakistanis have supported or allied with the US AND China over the last 20 years.
Africa is multiple layers of stupid by a bunch of parties including the US, France, and China.
At what point does this Venn diagram overlap enough to consider us in WW3? You could argue this is way hotter than the Cold War, but just short of direct superpower on superpower conflict which I guess is the breakpoint for a "world war?"
Just a little spitballing going into the weekend.
