India 🇮🇳 vs Pakistan 🇵🇰 Can Trump stop it or make it worse ?

[tourists24]

Definitely didn’t think of that. Side note: Trump announced
1. 100% tariffs on foreign movies
2. 20% reduction in military top brass

I have no problem with the movie tariffs. Also have no issue in a reduction in top military brass.

IMHO I think it’s for narrative building and having media sway. Also clearing out senior brass means having more yes men in high military positions.

I have an admitted bias when it comes to military. I was on the NCO side in a combat unit and the way politics is the higher up the ranks you go is crazy. 20 percent cut is probably low for what it could be.

When you get to staff levels it is more about politics than anything else. And the military is very bloated with high level officers so I agree with trimming some of the fat. 20% is a good start but I wouldn't argue against twice as much.

We are redirecting the iPhone out of China. That phone/company footprint is worldwide. China is threatened by India. Pakistan is a China loyalist. US and China are playing proxy with India/Pakistan. We just finished “Africa 2.9” blueprint for snagging resources in Ukraine. The citizens there will not be able to profit from the mining/resources there. India is a threat to China like Ukraine to Russia. India is next up to need possible “Ukraine like” assistance. We will be watching

Well that's not correct. Pakistan is more a U.S. ally than allied with China. India isn't going to need "Ukraine like assistance" as it has about 6 times the population of Pakistan, is wealthier, and has nukes. Pakistan/India would in no way be a proxy war, encouraged by us or the Chinese. It's a regional conflict, and in no way is one country seeking to conquer and take over the other. India is mostly Hindu, and doesn't need the headache of administering a Muslim population beyond the headaches it gets from its own Muslim citizens.

India has closer ties to Russia than to the US. Pakistan is probably closer to France than to the US. Not something we need to get involved in.

The Pakistanis are double dealers. Taking our money and weapons while funding the Taliban(and hiding bin Laden). India is more independent. They deal with everyone, but don't let themselves be controlled by anyone(@Next Day Err ).

Except Trump. They would never challenge anyone if Trump didn’t want it

Are you just trolling? Or do you seriously believe that?

Nobody would fight each other if Donald Trump was in office.

Yep, trolling.

And no matter what good Trump accomplishes he'll be critical.

Military is gonna do what they do. I just want real men at the top not just yes men.

So you're pleased with Trump's ban on transgender military members?

True, Trump and Hegseth are clearing out the fake men.

Always have to be cautious. I don’t believe this term is going quietly
