    No, there’s nothing in place to actually do that at the moment. They’ve said they would, to which Pakistan offered nuclear fallout.

    Of course beyond that it’s a question of why they’ve finally decided to withhold water, at which point no, it’s not a broken clock situation. The country that harbored bin Laden turns out to have an Islamist terrorist group funding habit.

        If that’s your takeaway of the relationship between the two countries and their well over a billion people, it’s hardly like you’d be expected to care at all- so to you, nothing.

        Maybe take Rwanda and the DRC- I’m sure you don’t really care about the conflict between those countries either, but the millions of people who live there matter to themselves, as does the actual truth about the conflict and what drives it. It’s so reductive and frankly vapid to just think, “oh asshole bad countries”, as though that couldn’t apply anywhere else, in any other conflict.

        India is increasingly nationalist but does not house terrorists (Osama Bin Laden being the most notable) and militant / terrorist groups are not given access to its intelligence network to destabilize regional geopolitics.

        Pakistan had the West’s and especially US goodwill until it became known that the government there was too closely tied to terrorist / militant groups.
