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.
Where does it say I have to be humane and empathetic about every conflict?
I have very little power here and the motivation behind these countries beefing (religion) is silly to me. I don’t care of 60 trillion people died over religion it’s still fucking stupid and fuck em.
And I expect the same thrown my own way. When America is nuked and I die, you best damn well say “sucks to fuckin suck”
I didn’t request that you be humane or empathetic, and stated as much. What of it? To someone that is content with not actually looking into things, and just making snap assumptions about how the world around them works, nothing.
You’ve done it again in assuming that religion is the motivation behind the conflict. If you’re going to engage with other people about topics, the bare minimum of thinking about the topic you’ve chosen to discuss seems like a fair ask.
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.
you mean the one Americans self inflicted? The people we trained? Probably friends with Pakistan in the first place because we were training people to overthrow Afghanistan or Iraq from there or something.
There was a definite sloppiness with proxy wars fought in cold war era. Between the USSR and the US there seems to have been a persistent fear that the other would gain power and influence if a key region failed to self govern.
If there’s one thing that will always be true about America it’s that it will never give up an opportunity to sell or supply weapons.
they’re both asshole countries what of it

Oh yeah the “war on terror”
