Galt's Gulch

Conservative talk radio host, Sebastian Gorka, brought up an interesting thought.Pakistan, a nuclear power, has always relied on Afghanistan to watch her back. Haven't heard this one commented on yet.

What say you? Will Pakistan use this tremendous opportunity to nuke India now that China is taking over Bagram Air Base?

    Evil vs Good. This war is worldwide. Irregular warfare and a tyrannical leadership placed by Satanic Luciferian bloodlines. They control most of everything but our minds. That is why we are being bombarded with propaganda and the light (“truth”) is being blocked by the curtain of big tech censorship.
    I am the fool racing away from the cliff we are being led over.

      Dobrien, you are no fool. You are no lemming either. I watch the mindless horde race by as I fight to keep from being swept away or trampled under their pounding feet. I hold to one anchor. I exist. That anchor covers a multitude of anchor points. I think. I reason. I observe. I study. Evil is emboldened with each passing day. It sweeps around the world unopposed, greeted with cheers and open arms by unwitting multitudes. One day soon, reality will show its unyielding face and one cry will be heard, "but I didn't know!". When that day looks to be imminent, I will move to a pre-arranged area, to meet with those friends and family who understand reality. Bring popcorn and kleenex...

    Not sure what motivates Pakistan, but China is not ready for a fight today. More importantly, they don't need to start one today. In a few years, the US economic power will be so depleted from socialism and lethargy (the exact worker lethargy predicted by the Soviet Union a few years off), that China will be able to win conflicts without fighting, like any big dog.

    China will tell Pakistan not to screw with India. China has as little interest in Islam as it does in Christianity. India is largely secular, like China is institutionally.

      Correction: India is largely Hindu (80%) with ALL secularism and misc religion at .24% (one quarter of one percent). Islam is second with 14% and most of those in the contested Kashmir region.
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religio...

      And actually, China has a huge problem with Islam, which is one reason why they've imprisoned so many Uighers. China has had problems with islamic militants along its easter borders for decades similar to Russia's issue with Chechnian separatists.

      All that being said, I agree that it is unlikely that China would encourage Pakistan to stir up trouble unless it would be used as a distraction to allow China to invade Taiwan.

        Yes, India is about as Hindu as the US was Christian. However, they (like us) don't institute it in government.

        China has a small internal problem with Islam, but doesn't have an external problem with Islam. They are like criminals. They don't care about the religion or politics of their associates. After they get what they want in the major economic "war", they'll turn on the people in the sand, and simply starve them out.

      A very good point Thoritsu. China has a far better track record for patience and long range planning than most of the world, certainly we are far behind them in patience and it will be "I want it NOW" that helps topple us.

        That is how we got to buying disposable crap from China, and destroyed our domestic industry. "Union First" bumper stickers in Walmart parking lots are the ultimate irony.

        We voluntarily paid to overdrive China's economy! Now we are buying military equipment to protect against it.

    I was going to say...Not a chance....Bur with Bite-Me...who knows what stupid stuff will get done while they have the opportunity. However, I don't think Pakistan will really want to piss off India. They will get their asses handed to them if India takes off the gloves.

    Negative....they’ve nothing to gain by nuking India.
    Additionally....China will annex Taiwan as a test to see if the US is actually “dead”. And we will be so embroiled in our own internal dysfunction we will be unable to do anything but pound a shoe on a table. At that point the Chinese will have won. It is inevitable.
    And The Taliban are essentially aligned with Pakistan.

    Pakistan is a stark example of why we should not allow N Korea or Iran to develop nuclear capability. They get away with harboring Osama, and the Taliban so that they can sweep through Afghanistan the moment US troops pull out. China may be an economic threat, but this is a self-limiting threat. In the end, it's better to have viable trading partners. These theocracies bent on jihad are the real problem.

      Theocracies, of any kind, are certainly a problem. North Korea, Russia and China are not theocracies, but certainly China is a real problem.

        The problem with China is that they have an autocratic central government with huge power VS the US. They have a 500-year plan and we can't manage to row in sync for 4 years. This is a philosophical difference so China has pressure to become more democratic and capitalist while we are pressured to become more socialist and autocratic. I think they win this one over the next several generations if they can continue to deliver an improved standard of living and avoid a popular uprising. This is a challenge, but it doesn't need to end in a mushroom cloud.

          No, it will end with a squeak from the US, right before the lights go out, and China comes over to save us...

          China has no plan or need to openly fight the US.

            Agreed! China just wants to grow economically and they need our consumers to execute that plan.

              Not sure China "just" wants economic growth. However, they can achieve the international power and dominance via economic growth, without military action, and we will let (actually aid) them do it.

              Evidence that they see military strength as an additional prerequisite is in their present MASSIVE navy build up.
