RogueJSKIndia Bombs Pakistan
Figured this was coming sooner or later. There's been significant escalation over the past couple weeks.

Kashmir is one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints and is controlled in part by India and Pakistan but both countries claim it in its entirety.

bettysnephewAren't those the two countries with the daily border closing that is very prevocational. If so, no surprise there. It is just like they are taunting each other to throw the first punch.
