<Silly hats edition
>Following a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, that resulted in 26 fatalities, India has retaliated with 'Operation Sindoor', targeting nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied territories. This operation marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between the two nations. Pakistan, in response, has heightened its emergency measures and reported shooting down two Indian jets, intensifying the military confrontation. International reactions and calls for peace are noted, amidst growing concerns over regional stability.
>>2259183the first thing reported were the two rafales as things were happening
>>>/leftypol/2256460at the end of the skirmish the claim was 5 planes, 3 of them rafales
>>>/leftypol/2256825this was all from the very beginning, the number you see inflating now is what india has admitted
CPI(ML) Central Committee statement in the wake of Operation Sindoor:
The Government of India and Indian Armed Forces have informed the country about the demolition of nine terror-training camps across Pakistan past midnight in the early hours of 7 May. The Indian authorities have attributed the operation to credible intelligence inputs and have described it as a precise and restrained response carried out with a calibrated and non-escalatory approach. Pakistan however talks of civilian casualties including women and children. In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, there are already reports of cross-border firing and several civilian deaths in Jammu and Kashmir.
Clearly there are alarming signs of yet another Indo-Pak war looming large. All efforts must be made to prevent a war between the two nuclear-powered neighbours and explore the whole range of non-military diplomatic options to curb terrorism and deescalate tension.
The Government of India has also announced an extensive exercise of mock drills in more than two hundred centres across the country. The last time mock drills had happened on such a big scale was in 1971 when India and Pakistan had actually been involved in a major war. While mock drills are techniques of bolstering security by spreading public alertness, we must make sure that such drills do not vitiate India's internal climate and create a jingoistic clamour for war.
The name Operation Sindoor ostensibly invokes the agenda of justice for the women who have lost their husbands in the terror attack in Pahalgam. Justice for the victim families calls upon us to respect their voices, their call for maintaining peace and harmony and their concerns about the multiple lapses that enabled the terrorists to carry out the heinous attack. Action must be taken against the troll army and influential political voices who are indulging in hate-mongering against courageous women like Himanshi Narwal and Shaila Negi.
In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and now Operation Sindoor, internet is flooded with claims, counterclaims and fake news. While checking the flow of fake news and misinformation, the right to freedom of expression and dissent must not be suppressed. The fabricated charges against Bhojpuri folk singer Neha Singh Rathore, Lucknow University professor and political satirist Madri Kakoti, digital news channel 4PM network and now the 'disappearance' of the YouTube channel of journalist Punya Prasun Bajpai point to a new phase of heightened attacks on dissent by terming it anti-national.
We call upon the government of India to stop this policy of suppression and appeal to all justice-loving Indians to stay firm and united against all kinds of terror, hate and repression and continue to uphold peace, harmony and democracy. We also call upon the government of Pakistan to stop the terror camps in Pakistan, and appeal to the people of Pakistan to raise their voice against terror and war. Across the India-Pakistan border, let us say a loud no to another India-Pakistan war and mount pressure for bilateral deescalation of tension.
https://cpiml.net/Press-Statements/2025/05/opt-for-deescalation-and-diplomacy-avoid-another-india-pakistan-war>>2259126I believe it's justified to be racist against pajeets because of their support to the Zionist entity.
Also they shit on the street and rape a lot.
(Rule 12 - low-quality reactionary content) >>2259472Of course not. But that was early in the war, when it wasn't a slog war of attrition.
Nowadays the false reports in Ukraine usually refer to undermining losses and overembelishing minor gains.
>>2259549Statement of the Central Secretariat of the Communist Party of Pakistan on the escalation of military tension between India and Pakistan:
<"The Communist Party of Pakistan, grounded in the Marxist-Leninist tradition, firmly condemns the military aggression initiated by the Indian bourgeois state and the counter-aggression launched by the Pakistani ruling class. These are not wars of liberation, nor are they in the interest of the proletariat, they are the wars of rival bourgeois military aggression for regional hegemony at the expense of the working class.
<We assert that the working masses of India and Pakistan have no stake in the nationalist sabre-rattling of their respective ruling classes. In a region armed with nuclear weapons, these provocations risk plunging the subcontinent into catastrophic annihilation, an outcome that would spare neither caste, creed, nor class, but would disproportionately destroy the lives and livelihoods of workers, peasants, and the poor. Such military posturing is a diversion, a smokescreen to veil the deepening crisis of capitalist exploitation, inflation, unemployment, and social unrest. It is a tactic long used by bourgeois regimes to stoke reactionary nationalism and crush the rising tide of class consciousness.
<The Communist Party of Pakistan calls upon the working class and progressive forces across South Asia to reject this false nationalism and embrace proletarian internationalism. Our struggle is not with the workers across the border, but with the comprador bourgeoisie, feudal remnants, and military-industrial complexes that profit from bloodshed. Let there be no illusion the path to lasting peace lies not in diplomatic band-aids between warring states, but in the revolutionary transformation of society through the overthrow of capitalism, the dismantling of bourgeois militarism, and the unity of the working class beyond borders.
<Let the war drums of chauvinism be silenced by the battle cry of international solidarity.
<Workers of the world, unite!<Inquilab Zindabad!"https://www.idcommunism.com/2025/05/communist-party-of-pakistan-no-india-pakistan-war-but-class-war-down-with-bourgeois-militarism.html >>2259581>>2259289>>2259095 (kid)
some based voices for peace and deescalation
is that kid a communist?
>>2259611nothing is happening
these skirmishes between India and Pakistan will not evolve into all out war.
See Pulwama-Balakot bullshit in 2019. 'Surgical strikes', a few jets and helicopters lost, 'training camps' in the middle of nowhere supposedly destroyed. End of Story.
>>2259633The Indians are striking major targets that haven't been hit since the 70's. Treaties that have stood for 70 years are being torn up. International waterways are being closed off.
Things are happening and nothing you say will stop it from happening.
>>2259615sometime no ting happen long time
othertime lot ting happen short time
>>2259653Serious question
Should I rope, I've been dreading WW3 for quite some time and would rather die by suicide than a nuclear blast
>>2259665But the US could get nuked even if I don't fight
I'm genuinely fucking terrified
>But le nuke will vaporize youI doubt it goes like how Hollywood shills it, I bet it'll hurt like hell plus it's just an awful way to go
>>2259668No, the people who proclaim to be against Mr. Petit (or the "establishment" as they would prefer to say) but are actually their biggest lapdogs.
WW3, like WW2 and 1, will not be an ideological war it will simply be a war of interests and the maintenance of the balance of power. At least WW2 had an element of a universal crusade against fascism even though for the western allies it was much more complicated than that. WW3 will be triggered over gas or some such bullshit.
>>2259675I'm not. I know a bit about modern nuclear weapons and can assure you you're not getting some hollywood post-apocalyptic game bullshittery. Modern nuclear weapons are not nearly as fallout producing as older ones that burst closer to the ground. Society would not magically collapse. Of course I fear nuclear war but I wouldn't choose suicide over the potentiality of surviving a nuclear exchange.
But anyway, even under a WW3 scenario, the capitalists would only pick the nook button as the last resort.
>>2259655What the fuck kind of post is this? Do you constantly bitch about multipolarity, and claim reformism can flip NATO communist or something?
What morons hang out here with me. Like that self-immolator idiot.
>>2259655why not suicide by nuclear blast
Just visit the nearest airport when the nukes are launched
Aerial Battle: As Many as 125 Fighter Jets Exchanged Fire and Launched Missiles
>According to Pakistan, the aerial battle between Indian and Pakistani fighter jets was one of the largest in recent aviation history.
<A total of 125 bombers and fighter aircraft were involved in the battle, which lasted over an hour, a Pakistani security official told U.S. broadcaster CNN. The combat took place in such a way that both Indian and Pakistani aircraft remained within their own airspace, while missiles flew as far as 160 kilometers into the other country's territory.
>Neither side was willing to send its fighters into the other nation, as a cautionary example had been set in 2019. At that time, an Indian fighter jet was shot down over Pakistani territory, and the captured pilot was shown on Pakistani television before being returned to India. According to CNN's source, neither side wanted to experience such humiliation again.
<On Wednesday, Pakistan claimed to have destroyed up to five Indian fighter jets in a nighttime aerial battle, alleging that as many as three of them were French-made Rafale jets manufactured by Dassault. France confirmed on Wednesday evening that one Rafale had been destroyed.
>On Thursday, Pakistan accused India of sending unmanned aerial vehicles into its territory. Pakistan reported having shot down 25 drones, some of which were identified as Israeli-made Harop loitering munitions (suicide drones).
>>2260105By erasing their great culture!
Seriously though, I wonder at what point will Pakistani and other migrants will leave Europe and go back home/to other countries. They came to a better place to use their learned skills at, and it's quite obvious they'll do it again if pressured
>>2260111I just saw some post on twitter by some Nigerian immigrant in Canada saying he was leaving Canada because it sucks compared to when he came 10-15 yesrs ago. I saw Nigerians in the comments and they were like
>so are you giving up ypur Canadian citizenship?He was like
<lmao, no, are you crazy?Once ypu have secured that 1st world citizenship your world is your oyster, but they aren't going to lrt go of that citizenship for their kids or their kids kids lol. Their bloodline has gained citizenship, regardless of where they choose to live.

>>2260240Same with any auth-right state. Trying to channel the angers of the working class into some nationalistic fervour for a spit of land that in the grand scheme of things means very little.
Throw in some moralism "pakistan funded anti hindu terrorists" and there you have it.
>>2260555kek
indians how much left until you deploy the tactical captain price non-motorized mortar team
>>2260558i looked at this image several times and i still can't comprehend how's the recoil not gonna split that camel's back in half
>>2260583superior ganges technology
>>2260743Just because they say they are at war doesn't mean something's happening.
Call me when troops try to enter and occupy/conquer territories, until then, it is just a nothinburger.
sorry bois but i stand on the side of india they got vegan foods as their national dish
indian cuisine when not compared online and irl to sloppy diarrhea has some breddy neat dishes
a lot of porridge and types of bread, khichdi, masalla, curry
meanwhile every popular or street food in pakistan has something to do with meat
nihari, meat skewers, meat gravy, meat on the grill, meat wrapped in bread, meat fried in it's own fats in a wok, spicy meat, bland meat, white meat, red meat
it settles it, if you like meat join pakistan, if you like your veggies and color powders join indians

>>2260983its always been american policy to stay neutral and play both sides.
india refuses to take americas side against china, this is all very complicated and mages you dink :DDD
>>2261007>goat biryaniThat stuff is so good.
>It took them over an hour to get it out (pretty sure they were busy filling a big catering order or something)Could be. The food culture is a bit different. A lot of street food but they cook meals at home a lot more than we do generally, and restaurants don't rush it as much, they like it fresh and restaurants can be more of a leisure experience for a big group than a place you happen to eat at while sitting down (we do that too like going to a nice Italian place or a steakhouse but tend to we want everything fast).
>>2261083Those are liberals and what is the business of the nepalis in all this matter? None.
If anything they even the liberals and the maoists of the naxal are in the same camp. Deescalation and avoinding being next to the new Hiroshima fallout
>>2261187The poorest countries are the most obsessed with revanchism and irredentism. Ethiopians and somali twitter are always going on about it. Ethiopians want greater Ethiopia by conquering Eritrea and Somalis want greater Somalia by conquering Ethiopia.
Look at Germany in ww2.
>>2261214>you're gonna say we need to end sykes picot and let arabs merge instead of fighting with american weapons? Already tried it was the United Arab Republic
>or what else? merge most of spanish latin america into a union that can dictate it's own foreign policy?Already tried it was Gran Colombia and the UPCA
>>2261260luv Indians.

Simple as.
Mods make pakistan flag please. I'm getting married to a women living in pakistan, hope she is fine.
>>2260459I don't doubt that the israel war on gaza inspired iand emboldened ndian reactionaries.
>>2260558those are battle tested units (from the 19th century anyway)
>>2261280literally me
all of the firepower india and pakistan wasted on eachother today, all the drones and rockets should have been aimed at london instead, just sayin
>>2261280good
but I do not see many ppl making this distinction here
last year's election, Modi's coalition had 44% of the vote share, versus 37% for the main opposition coalition. It is not like Modi has the whole Hindu population behind him.
But whatever the fuck, leftypol gonna back the main sponsor of islamic fundamentalists against smelly pajeets. Not that any of them understand anything about India or Pakistan
>>2261266communist movements in India have a lot more life than in USA, UK and Germany
You do not know anything about India beyond the pajeet memes, the Zionist-loving cringe posting Indians, and the vegetarianism.
>>2261340the movement was boiling hot in the 80s.
Not that many Sikhs in India nowadays are still for separatism. Those in Canada however hate India with a passion
>>2261470fascist Quebec we go then
gotta work with what we have
>>2261510nice truck
is it a ford
>>2261596Saudi news sources at the moment. And many other on the ground reporters, but it's still unconfirmed.
So far only Indian bases are confirmed to be hit. I will let you know when more concrete info from New Delhi comes, which should be soon.
>>2261612this is a war over the land of Kashmir.
Pakistan claims it cause its majority muslim, india claims it cause the guy who ruled over it a long time ago said india could have it.
It a geogrpahically important land between china, india and pakistan
>>2261612>explain this conflict to meIt's… uhh… because of fault lines based on critical resources (as India's opening move to abrogate a critical water treaty shows) that are being made much worse by climate change, on top of longstanding conflict over an Indian-occupied Muslim region (that would very likely vote to join Pakistan if the people there could) with a lot of serious grievances that already existed and implications if either power can consolidate control over it + brand new focus of India in developing its own arms industry and a military build-up shifting the balance of power + Modi's renewed Hindu nationalism worsening relations + the destabilization of Pakistan resulting from the war in Afghanistan and America's withdrawal means American troops aren't in the area so we don't give a fuck.
And finally the mindset and motivations of the leaders in question is completely irrational and emotional.
>>2261684???
if you can learn anything from the soviet foreign relations doctrine is that supporting these bourgeois third world countries is a waste of resources. if anything it will be a matter of restraint for china to sell
(not give) equipment and intelligence to pakistan
>>2261687holy fucking shit
i have an indian coworker who seems like a good person. yeah yeah yeah H1B blah blah blah. she went back to india to get married. hope she and her loved ones are OK

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS
NOTHING EVER HAPPENS
NOTHING EVER HAPPENS
>>2261819let's hope lol
no way out for musky boy
>>2259489this tells you already who's the more losing side. similar to what ukrainians did. learning from banderites?
>>2260769>>2260697besides nukes, where both are losers, India said multiple times that Paks are sending weapons to benderistan, which has dwindled their army. could be a lie, could be true. but let's not forget that the us did a coup to overthrow a friendlier puppet. similar to what happened in Bangladesh, which was a slap to India, installing a US puppet, it seems to me that the west is trying to enclose the Hindus.
>>2261612>why does pakistan insist on hosting terrorist groupsdo they? who specifically? all of pakistan?
>>2261620>why do all this shit and why nowmy theory is that its because america lost in ukraine so they are trying to fuck with chinas BRI in a different spot further back. i think they have assets in pakistani intelligence that fund terrorists on behalf of the cia and against the majority of pakistans wishes. so these rogue assets provoked an attack by india so that india will take a massive shit on chinas new railroads and delay the pakistan corridor, which was supposed to be a land route bypass for oil that has to go through the strait of malacca. this gives americans time arm up for the bigger war they want to provoke in taiwan.
when something in the world happens you just have to think how will it effect Exxon and Raytheon stocks and you will learn why
>>2261950Friggin' India doesn't care to have a whole region under Marxist government, a.k.a Kerala, while the Pakis did everything possible to fuck Afghanistan.
be mad about it, it's the truth.
>>2261945they and who being pakistan here. does the pakistan state support and fund and "host" jamaat-e-islami with consent? the whole state? im seeing they have 1 seat in a local assembly and no senate seats
>tied with the muslim brotherhood, the fathers of al-qaedayour just making it sound more like a burger psyop than organic pakistani supported by the people
>>2261951The CPI (Marxist) is a Revisionist Crypto-Fascist Party beholden to Ultra-Reactionary Zionist Hindu Nationalism and thus supports the Indian Settler-Colonial Genocide of Kashmir, as the only Real Communists in India are the CPI (Maoist), more commonly known as Naxalites, who are waging a Maoist PPW against the Fascist Indian State, which means that all Real Communists should Critically Support the Anti-Zionist “Islamic Republic of Pakistan” in their valiant struggle to liberate the Oppressed Nation of Kashmir from Hindu Nationalist Zionist Fascist Indian Settler-Colonialism (the attack on the Pahalagam Zionist Hindu Nationalist Indian Settler-Colonialist “tourists” was a False Flag attack staged by Indian security forces to “justify” the Genocide of Kashmir, just like the Zionist State allowed the October 7th attack, which was itself possibly a De Facto False Flag attack orchestrated by Mossad agents inside of Hamas, to happen on purpose, and ordered the IDF to slaughter their own Zionist Fascist Settler-Colonialist compatriots with Apache Attack Helicopters at the Music festival, as prescribed by the “Hannibal Directive”, in order to provide a Casus Belli for the Zionist Genocide of Gaza, with this also being similar to previous well known False Flag attacks like 9/11 and the 1999 Moscow Apartment bombings, which were used to “Justify” the Genocidal U$ Imperialist Invasions of Afghanistan/Iraq and the Genocidal Russian Imperialist Invasion of Chechnya, respectively), which will hopefully escalate into a limited Nuclear War between India and Pakistan that will be the most Historically Progressive event for the Indian Subcontinent (and one of the most for the entire world), which will allow the Naxalites to finally win their Maoist PPW and establish a Federation of Socialist States in the Indian Subcontinent (The Comprador Bourgeois Capitalist States of India and Pakistan will both be overthrown by Maoist PPWs and Balkanized into the Hindustani SFSR, Kashmiri SSR, Punjabi SSR, Pashtun SSR, Balochi SSR, Sindhi SSR, Gujarati SSR, Marathi SSR, Konkani SSR, Kannada SSR, Malayalam SSR, Tamil SSR, Telugu SSR, Odia SSR, Bengali SSR, Nepali SSR, Assamese SSR, Khasi SSR, Mizo SSR, Manipuri SSR, Ao SSR, and Nissi SSR, that will all join the Global USSR, as shown in the Map I posted), which combined with World War III escalating into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (the Map I posted shows all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR) that will Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
>>2261787
>Pakistan is pointing strongly to US meddling as playing a role in its current hot conflict with India. This idea seems less strained when you factor in that Pakistan has turned to Russia, a strong ally of India back to the very days of its formation, to act as mediator. Further corroboration of Johnson’s thesis comes indirectly in an OilPrice post, which we are reproducing in full, how continuing hostilities would undermine China’s Belt and Road Initiative to link Asia to Europe by land transport.
>Pakistan apparently drained its weapons supplies, at US urging, to support Ukraine, and is thus seriously outmatched by India in conventional forces. Worse, Pakistan’s nuclear doctrine has a low threshold for deployment. Pakistan regards its tactical nuclear weapons as a means to counter its shortfall (even before the Ukraine diversion) in conventional capacity.
>Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, accused India of staging a false flag. But Asif didn’t stop there. During an interview with Sky News, Asif admitted that Pakistan has been supporting and funding terrorist groups for about three decades, describing this as “doing the dirty work for the United States and the West, including Britain.”
>Asif stated, “We have been doing this dirty work for the United States for about three decades, you know, the West, including Britain.” This comment was made in the context of discussing Pakistan’s historical role in supporting Western-led initiatives, which he suggests have contributed to the current challenges with terrorism.
>Reflecting on Pakistan’s past decisions, Asif acknowledged that the country had trained Mujahideen fighters during the Afghan-Soviet war, stating, “We prepared them and now they have become terrorists.” He emphasized that Pakistan should not have engaged in such activities at the behest of other nations.
>Asif has criticized the United States for its military interventions, noting that Pakistan has suffered due to its alliance with the U.S. He pointed out that the U.S. left behind high-tech weapons in Afghanistan, which have contributed to the rise in terrorism within Pakistan.
>The attack in Pahalgam, at a minimum, was designed to disrupt further development of the area as a tourist destination. Still, in light of Asif’s remarkable confession, I cannot rule out something more nefarious by my former outfit or by Britain’s MI-6.
>A war between India and Pakistan would significantly destabilize Central Asia, disrupting trade routes, delaying infrastructure projects, and increasing regional militancy. China, Russia, and the U.S. may intensify involvement in Central Asia, leveraging the conflict to protect or expand their influence. Potential nuclear fallout, refugee flows, and the breakdown of regional cooperation could severely impact Central Asia’s economic development, security, and food systems.
>A war between Pakistan and India would likely have significant ripple effects on Central Asia, given the region’s proximity to Afghanistan and flourishing economic ties across the region. The conflict could disrupt trade and energy routes, increase militancy, and draw in major powers like China, Russia, and the U.S., potentially straining Central Asian stability.
>Pakistan-India conflict could draw these powers into the region more aggressively to secure their interests, though Russia is busy in Ukraine, Turkey is busy in Syria, and U.S. forces are fighting in the Middle East, and Washington is ready to confront China.
>China is an ally of Pakistan and sponsor of the $65 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). China might deepen its presence in Central Asia to secure trade routes and counterbalance India’s regional influence.
>The United States could focus on Central Asia to counter China and Russia, potentially increasing military or economic aid to Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan, the major economies in the region.
>Afghanistan as a flashpoint. Afghanistan, bordering both Pakistan and Central Asia, would likely become a hotspot. The Afghan Taliban’s support for the Pakistani Taliban, the Tehreek-e-Taliban-e-Pakistan (TTP) could further destabilize Pakistan, presenting Islamabad with the prospect of a two-front war
>Instability would come to Central Asia via Afghanistan in the form of refugees and energized militants, and economic stagnation in the delay of development projects like the Trans-Afghan railway, the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) natural gas pipeline, and the CASA-1000 renewable energy infrastructure construction project.
>General disorder may spill insecurity into Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, where cross-border militancy (e.g., the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), which has pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda, and IS-K could surge.
>And the instability will cause a slowdown in foreign direct investment that has steadily climbed as has foreign trade in goods and accession to bilateral investment treaties. The region’s economy suffered “lost decades” between the start of the Afghan civil war in 1992 and the end of the NATO occupation of Afghanistan in 2021 and has been making steady progress in connecting to the wider world economy; Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are completing the World Trade Organization (WTO) accession process, and Kazakhstan and Tajikistan are WTO members.
>And just in time for a war, the World Bank is predicting economic slowdown for Central Asia: Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan will suffer pronounced declines, Kazakhstan’s decline will be less pronounced, and Uzbekistan’s growth rate will remain steady at 5.9%.
>The U.S. may try to leverage disorder on Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan to pressure the Kabul government, but that risks empowering Al-Qaeda, IS-K, the hardline Taliban faction in Kandahar, or some combination of the three. Disorder in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, the poorest place in Pakistan, may energize the local separatists and draw in bordering Iran which faces a Baloch insurgence on its side of the border.
>Central Asia relies on connectivity projects like CPEC and the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC). A war could disrupt CPEC which links China’s Xinjiang province to Pakistan’s Gwadar port and passes through contested areas like Kashmir. India’s trade routes to Central Asia via Iran and Afghanistan could be jeopardized if conflict escalates or Afghanistan becomes unstable, though if Indian merchantmen are unmolested by Pakistan the impact may be minimized and they will be able to safely dock at Iranian ports.
>India and Pakistan are members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), as are several Central Asian states, and China and Russia. A war could paralyze SCO initiatives, hindering regional security and economic cooperation. Tensions might also exacerbate India-China rivalries within the SCO, affecting Central Asia’s balancing act.https://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/Asia/How-an-India-Pakistan-War-Could-Derail-Central-Asias-Future.htmlhttps://sonar21.com/did-western-intelligence-play-a-role-in-the-latest-terrorist-attack-in-kashmir/https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/05/a-us-or-uk-hidden-hand-how-an-india-pakistan-war-could-derail-central-asias-future.html >>2261934>do they? who specifically? the same military and islamist influences that worked extensively with the US to train mujahideen & shelter al-qaeda, that deposed imran khan & assassinated benazir bhutto.
>all of pakistan?obviously not. are we or are we not allowed to use a countrys recognized name as a shorthand for its ruling class? it might be an improvement if we refuse to do that, but everytime someone talks about seperating the proletariat of a nation from its ruling class they get accused of being CIA "anti-campists", the same way anytime someone talks about practical implications of international politics they get called "multi-polarist."
inb4 someone suggests i somehow have a stake in either of the reactionary nationalist camps of this retarded war besides wanting it to end ASAP, and inb4 someone agrees with me by saying and yes thats why temporarily-embarassed NATO puppet ukraine should be supported >>2261986>military and islamist influences>are we or are we not allowed to use a countrys recognized name as a shorthand for its ruling class?I'm actually not sure who is backing who here but my assumptions have been mostly correct so far and what I'm thinking is that the people funding terrorists are a minor group within the intelligence agencies and officer corps that are doing it without the knowledge of the prime minister.
We could say the same about Ukraine, that its ruled by a Nazi junta, but in that case its not just the rogue azov brigade but also in key positions of power like defense ministry and senators and domestic police.
Thats the reason why I make the distinction, I dont think the whole government apparatus of Pakistan is behind the terrorists like it is with Ukraine. Wiki says Lashkar-e-Taiba is "reportedly" supported by ISI. Is that the whole ISI? How independent is ISI? Does it have blind cells where the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing? Is it likely some are still connected with CIA? Does the legislature have oversight over such funding? Is tolerating jamaat-e-islami parties in elections the same as backing their militant factions?
I read yesterday in reference to Bin Laden that there are parts of Pakistan that are essentially autonomous warlord provinces void of government forces. Do we affiliate their actions with the central government? Do we accept American justifications for invasion based on the inability to control your own population, and what then if this inability is a direct result of and exacerbated and perpetuated by foreign meddling? From my perspective this basically makes Pakistan a failed state and the terrorist attack should have prompted not war but an offer for assistance from India for a collaboration to help get control of their own border, but of course having a stable border country that is developing and receiving investment is not in the interest of Indias own stagnating capitalist class who wishes not to invest in their own country for improvment but rest on their laurels.
>>2261968by the rule of thumb whatever you don't support is what the world must support, and whatever you support is what the world musn't support.
>>2262005have Pakistan ever changed that stance? no? even al-qaeda operated in their region until recently, and now ISIS-K. get real.
>>2262074capu capu capuchino assasino
assasini capuchini
>>2262188>99% of warmongering these ruling classes of these third world shitholes do is just to distract the retards in their country from how shitty a job they are doing ruling the countrywhat? that isnt even exclusive to the third world anyways
also the ukrainian invasion literally had a nearly decade long prelude lmao
>>2261416yeah, no. Palestine doesn't have self determination and a state.
meanwhile Pakis have been a puppet state refime for very imperialist projects.
>>2262227if anything, India would be struck from Afghanistan. What is the Pakis smoking?
>>2262239you will be surprised to know that such a view is not different in Pakistan.
>>2262198I didn't. I was full aware when in 2014 Putin said that if he would wanted, in one week he would be in Warsaw.
There are the "🙂↔️ geopolitical analysis" base, and the 🙂↕️geopolitical analysis", and yes, I was in the first general Ukraine crisis, created during the previous months to the invasion.
