WWIII:

Pakistan + China Vs. India + Vietnam

... which is making Pakistan shiat its pants, creating a mess the U.S. has committed itself to cleaning up.

/thanks, India

i'm more pissed off on the fact we missed the boat selling India arms. Holy shiat is that a hot market.

"Dear Sirs:

It is with considerable vexation that I note the flagrant increase in militarized natives afoot in the Raj. While I am all for the Empire spreading its values of democracy, fair treatment and floggings across God's own globe, we must NOT allow our Lessers to feel empowered by the presence of firearms. Once such items are out in the 'wild' -- shall we say -- it takes not an inconsiderable effort to put Pandora back into her box (sort to speak). I shall be sending a stern note to the House of Lords forethwith.

That explains why Gandhi has been trying to extort tribute from me the last few turns.

We are properly leaving Pakistan for India. Hell, we should be behind India 100% in the modern world. A balance to unstable Pakistan, and a regional ally against China, plus they're somewhat Anglicized. They're a perfect ally.

Great! Let them do it. Can we please sit this one out?

Do you have an Open Borders Agreement with him? Better send some spies to go sit on his Iron mines in case of hostilities.

Furthermore, the Chicken Vindaloo is extraordinary.

In all seriousness, though, we should be in close with India, I quite agree.

No, no, no, that's not right, we don't need to choose sides.

The threat of nuclear materials security and regional terrorism caused by insecurity in Pakistan is a greater immediate and physical threat to the United States than probably anything else out there. In order to solve that threat, part of the solution will eventually have to involve getting the Indians and the Pakistanis to a position of trust at the negotiating table, so they can talk down their nuclear ambitions.

Weighing in on the Indian side abruptly reduces the chances that will ever happen. Because the U.S. is so scared of pissing off the Indians, they won't even take an active role in bringing the two back to talks over Kashmir. Compare, for example, the role of the United States in mediating conflicts elsewhere and you'll immediately see the level of deference afforded the Indians is both unique and bewilderingly counter-productive.

Besides, there is no need to engage the Indians in order to build up a regional counter-weight against China. The Indians will balance against China by default, there is no need to encourage them to do so.

The White House has been quietly waging the toughest-ever campaign on undocumented immigrants. As of October, almost 1.2 million people had been deported under the Obama administration, compared with about 1.5 million over the eight years of George W. Bush's presidency. The administration has also been cracking down on the employers of illegal immigrants. Twice as many businesses were investigated in the first year of the Obama administration as in the last year of Bush's term.

And these facts the GOP really hopes you keep missing.

God damn it Sock Ruh Tease.

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

If it's anything like their tech support, I won't be worrying about it any time soon.

Navies are obsolete.

So basically, Pakistan and India are both unstable as fark with powerful armies, a bunch of violent dissident factions domestic and foreign, and a rise in global piracy.
At least historians will have something fun to write about if they live.

Chicken vindaloo sucks. Indian food in general sucks. The only food coming out of India that's good was brought by the Mughals (tandoori chicken, kabobs, naan, biryani) who were Muslim conquerers.

|While we are at it, India sucks too. India will never fark with Pakistan because China has our back. Which is great when you have bullies like the US and India teaming up on you. Plus Indians are big time pussies and will never fark with Pakistan. If they were going to they would have after the Mumbai attacks which they planned themselves.

Nah they are too scared of China to attack Pakistan, and so are you Americans.

I wait for the day that America as a nation falls, and that day is soon coming.

India and Pakistan have been threatening each other with nuclear annihilation for decades. Time to invade Kanada for supplying them both with CanDu nuke reactors.

/How to invade Canada: All U.S. citizens are to move 300 miles north. There you just invaded Canada. Have a nice time.

And also the increasingly powerful drug cartels.

I don't trust a man what won't tipple a brewski.

From the article:
"India is now the world's largest weapons importer, according to a 2011 report by arms watchdog SIPRI, accounting for 9 percent of the world's international arms transfers -- most from Russia -- between 2006 and 2010. India will spend an estimated $80 billion on military modernization programs by 2015, according to an estimate from the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. "

Meanwhile.....

Poverty is widespread in India, with the nation estimated to have a third of the world's poor. According to a 2005 World Bank estimate, 41.6% of the total Indian population falls below the international poverty line of US$ 1.25 a day (PPP, in nominal terms ₹ 21.6 a day in urban areas and ₹ 14.3 in rural areas).[1] A recent report by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative states that 8 Indian states have more poor than 26 poorest African nations combined which totals to more than 410 million poor in the poorest African countries.

Probably not, but I was focusing on how the GOP will have a tough time painting the Obama Administration as being soft on immigration if these kinds of facts hit the mainstream.

You forgot to add that they both Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons.
Though, in the grand scheme of things, I guess that's better than the pirates having them.

India's always had a big army. It's a great career for the average Indian - a steady wage and free housing.

Maud Dib: And the Indians can drink beer.

Do they drink IPAs? I didn't actually think so, but I'll admit I haven't met all of India.

I believe that is copypasta from a story from a month ago.

IIRC, it's from a real letter from a century ago that prompted the authorities to install proper toilets either in trains or train stations in India. The original letter was being kept in an Indian museum.

They're not that dangerous, though. They can't kill you until you're red.

The solution to #2 is obvious. Surrender Europe to the Brits, let them rule it for a few years then fight a war of independence and set up a new United States of Europe.
