I'm glad CNN decided not to report on this and instead has a headline about how Michael Cohen will confirm today that the president is racist.

Apparently he also has copies of a cancelled check Trump gave him. So there is that.

If you haven't already learned this, US news media is completely useless. BBC World is your best TV news source in this country. Well that and PBS Newshour.

When it comes to written journalism, there are still some good sources, but you have to scour through a lot of muck to find them.

Michael Cohen has seen the light and the President will be indicted on Premeditated Racism. This will be added on to the the earlier indictments of Homophobia With Intent and Strong Arm Misogyny

Yes.

Back on track: I hope that we do not enter nuclear war.

I think the larger issue with US journalism is that the "journalists" aren't informed enough to even write about serious issues like India and Pakistan. I'd wager 9 out of 10 "journalists" can't tell you what the Kargil War was. If you can't answer that, then how the hell do you write about what is happening today?

You really begin to lose faith in journalism as a profession when you see constant errors made regarding basic facts of a topic. I guess that's what happens when the piece is written by some churnalist in a NY office who hasn't ever been to the Middle East or South Asia.

One of my favorites was a Vox article 5 years ago where they claimed there was a bridge between Gaza and the West Bank. If you get something like that wrong, how can I trust anything else you write about the topic?

My last continuation of this aside... Yes, to the bolded part. They are more about takes, narratives and goals.

Not sure why you are posting on this I have been assured by a highly educated expert that this is not a big deal.

The US media is pathetic, but part of the problem is the general illiteracy about history in general. Certainly a tiny percentage of the population has any idea about that part of the world or its history. Other than Julie of course. She told us Pakistan is a highly liberal country that gets a bad rap. Send cricket equipment and this will resolve itself.

This "highly educated expert" has got a $1,000 which says they don't drop the bomb? What say you? Guarantee that he calls an audible shortly.

Maybe I should partake in those air raid drills from elementary school since it is obvious they I am receiving quite the elementary school education right about now.

What was it "drill" "drop" "roll"?

On the Indian side, we have seen some videos posted to twitter of rail cars moving heavy armor. Mainly T-72s

And the audible has been predictably called. Let's try another approach. What makes you think that there will be a nuclear exchange?

This is really starting to lok bad from a local point of view. The Arabian world will not let the Paks go down easy as they have been shipping them a ton of cash to keep them afloat. The Paks are the largest source of manpower for the Gulf States.
Indian kinda has China backing them up in a backwards ass way.
Our closest CVBG is about a day or so away. We still have the MSC in Bahrain and Diego Garcia. As I said before I do not see us helping the Paks out anymore.

T-72s surprises me. I did not know or must have forgotten that India was so into buying old Soviet stuff.

Do you have a one sentence answer why this is escalating this week?

This is completely inaccurate. China and India are regional rivals. Pakistan on the other hand has China's backing. If China were to intervene (they won't other than diplomatically) they would be fare more likely to do so on Pakistan's side.

As for the Gulf States, they are taking a "we don't care approach." MBS actually visited both countries just last week so they aren't picking sides here.

As for US equipment, we aren't sending shit. We have never intervened in these wars in any means other than diplomatically and that will continue. This is completely not our fight and our only interest here is a deescalation and deconfliction by both sides.

Suicide bomber from a terror group being harbored by Paksitan blew up 40+ Indian soldiers nearly 2 weeks ago.

The T72s were on the Indian side, I just didn't have the video on hand to post.
