Are all of our customer service phone lines over there hardened against 1960 grade H-bombs?
Deep beneath the sea, the internet is nukeproof, this would be a nuclear war live on youtube.
Finally. This is what I was born into this timeline for.

GO GO GO GO Pakistan!

Three major news stories today, the media focuses on the least important of the three, and focuses the least on the most important of the three.

Have you seen this ceremony from the border in Punjab? Some serious blowing of-of steam going on.

Due to terrain, neither side can bring decisive force to bear in the Kashmir.

Thus it is a persistently contested battle space.

Unless and until it escalates to the high seas, it's not really going anywhere.

If when it escalates to the high seas, that is the shit hitting the fan.

Last time they fought in the Kargil War, it started to escalate to the high seas.

At which point they called it off. So they are aware.

First a torpedo goes under keel, next comes the nuclear depth charge.

Do not pass go, unless you are going all the way.

They're not going to nuke each over Kashmir, they can fight there indefinitely.

But like I say, last time it took about two weeks of fighting in Kashmir, before India started to escalate at sea.

At which point, cooler heads prevailed.

There's nothing of strategic value in Kashmir. It is a frozen mountain range.

India however, holds a strategic Sword of Damocles over Pakistan's lifeline from the sea lanes.

Pakistan holds a nuclear deterrent to offset that.

India holds a bigger and badder nuclear deterrent to offset Pakistan's.

This is what an escalatory ladder looks like.

Stage one lateral escalation would be from the Kashmir to the sea lanes.

Stage two lateral escalation would be from the sea lanes to the United Nations Security Council.

Stage three lateral escalation would be from the United Nations Security Council to the United States National Command Authority.

At this juncture, watch and wait, for stage one lateral escalation.

Focus on what the Indian Navy is doing.

When the Indian Navy puts to sea in force, that is the shit starting to hit the fan.

Just two steps up from there, and it is at the Biscuit in Donald J. Trump's pocket.
