India vs Pakistan | We Have A New War | Updated

Early this morning, the Pakistani government claimed the Indian military had launched missiles at several sites in Pakistan and the Pakistan-administered Kashmir region.

India confirmed this story, claiming it had struck “terrorist infrastructure” in retaliation for the alleged terrorist attack carried out in Pahalgam on April 22nd.

Pakistani officials counter-claimed there were no terrorists or terrorist sites struck, only civilians, and vowed to “respond appropriately”, before shelling areas of India-controlled Kashmir.

…and so we have a new war.

A brand new theatre of “global conflict” has opened up, and theatre is the only word for it.

It is the first armed conflict between two supposed nuclear powers, and nobody much seems to mind. It is yet another example of the total society-wide amnesia regarding the “mutually assured destruction” principle.

Further, there seem to be no perceivable victory conditions or reason for being.

The terrorist attack was – as most “terrorist attacks” are – somewhere between entirely pointless and 100% counterproductive in terms of mission goals.

Those allegedly responsible have yet to be apprehended or even publicly identified. No evidence of any link to Pakistan has been publicly presented either. It seems to have been a totally random act of violence, conducted by persons unknown for no reason at all,

Like a badly written movie reaching for an inciting incident.

And while the “nukes aren’t real” people are probably rubbing their hands with glee at this fresh evidence, an alternative explanation would be that we’re being presented with another war, which seems to have pre-arranged rules of engagement.

Remember the humanitarian “pause” in Israel’s bombing of Gaza to allow a Polio vaccination drive? Recall how, for a startlingly long time, Russia was still shipping gas to the EU through Ukraine, and still paying Ukraine for their trouble? Or how Iran carefully warned the US about their planned “retaliation” for the death of General Qasem Soleimani, ensuring they killed no Americans at all?

We’re bombarded with wars and conflicts that make no sense on their own terms, and at the very least seem to be contested according to pre-arranged conditions and agreements.

The moment a “war” has rules and boundaries, then clearly it’s not an existential struggle; it is at best a political bargaining tactic and at worst…something else.

Honestly, at this point, even if this fresh war is reported to become a nuclear confrontation, can we believe that?

A “limited nuclear engagement” – staged, one way or another – would be a great way to scare people into accepting some kind new global world order to “prevent future conflicts” that “pose a threat to the planet”.

For a brief while, it appeared as if India and Pakistan, two nuclear-armed nations, were trembling on the brink of a hot war. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced that the two countries have reached a ceasefire. ~ AmericanThinker.com | Andrea Widburg

Second Update: May 11 2025

Hostilities between India and Pakistan look set to resume after a US-brokered truce was apparently violated within hours.

On Saturday, a truce was announced between the two nations, who have come close to all-out war after a devastating terrorist attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir, which India has blamed on Pakistan. The truce was hailed by President Trump on social media, who credited his administration with bringing the fighting to a halt.

Hours later, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said Pakistani forces were violating the terms of the ceasefire. There were reports of blasts and gunfire in the disputed region.

“For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening between the directors general of military operations of India and Pakistan,” India’s Foreign Secretary said in an update shared after 11 pm New Delhi time.

 “This is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today.”

“The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations, and we take very, very serious notice of these violations,” he continued.

“We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility.”

After the ceasefire was initially concluded, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared “victory” over India, which he claimed had been the aggressor.

“India, because they are so proud, they just tried their best to attack our borders through drone attacks, through missiles, and they have also taken innocent lives. They have destroyed mosques,” he said.

“They wanted to target all those places that were very precious to us, and we then decided we were going to retaliate in the same way.”

Fighting began on May 7, with India launching air strikes in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir and Pakistan against infrastructure New Delhi claimed had been used in the terrorist attack.

At present, the death toll from the fighting stands at around 60.

India and Pakistan have clashed a number of times since their creation in 1947 as a result of the partition of British India. Both nations have nuclear weapons.
