If we're lucky at no point in time, you know, the good news is we've been here before with India and Pakistan. And, you know, the two countries have a history of skirmishes and conflicts and all out wars. And both of them have had nuclear weapons for a few decades now. And.

Fortunately, none of these conflicts have produced any kind of nuclear exchange, and my expectation is that this one will not either. But anytime you have two countries at each other's throats with nukes pointing at each other, you've got to be a little more sensitive and take a little bit more care with how you observe and try to manage that conflict than you do with non-nuclear powers.

Yeah, and we'll try to keep it very top line because you could easily spend a few hours on this, but essentially when the British gave up control of India in the late 1940s, there was a very traumatic split where the vast majority of the Muslims in the Indian subcontinent went to what would become Pakistan and the vast majority of Hindus stayed in what eventually became India.

But there was a territory between them that they both claimed, named Kashmir, that essentially produced a conflict over this disputed territory right at inception, right at independence, alongside a very bloody partition and my mass migration of Muslims to Pakistan and Hindus to India.

But this territory remained disputed ever since independence in 1947, ever since their first conflict there in the late 1940s, moving on to a second conflict over Kashmir in 1965, a third in 1971, a more minor war over Kashmir in 1999.

Und jetzt eine Reihe von Terrorist-Attacken und dann indischen militärischen Unterdrückungen, die in Intensität hervorgehoben sind, wohl seit 2016, als das Modi-Gewerbe in Kraft kam und sagte, dass wir diese Terrorist-Attacken in Kashmir nicht mehr akzeptieren werden, die wir von Pakistan sehen. We spent several decades essentially diplomatically protesting these terrorist attacks.

But, you know, this is a new India, a rising India, a more powerful and confident India. And now we're going to strike back. And so since 2016, we've seen this series of sort of escalating Indian military responses zu diesen verschiedenen terroristischen Angriffen, aber das ist ein Buchend auf 65 Jahre von Konflikten über Kashmir zwischen Indien und Pakistan.
