    And they both have nukes so this ought to be interesting. And I don’t mean the fun kind of interesting.

            And that was a severe miscalculation by the Russian Tsar, since the UK and France had a vested interest in preventing Russian expansion.

            If we look at India v Pakistan, which powers actually care? Neither group is expansionist, and each side’s allies are strained at best. Pakistan is kind of allied to the US, but they pretty much pissed off the US w/ the whole Osama bin Laden thing. India has purchased equipment from Russia, but there’s no way Russia is getting involved in another conflict right now. I don’t know who would actually help either side. If anything, this could end the US/Pakistan alliance, or whatever we’re calling it these days, since the US really doesn’t want to get involved in wars at the moment.

              I feel the US would want to sit this one out or even take the side of India. We do so much business in India, particularly in tech.

              Not to mention our current regime seems to favor Russia so if Russia likes India…

                You don’t need to be level headed or particularly well informed to decide getting involved in a war on the other side of the world isn’t really something you want to do.
