IMO this is where the highest chance of nuclear war happening in the world.

If Pakistan and India launch nukes at each other China will immediately invade Russia. Why? Because India, Pakistan, and China all get a huge amount of their water from the Himalayan Mountains. Water, not oil, is what the world will go to war over.

 

India Warned of 'Act of War' By Pakistan As Relations Collapse

Pakistan warned India on Thursday that it was committing an "act of war" by suspending a landmark water-sharing treaty in response to a deadly terror attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir.

...

Parts of the disputed Kashmir region are administered by both India and Pakistan, but they both claim control of the area in its entirety. The two nuclear armed neighbors have fought over the territory since 1947, with the birth of India and Pakistan as independent states.

On Tuesday, the Resistance Front (TRF)—an offshoot of Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist organization—claimed responsibility for the attack, accusing the tourists of attempting to 'settle illegally'."

Pakistan has denied any links to Tuesday's attack, and India hasn't publicly released any evidence that proves its neighbor conducted it.

Pakistan on Thursday also announced the closure of its airspace to India; suspended all trade with the country; suspended with immediate effect all visas issued to Indian nationals under an exemption scheme; reduced to 30 the number of diplomats in the Indian High Commission in Islamabad; and asked Indian defense, naval and air advisers to leave Pakistan before April 30.

India's attempts to link the attack with Pakistan are "frivolous, devoid of rationality and defeat logic," Islamabad said, describing India's sweeping diplomatic measures as "unilateral, unjust, politically motivated, extremely irresponsible and devoid of legal merit."

On Wednesday, India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh pledged "not only trace those who perpetrated the attack but also trace those who conspired to commit this nefarious act on our soil" as he hinted at military strikes.

Water Treaty Suspended
India said it would suspend the landmark Indus Waters Treaty—a decades-old water-sharing agreement that has endured two wars and a major border conflict in 1999. Brokered by the World Bank in 1960, the treaty has allowed the two countries to share the waters of river system, and is vital for agriculture.

Pakistan's National Security Committee said any attempt suspend the treaty "will be considered as an Act of War."

Both countries commit massive human rights violations against their own citizens. Not sure picking which religion is better is the right move here.

 

Sounds exactly like what Hamas did.
