These people are so stupid. Pakistan has nukes. You can't win. It's so absurd

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Even just in the conventional sphere, they splashed like 3 jets and who knows how many drones, and I haven't heard about any Pakistani losses

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah if Pakistan just fought a defensive war then it probably wouldn't even get to the nuclear stage

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Does anybody have a halfway decent source for India Pakistan stuff.

According to reddit India is doing almost as well as ukraine was at the beginning of the invasion. India had already totally wiped out Pakistans air force without losing a single troop or piece of equipment and every single gle thing Pakistan has claimed has been a lie according to them.

Crazy how these massive conflicts are always so totally one sided.

Is there a reason Reddit would side with one over the other? With Ukraine there's the obvious Russia Bad explanation, is it cuz Pakistan is more Muslim than India?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Justbfrom seeing what pops up on r/all seems like there's a disproportionate Indian population on reddit.

Disproportionate from the standpoint of an American website I mean. Obviously all other things being equal you'd expect to see a significant amount of Indian people anywhere. But I see multiple subreddits specifically about India showing up on main, and half the time when it's in English it's some of the most racist shit I've ever seen on reddit.

is it cuz Pakistan is more Muslim than India?

Yeah, redditors are nazis

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And because India is more hostile to China than Pakistan

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't India the I in BRICS?

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Yup, but has a border dispute with China and China openly sells and develops weapons that have just thoroughly embarrassed India on the world stage. Im surprised there wasnt my more diplomatic fallout like when people found out HMS Prince of Wales was sank by an Argentinian Exocet missile produced in France.

There’s no perfect single source that I’ve found because of the total flood of mis/disinfo. The telegram account below had a pretty reasonable position imo but you might have to scroll back. Also @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net in the news mega. Seems like Reddit is being astroturfed because India are the ones who their jets shot down, not Pakistan

Yea i knew about the planes getting shot down its what made me realize reddit was worse than useless on the topic.

48 hours of headlines trickling in and it was "India claims to have wiped out Pakistan entire AA infrastructure"

"Pakistan claims it shot down jets"

"Iindia insists that no jets were shot down and that all posted videos are from previous events, India didn't lose any jets and destroyed a punch of Pakistan infrastructure"

"Multiple independant sources including the manufacturer of the jets and the country that supplied the jets confirm the jets were shot down"

"No jets were shot down and anybody who says otherwise is a terrorist" - worldnews

Strikingly similar to how ukraine has been 48 hours from victory and Russia has been on the eve of total collapse for 3 years now while in reality Russia has just made slow continuous progress for almost the entire time.

Reddit IS astroturfed by the largest astroturfing operation in history called the BJP IT Cell.

[–] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

I tried to make some sense of things, you can read my comment here on the situation.

In short, Pakistan won the first round shooting down four Indian jets, India won the second round inflicting a disproportionate amount of damage on Pakistan military bases and storage facilities.

According to reddit India is doing almost as well as ukraine was at the beginning of the invasion.

welp guess im pro pakistan now

[–] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No downside to this line of thinking. I mean two nuclear armed states having a bit of mutually assured genocide? Galaxy brain time y'all

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Carl Sagan, the Oracle of our times, said

The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.

[–] eyyImwalkin@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

as long as Pakistan keeps their targets to North India only good can come from this

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

Good luck trying that with the arsenal Pakistan has.....

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We need to just gather up everyone who thinks like this, put 'em on an island with a crap ton of knives, and let nature take its course.

with what planes? The Indian air force seems to run on a doctrine straight out of WW2
