Trump Says India And Pakistan Agreed To "Full & Immediate Ceasefire"

[Swordsmyth]

India and Pakistan, both nuclear-armed nations, appeared to be spiraling toward broader conflict on Saturday, setting the stage for another day of scary headlines that could trigger World War III. But just moments ago, President Trump announced on Truth Social that India and Pakistan have "agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE."

"After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE," Trump said.

The president continued, "Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Yup. He sent mediators.

Thought these were a couple of Mickey Mouse crap holes.

All of a sudden there's fighter jets, missiles, drones...

Here's an article written in 2019, discussing the ramifications of a hypothetical nuclear war between Pakistan and India in 2025...

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aay5478

Pakistan and India may have 400 to 500 nuclear weapons by 2025 with yields from tested 12- to 45-kt values to a few hundred kilotons.

If India uses 100 strategic weapons to attack urban centers and Pakistan uses 150, fatalities could reach 50 to 125 million people, and nuclear-ignited fires could release 16 to 36 Tg of black carbon in smoke, depending on yield.

The smoke will rise into the upper troposphere, be self-lofted into the stratosphere, and spread globally within weeks.

Surface sunlight will decline by 20 to 35%, cooling the global surface by 2° to 5°C and reducing precipitation by 15 to 30%, with larger regional impacts.

Recovery takes more than 10 years. Net primary productivity declines 15 to 30% on land and 5 to 15% in oceans threatening mass starvation and additional worldwide collateral fatalities.

Whats he saying?

Whats he saying?

He's saying that Trump's self-aggrandizement came across as a paternalistic power thinking India and Pakistan are a couple of kindergartners for them to straighten out.

Which is a perfectly predictable reaction. Diplomacy involves knowing when to shut the hell up and refuse to rock the boat.

Trump is a threat to the deal. Obviously, he and the Deep State hate peace wherever it breaks out. Which leaves all the partisans wondering...

There's such a thing as a non-absolute bunk? Either you can sleep in it or you can't.
