'Trump told not to take Kashmir issue lightly as two nuclear armed states involved'
[DAWN] Foreign Minister Shah Mahmmod Qureshi ‐ after a meeting of a Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders...
-led Pak delegation with US President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
on Monday ‐ briefed the media that Trump's attention had been drawn "to the other side of the story" (that of India-occupied Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
).

Talking to news hounds in New York, the foreign minister said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been showing only one side of the story to the world, while the Pak side showed Trump the other side.

"Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to portray that the matter of Indian Kashmire is not an issue and that the situation will become normal in a few days. We are trying to convince them [the US government] that the issue is complicated and has been becoming more complicated with each passing day."

"We told President Trump not to take the matter of Kashmir lightly. If the US remains unconcerned, if the global community remains unconcerned, two nuclear armed states are facing off and the situation can take an ugly turn," he said, adding that the Pak side "sensitised US President Trump completely" over the issue.

Talking about the issue of human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
abuses in occupied Kashmir, he said that he himself told Trump that all fundamental rights of the people are being violated in occupied Kashmir.

#3 Underestimate Trump at your own peril. He is dealing with mental children. All they offer are the wailing tantrums of children.

#5 The Pakistanis are about to discover that nukes, while useful for deterring another power from nuking them, doesn't confer any offensive advantage against a nuclear-armed power. A nuclear exchange means millions dead. No Pakistani leader is going start a nuclear war *and* end up losing anyway, in the conventional war to follow, which may even see Pakistan broken up - again, into even smaller components.

#6 Besides, even if Allah intervened directly and Pakistan won Kashmir, it's not clear that the electorate would be in a mood to celebrate a victory that left their cities irradiated and millions rotting in the streets.

#9 This reminds me of the scene in "Blazing Saddles" where the sheriff takes himself hostage by holding a gun to his head.

#10 The military has found greater acceptance for its 'cold start' doctrine of gradated assault and expansion with the current political leadership. The problem with Indian leadership was that their ambitions were just too self-obsessed and limited. There also hasn't been any suggestion by economist eggheads or party strategists for expansion-related positives yet. So the military keeps proposing options to the successive PMs every few years, and getting non-committal replies like 'Let the time come' and 'Yes, we'll take that under advisement'.

Suffice to say that so far India has only played defence with them. The day we undertake an offensive, it'll be because we have planned it to the end.

#11 Why should we be worried about it? I for one would not give two shits if India nuked Pakistain.

#12 I have more faith in the Indians rockets taking their payloads to target and their nukes actually working. I hope it doesn't happen, just saying.

Also it's not really the US's business.

#15 If the Jihadi's in Pakistan get a hold of nuclear bombs or even materials they won't hesitate to take it to the Great Satan, that is the US. If it looks like the Pak's are going to lose security on their nuke set up perhaps we she drop nukes/FAOAB's then blame India.
