Trump says India, Pakistan can handle Kashmir dispute on their own

2019-08-27

[DAWN] US President Donald Trump

...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
said on Monday that India and Pakistain could handle their dispute over Indian 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....
e on their own, but he was there should they need him.

Trump has previously offered to mediate between India and Pakistain on the contested Himalayan region. New Delhi rejected the offer while Islamabad welcomed it.

He discussed the issue on the sidelines of a G7 summit in La Belle France with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who withdrew special autonomy for occupied Jammu and Kashmir on August 5.

Trump said Modi told him that he had Kashmir under control.

"We spoke last night about Kashmir, prime minister really feels he has it under control. They speak with Pakistain and I'm sure that they will be able to do something that will be very good," the US president told news hounds.

Modi, speaking alongside Trump, said that all issues between New Delhi and Islamabad were "bilateral in nature".

#3 Since the UN the Israeli/Palestine issue and the India/Pakistan issue have festered with no winner because small nations and groups have learned they will be saved from total destruction so why not risk another attack?

The world should stop intervening and we'll learn small nations stop screwing with large nations pretty damn quick. That would stop the bulk of little wars.

#2 Modi's classic reply to newshounds was, "We don't bother other nations with our internal problems."

#1 THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE

About time we stopped meddling in affairs that don't concern us. If anyone wants our input they will ask for it. Such a refreshing change after decades of sticking our nose into everyone's business.
