Will Pakistan and India go to war in the 2020s?

[Ronaldo7]

So I just found an article talking about a hypothetical scenario where Pakistan and India go to war in 2025.

A part of the article:
"To help evaluate the consequences of a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan, table S1 provides a specific scenario for a war assumed to take place in 2025. Although this scenario has Pakistan first launching nuclear weapons, we do not mean to imply that they are more likely to do this than India. Because large numbers of weapons are assumed to be used by both sides, we would expect our results to be similar no matter how the war started. Moreover, we would expect the global outcomes projected here to apply equally well—with relevant recalibration for weapon sizes and targets and related smoke emissions—to any nuclear conflict between nuclear-armed states that involves a corresponding total yield detonated essentially in urban areas."

It's an interesting read.

Middle East has more chance of leading upto WW3 than a war between India vs Pakistan. Both sides know the economic impact and even if there are no 3rd party, I don't think it will escalate to full blown war.

Small conflicts are however not out of equation but those will be a localized.

In next election, the racist and bigoted RSS/BJP/hindutva government will need a bigger conflict against a Muslim country to appease the nationalist Hindu majority than the one they tried to create in last election.

Feel sad for the poor Indian soldiers who have to give up their lives for bigoted and racist ideology.

Yes we will go to war with that lot no doubt about it at all. Other countries will get involved as well in this Ghazwa-e-Hind battle.

NO. It’s just a figment of your imagination.

i think so.

india has more protests than iran. indian economy is falling and they need to conquer and exploit kashmir for more resources, india will definitely try to snatch pak occupied kashmir.

and all western powers, excluding russia are backing india.

i believe there is more of chance of indo-pak war than there is of another conflict in the middle east.blood out of syria and iraq have been sucked already and turmoil can not get any worse than it already is.

First India must protect Arunachal Pradesh from China.

Both India and Pakistan know that any kind of war is futile and will not resolve any issue. The blow a lot of hot air just to appease the right wing and religious zealots on both sides.

Only innocent soldiers who are sent to front lines will be losers in this.

They went to war 3 times since independence. What exactly did either country achieve other than loss of life?
