The extremely dangerous conflict between the two nuclear powers escalated. The world needs to intervene. You can do it.

comment by Georg Mascolo

Some of the conflicts in the world are so old that only a crisis-reminiscent-like escalation because of how dangerous they actually are, all the time. And how catastrophic they can. Just the two atomic shooting powers, India and Pakistan again, two Indian Jets should be brought to light from the sky. Earlier, the Indian air force had bombed on Pakistani soil an alleged training camp of a terrorist organization. This will, in turn, made for a stop in the Indian part of Kashmir responsible for the on 14. February 44 Indian policemen were killed.

cashmere is the most bitterly disputed province, which led the two rivals since 1947, three wars. The high country in the Himalayas called the former US President Bill Clinton “the most dangerous place in the world”. Clinton intervened in his term of office once, because Pakistan wanted to prepare, according to a report by the secret service, the CIA already has its nuclear weapons for possible deployment.

Quick relaxation is not to be expected

So far, it is not, after all, what you know already. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan warned now, both sides could afford, given “the weapons you have, no miscalculation”. That sounds reassuring. And yet there is a lack of adequate diplomatic efforts to this Endless resolve the crisis.

Both countries claim Kashmir for itself, the open hostility between India and Pakistan has its cause in the dispute. It is a crucial reason why two countries, in which 1.5 billion people live, massively upgraded, and nuclear weapons. Now the conflict has brought the two armored forces, once again, to the brink of war. Perhaps he just breaks even from. Fast relaxation is not to be expected, in India, is elected in April, and the re-election of Prime Minister Narendra modi wants to demonstrate strength. The Hindu-nationalism-setting modes has already threatened with retaliation “for each spilt drop of blood”.

the First objective must be to avoid a further escalation. Actually, both sides have no interest in it. But no one wants to appear weak. Twitter diplomacy heats up the thing. Indian Considerations, to reduce the water inflow in the direction of Pakistan also. So the world community needs to mobilize – as in previous cases – resources for conflict resolution. Not only the United States. But also China, which has close economic relations with Pakistan and significant influence. The Prime Minister, Khan has to be judged on whether its military and its intelligence services finally end the decades-long support of terrorist groups. Chancellor Angela Merkel has a good wire to use modes. You should use it.

In these days US President Donald Trump in Vietnam, and efforts to end the conflict on the North Korean Peninsula. The is almost as old as the rivalry on the roof of the world. To find a solution for this – might finally be more than a truce before the next weapons speed would be worth the effort.
