China India conflict
Looks like the Chinese are flexing their muscles again, as if there wasn't enough to worry about. One has to wonder, is there a master plan at work ?

They are going to eventually own the world's economy.

It could be very dangerous conflict if two countries with combined population of 2.7 billion souls want to go at each other.

Oh Im sure Trump will save the day. US always has to stick their nose into every single conflict that happens around the world. Most people are tired of that attitude.

Chinese keep encroaching on Kashmir, Indians somewhat accidentally gave away part of it at one time, quite a number of Kashmiri folk like the Communist way, and the Pakistanis keep at trying to absorb it, as a good number like the Islamic way, and Pakistan wants control over the river, and the native Kashmiri, for the most part, don't want anything much to do with any of the three of them. That sounds like a recipe for a disaster one of these days. Was watching a documentary on it a couple of wks back, it is a clusterflop of the first order around there.

Pioneer, sorry forgot about the other third party. Almost 50% of world population could be involved in that conflict without Trump sticking his nose into it.

I don't think you would like to see what a map of the world would be like if it hadn't been for the US sticking their nose in it over the decades.

Fair enough. Would be nice to see other countries step up instead its always got to be the mighty US.

No big deal here. They had spats in 1962 and 1967 and now they are taking the diplomatic route. Good thing too with the two having nuclear weapons as well as Pakistan, who would likely side with China in a serious event.

Peace in our time
Chamberlain and Hitler talked and signed an non-aggression pact.That worked out well didn't it.No big deal.The Silk Road is more about access to Middle Eastern oil and troop routes to keep it.The Chinese have an appointment to keep in Jerusalem.

In the neighbourhood except India would get into a border skirmish.North Vietnam learned their lesson after China took a 30km hike into their territory.

2020 Bingo
Who else had a "war between nuclear powers" for June? My card is filling up fast. 
Reports of hand to hand fighting during a border skirmish between India and China resulted in 20 dead Indian soldiers, with more succumbing to their injuries due to the high altitude and low temperatures. China has not confirmed the number of casualties they sustained.
