What is incomprehensible is the failure to connect the cost of all these wars, even the immediate cost, never mind further out, to our financial problems, literally the cost of imported plowshares.
Marginal food production in A India and Pakistan coupled with the already existing low-level military actions could very easily tip into outright war with the always present danger of escalation into a nuclear exchange.
And then what does China do? Allied with Pakistan, they have a strong 'tug' to enter the conflict. Would they? And if they do then what happens.?
