Stalins Organ Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Looks like another chapter in the on-going border tension following their war in the 60's - it is always of concern when countries with total populations of over 2 billion start talking tough at each other - but no-one is going to launch an actual invasion over the Himalayas in either direction! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 it is always of concern when countries with total populations of over 2 billion start talking tough at each other Exactly. We all remember what happened last time. but no-one is going to launch an actual invasion over the Himalayas in either direction! No, but they could start lobbing nuclear tipped weapons over the Himalayas. in either direction. It's highly unlikely though. I feel sorry for the poor sods who've spent the last couple of weeks at ~4,000m living in a tent. That's gotta suck :eek: And all so their boss can gain a few pecker points :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Exactly. We all remember what happened last time. we do?? not sure I do.....it was in 1962 and I dont' think I was really paying much attention, but Wiki tells me a couple of thousand soldiers died and the Indian minister of Defence had to resign due to their poor performance, while on the global political stage China seems to have lost oa little prestige, became more closely aligned with Pakistan (or vice versa), and India had a rallying call to help national unity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 we do?? Well ... no. I'm fairly certain that two "countries with total populations of over 2 billion" haven't ever previously "start(ed) talking tough at each other". So, actually, it's never been a concern 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
