So Have a Super Sparkly Day

So, my pucker factor went up:

Imran Khan, the newly elected prime minister of Pakistan, has proved himself very much a tool of the Pakistani military. Khan openly and enthusiastically supports the Islamic terrorist violence in Indian Kashmir and denies any Pakistani responsibility for it. The Pakistani military can now do whatever they like without any risk of criticism from Pakistani politicians. The new head of the ISI is noted for his enthusiastic support for Islamic radicalism and the use of Islamic terrorism against India. There is a dark side to all of this, even for the Pakistanis. Indian leaders are running out of options and are seriously talking of raids and air strikes against Islamic terrorist facilities just across the border in Pakistani Kashmir. If that happens Pakistan says it will also escalate and that it the direction this is headed.

A war could break out between two nuclear powers.

And our supply lines to Afghanistan--where Pakistan wages war against us by backing jihadis there--go through Pakistan which could be a war zone.

Is it fake news if something dangerous simply isn't discussed much in the media?
