But it started with the Sunni Shia divide that exists in Yemen

no, not really.

That’s why Yemen was better split

It started because Iran attempted to use Yemen as another proxy, from which it could encircle Saudi Arabia.

Saudi and Persia didn’t just cause a war in Yemen for the fuck of it. They exploited the turmoil after the Arab spring

But Iran exploited the Shia community

Yep, they did.

That doesn't imply very much.

Iran has attempted to the same in Pakistan for years, and has failed repeatedly.

Well Pakistan is technically an American Ally and is much larger

the sunni shia infightig is just deception to further their movemnets \

its as old as the fall of meccan

Although in my view the us should abandon Pakistan and Afghanistan and support India to undermine China

refugees made a pact were allowed to move in after conflict. 2 years later these refugees took over meccan with the help of an outside army

the men from meccan were butchered, the women and childern devided allong mohammads men

lol, not gonna happen. India is firmly a Russian ally.

meccan came know as mecca

and the US was never a Pakistani ally. The Afghans would very much like for the us to 'abandon' them.

They buy both American and Russian. If America totally threw Pakistan under the bus they could lean to the U.S

They bought Russian S-400's? Pretty much their entire Air Force consists of Russian-manufactured airplanes.

And India has already bought a Russian Aircraft Carrier too.

They are a failed state. The us should fully support India in the Kashmir issue and embargo China but not India to undermine China and win over India. And on your point India do but some American. There a regional powerhouse so they don’t need to be a puppet of anyone

>regional powerhouse

>india

If you were the Indian government with American bases in Pakistan you would buy Russian. It’s the sensible thing to do

By 2030 India’s population will overtake China. A few decades after that it’s likely their GDP will too

>The us should fully support India in the Kashmir issue and embargo China but not India to undermine China and win over India.

Ehh, not gonna happen. The issue is strictly between Pakistan and India, an accord (Simla agreement) was signed back in the 1970s. China? Maybe, but that's only due to the nation's proximity.

So yeah, a bilateral issue.

I know The is won’t do it but it would be the smart thing to do. Although I have to say my bad on this one. We should have had a religiously secular state of the raj

So for that I’ll swallow my pride that was Britain’s fault

>By 2030 India’s population will overtake China. A few decades after that it’s likely their GDP will too
Unlikely, China's GDP is much larger and India's growth rate is not going to be enough to match China.

>By 2030 India’s population will overtake China. A few decades after that it’s likely their GDP will too

False. India will never overtake China. All indicators point towards a slowing/stagnant India. A study done by an Indian advisor to Modi has found that Indian government has exaggerated their economic growth. A 3-4% annual growth is more exact, not the 7% figure given by the Indian government.

Even with those exaggerated figures in mind, India is no longer the fastest growing economy.

China’s economy is based on a primary and secondary economy. As it westernises company’s costs will rise. We saw it in the USA. They will move from China to India

Its economics

Holy fucking shit. Big news.

The UK* and France overtook them.

as per the recent figures released by the World Bank

Well GDP does fluctuate. We are nearing a global recession so a flicker in the chart doesn’t mean that much
