India & Pakistan Prepare for War - Joe Blogs [View all]



In this video I discuss the rising tension between India and Pakistan and ask the question as to whether it could lead to War in 2025? India and Pakistan both have claims over the disputed Kashmir region and this has resulted in multiple conflicts over the past 70 years. On 22 April, 26 Indians were killed in a terrorist attack in the Indian part of Kashmir. India has accused Pakistan of being involved and as a result have closed the border and suspended the Indus Water Treaty. The suspension of this Treaty could have massive implications for Pakistan as 30% of its electricity is generated from Hydro power using this water and millions of people are reliant upon the water for irrigation for crops which generate 25% of Pakistan's GDP. Tension is now rising and the Pakistan Defense Minister has stated that he believes an attack is imminent. Both India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons and the risk of war between the two nations raises the prospects of a nuclear stand off.
