Please Tell Me We Didn't Attack Pakistan

[MarsKitten]

Pakistan has no projection. A million people setup to defend against fucking India. They couldn't send troops anywhere, they can't fly bombers over us, and they certainly can't stop us in any real way.

Let them make noise.

Oh for fuck's sake.

[MarsKitten]

Srsly, unless they want to start a nuclear war with us, this isn't going anywhere other than Pakistan being angry with us. I'd worry when a religious nut gets the lead tho.

nytimes

appeared to be a first commando attack by NATO forces against the Taliban inside Pakistan.

There's an election just over 2 months away. Of course it's time to ramp things up over there.

Gunna git that Bin Laden RIGHT NOW!

Anything to keep the Alaskan from talking.

Well there's Pakistan proper then there's the tribally administered regions. It'd be the equivalent of Russia attacking the Eskimos in Alaska if they were doing terrorism in Moscow and we didn't care.

Yeah we'd be pissed, but would we care enough to start a real war so long as real american citizens weren't involved?

If state-sponsored Russian troops set foot on Alaskan soil and killed so much as an Alaskan death row inmate it would kick up a shit storm only a couple clicks down from 9/11. Trust me. We'd slap Russia on the wrist and then invade the shit out of Iran within a week.

You're ignoring the hypo and are injecting the whole America fuck yea mentality.

[Cheebs]

Anyway, the whole problem here is our attitude towards brown desert people.

"Oh, we shot those Pakistani civilians? Well, don't worry about it Mr Pakistan leader. It's OK because we were going after a guy who was doing 9/11 terrorist stuff."

I ain't never heard of Pakistan anyway. Will this keep gas prices down?
