Once more into the Breech
Once again conflict in this great big wonderfull world. India and Pakistan which will of course bring China into,the argument as she shares a border also with India.
Mountbatten as Viceroy of India was instrumental in the division of the continent into a place for both the Musthaveone and the Hindu sects by division of the area into East and West Pakistani. This apparently was not enough . However once again the fireworks will start and put a show on for the rest of the worlds politicians to get their unwanted
Advice and in doing so supply more fuel to the conflagration by all media outlets with their rabble rousing advice in general and hey ho off we go. Cheers JS.

Re: Once more into the Breech
So many problems where others from overseas have attempted to create a nation that maybe was quite happy as it was.
Look at Gaza and Israel.
Prior to 1948 Israel as we now know it did not exist, Churchill and a few others got together and bingo a new nation emerges!!!!


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Once more into the Breech
The,same with Hitler with the Ukraine ,was the cause of his unsuccessful invasion of Russia held him up long enough
for the winter to set in and like Napoleon before him was his downfall. The Ukraine before had been predominately
Russian Speaking and he couldn’t leave an unprotected back ,he also needed the factory lines of necessary goods
he needed for the war effort .,There has ever since been a bad feeling between Russia and what he still considers
Russian terroristy.
