NIN Web Desk : (Dr subhrojyoti chattopadhyay); Vance says India-Pakistan conflict is ‘fundamentally none of our business’
Vice President J.D. Vance suggested the U.S. will not intervene in the conflict between India and Pakistan, arguing the dust-up is “fundamentally none of our business.” Vice President JD Vance suggested the U.S. will not intervene in the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan, arguing the dust-up is “fundamentally none of our business.” “We can’t control these countries,” Vance told Media on Thursday. “We’re not going to get involved in the middle of a war that’s fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America’s ability to control it.” Vance’s comments came after President Donald Trump offered his help to repair relations between the two neighbors in Asia.
“Oh, it’s so terrible. My position is, I get along with both,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday. “I know both very well, and I want to see them work it out. I want to see them stop. And hopefully they can stop now. They’ve got a tit-for-tat, so hopefully they can stop now. But I know both, we get along with both countries very well. Good relationships with both and I want to see it stop. If I can do anything to help I will, I will be there as well.”
However Vance, said the U.S. does not believe the issue will devolve into a nuclear conflict as he called on both sides to de-escalate. “America can’t tell the Indians to lay down their arms. We can’t tell the Pakistanis to lay down their arms. And so we’re going to continue to pursue this thing through diplomatic channels. Our hope and our expectation is that this is not going to spiral into a broader regional war or, God forbid, a nuclear conflict.” The vice president’s comments came after India attacked nine sites in longtime foe Pakistan’s territory in response to a terrorist attack that killed 26 mostly Indian tourists in the disputed Kashmir region.
India said it had intelligence that a terrorist group based in Pakistan was responsible for the attack. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s military reported that the strikes killed at least 26 people – including women and children – and claimed India’s action amounted to an “act of war.” Pakistan said it shot down five Indian fighter jets in response, claiming that the move was justified given India’s strike. India has since launched drones into Pakistan, which its military forces say they shot down. India has also called up its reservists to ready for the potential of a protracted conflict.
