No, there's nothing in place to actually do that at the moment. They've said they would, to which Pakistan offered nuclear fallout.
Of course beyond that it's a question of why they've finally decided to withhold water, at which point no, it's not a broken clock situation. The country that harbored bin Laden turns out to have an Islamist terrorist group funding habit.
they're both asshole countries what of it
If that's your takeaway of the relationship between the two countries and their well over a billion people, it's hardly like you'd be expected to care at all- so to you, nothing.
Maybe take Rwanda and the DRC- I'm sure you don't really care about the conflict between those countries either, but the millions of people who live there matter to themselves, as does the actual truth about the conflict and what drives it. It's so reductive and frankly vapid to just think, "oh asshole bad countries", as though that couldn't apply anywhere else, in any other conflict.
Where does it say I have to be humane and empathetic about every conflict?
I have very little power here and the motivation behind these countries beefing (religion) is silly to me. I don't care of 60 trillion people died over religion it's still fucking stupid and fuck em.
And I expect the same thrown my own way. When America is nuked and I die, you best damn well say "sucks to fuckin suck"
I didn't request that you be humane or empathetic, and stated as much. What of it? To someone that is content with not actually looking into things, and just making snap assumptions about how the world around them works, nothing.
You've done it again in assuming that religion is the motivation behind the conflict. If you're going to engage with other people about topics, the bare minimum of thinking about the topic you've chosen to discuss seems like a fair ask.
What are you talking about snap judgements you dolt.
You think Pakistan and India's relationship has nothing to do with religion? Do you know why Pakistan literally exists? Do you know why the relationship between the two are bad? Cultural, mainly religious, differences egged on by imperial powers for well over a century.
Now to modern day. Two heavily corrupt governments who are known for harboring immensely exploited workforces and adhere to, what I see as, insane cultural standards especially in regards to the poor/women.
Fuck em, the resource wars will continue until all humanity has learned a lesson or died. Snap judgements my fuckin ass.
