How are these two not at war? >shellin and killin each other >it's a "conflict" not a warBitch my asshole has a conflict with the spicy noodles I ate last night this is different
>>523891888neither side can afford an actual war, but both sides shitty useless governments benefit from being perceived as 'strong', and a border skirmish accomplishes that the governments of both sides can also blame each other for whatever they want that is going on in their country, in order to deflect criticism there is also the situation where if you have a smoldering border conflict, nobody will try to replace you, because they do not know how to resolve it themselves tl;dr it's fake and gay, little conflicts like this are useful for military junta / regimes to justify their existence
Is this some obscure merchantinb4 SEA, I know
>>523891997I think there's a very real possibility of war
>>523891888There's almost nothing to gain from territorial gains. In the 21st century, most wealth is generated through tech and innovation and trading them. Raw resources conversion is low value stuff.
>>523891997This. When the US came in and they immediately backed off it reminded me of a time I was in an American college bar.Some guys shoulder-checked when drunk and they started fake shoving each other. One started yelling 'hold me back bro' pushing his shoulders back against his friend, pretending he was being restrained. Then they were 'pulled' away by their friends.Gayest shit I've seen in my life.
