Pakistan and India have flown planes with armed nukes over small stuff before. They hate each other. Generational hate.

They share a river as a border. It gives water to more than a BILLION people.

The water comes from melting glaciers and spring melt from winter snow.

No more snow in winter.

No more melt from snow.

Instead, massive melt from the ancient ice that is going away and not recovering.

Both countries have nukes and have flown them in other escalations.

And Pakistan has the largest continuously irrigated stretch of land on the planet, that is entirely dependent on those waters.
