Kashmir Attack
By 
This is ugly and it could get uglier.
Militants opened fire on a group of tourists in the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir on Tuesday, killing at least two dozen and injuring many more, according to local media reports.
The attack, in a picturesque district of pine-covered hills and valleys that is popular with Indian travelers, was the worst assault against civilians in the restive region in years, said Omar Abdullah, the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, as the region is officially known.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned what he called a “terror attack” and said that “those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice.”
In the Choose-Your-Own-Autocracy adventure that is contemporary subcontinent policy, the Trump administration is leaning rather heavily towards Modi (as did Biden, to be fair). Don’t count on the US to restrain India if this comes to fisticuffs.
