India vs China: Rumble at the Top of the World?

[Flash]

After a series of disputes and confrontations between India and China over the last few years it appears they have unfortunately turned deadly, with India saying that at least 20 of its soldiers were killed. Here is to hoping cooler heads prevail soon.

First overt combat between two nuclear powers? Or does India-Pakistan hold that title?

First overt combat between two nuclear powers? Or does India-Pakistan hold that title?

And with blunt melee weapons, no less.

Sino-Soviet border dispute in the 60s.

I read most of the casualties were a result of hand to hand combat. Very metal. I’ll bet at least one dude got a medieval mace to the skull.

If they are really sticking to the “no bullets fired” rule then I’d at least plan to show up with a compound bow and some molotov cocktails.

Apparently you may not be that far off, though most of the casualties may have resulted from soldiers either falling or being pushed off the narrow ridge on which they were fighting.

No bats (baseball or cricket) wrapped with barbed wire?

That's going to be one weird movie. Combination of Chopsocky and Bollywood.

So....what do I want for today’s mountain melee?



Or this...

Bring a Glock just don’t tell your boss. Shit goes down, you’re the hero.

Also, I wonder if any of those dudes on the mountain on either side wear GoPros. That would be insane video to watch.

Umm . . . OK. "Insane," huh? I've never personally been in combat, but I've still seen enough sick ISIS shit and other war-related things in a professional capacity to be comfortable saying that if you deliberately seek out footage of people getting beaten to death, you've got at least one screw loose.

Since the article mentions that each side accused the other of backtracking on their territory promises or launching ambush attacks, it would make a lot of sense to have video evidence. The country can choose to release their video if they perceive it paints the other country in a poor light in the international sphere. This is as much of an information conflict or diplomatic conflict as it is a military one.
