ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing's advanced fighter jet.

An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report.

They should stop escalating this folly.

It would be a major victory for a dozen terrorists, if they managed to provoke two large countries into an actual war, and currently this seems to be happening.

A dozen guys with rifles, murdering 26 civilians, have caused two countries to wreck billions worth of equipment and one of them to play games with a large river too.

This is not supposed to be possible. If this is possible, it's proof that terrorism works. :(

One guy with a pistol caused WWI, if countries build up a military for decades they will find a reason to use it eventually.

It's fascinating how Gavrilo Princip put himself into the historical record of humanity. He will be discussed in history books many centuries from now (if we get that far and if the concept of "learning" as we think of it now is even relevant then).

He also killed the Austro-Hungarian who was staunchly against war on the Balkans keeping the warmonger Hötzendorf in check and for more independence for minorities inside the empire.

You think that was an isolated incident?

After watching that i feel like I've seen the whole movie.

Where can I see this masterpiece

Trailers are so fuckin useless these days. If you watch more than the first 10 seconds you have no reason to watch the movie anymore.
