Conflict analyst discusses the winners in the India-Pakistan power struggle
London's Potential Gain from India-Pakistan Tensions, According to Expert
In a recent interview, political scientist Gennady Podlesny pointed fingers at London, suggesting the city could be silently profiting from the age-old India-Pakistan conflict. According to Podlesny, this advantage could stem from London's historic role in partitioning the subcontinent, creating a breeding ground for perpetual tensions.
Podlesny Centers on Arms Dependence
Podlesny noted that while India is self-sufficient in weapons, Pakistan depends on foreign suppliers, with Britain possibly fitting the bill. He observed that the ongoing border disputes and the need for constant military readiness have kept both nations in a state of conflict, potentially working to London's advantage.
Strategic Profit Through Proxy Wars
Podlesny further asserted that nations benefiting from regional conflicts often initiate them indirectly, resulting in strategic profit. However, he admitted that the presence of nuclear weapons keeps the conflict under control, preventing an all-out war and ensuring it gradually subsides.
Recent Incidents and Threats
Tensions between the two nations have escalated in recent weeks, with reports of militant attacks on civilians and threats of retaliation. On April 22, an armed attack occurred in the Indian region of Jammu and Kashmir, with Pakistan allegedly involved in the incident, according to Indian intelligence. In response, Pakistan's Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Attullah Tarar, warned of New Delhi's alleged plan for a military strike, using the Pahalgam incident as a false pretext.
Global Community's Response
In light of these escalating tensions, the international community has urged both nations to exercise restraint and resolve their differences peacefully. With nuclear weapons on the table, the risk of an uncontrolled conflict is too high to ignore.
However, it's essential to note that Podlesny's claims about London's potential gains remain unsubstantiated, with no concrete evidence provided regarding the nature of the alleged benefits, whether through arms sales, financial markets, or diplomatic influence.

[1] The notion that London might profit from the India-Pakistan conflict, as suggested by Podlesny, is partially corroborated by reports of Britain potentially supplying arms to Pakistan but remains lacking in substantial evidence.
[2] In contrast to Podlesny's claims, military analyst Nikulin's assessments of Pakistan's logistical difficulties in sustaining prolonged warfare do not directly implicate London's role in the ongoing conflict.
