"US Vice President JD Vance Dismisses Involvement: Comments on Potential India-Pakistan Conflict"
In the heart of the heated military standoff between India and Pakistan, US Vice President JD Vance has noted that America has zero interest in meddling with this unfolding conflict. In an interview with Fox News, Vance acknowledged potential attempts by the US to nudge both nations towards cooling down, but made it clear they'd steer clear of wrestling in the war that's far removed from their reach.
"We're gonna try to persuade these cats to mellow out a tad, but we sure as hell ain't gonna stick our noses in a damn war that don't concern us, or that ain't got squat to do with our ability to handle it,” said Vance.
He further stated they can't order India or Pakistan to drop their weapons. "You know, we can't tell the Indians to put their guns down. We can't command the Pakistanis to put their guns down. So, we'll keep pushing this situation through back channels, hoping and prayin' this don't spiral into a broader regional conflict or, heaven forbid, a nuclear nightmare," added Vance.
The US vice president's remarks came in the wake of India and Pakistan exchanging gunfire and missile barrages during a military flare-up following India's Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory strike over the April 22 Pahalgam Terror attack. India insisted Operation Sindoor was not geared towards escalating the situation as they aimed solely at bombshelting terror camps, leaving civilian installations and military bases untouched in Pakistan. The following day, Pakistan attempted to attack 15 Indian cities using missiles and drones. India, in response, not only thwarted these attacks, but reportedly hammered Pakistan's air defense system in Lahore later on.
On the night of May 8 and 9, Pakistan launched missiles and drones to attack cities in Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Punjab. To retaliate, India strategically hit key Pakistani military facilities, with the exchange of fire still ongoing at the time of this article's publication.
It's worth noting that the ongoing de-escalation efforts include diplomatic maneuvers from the US, with VP Vance playing a crucial role. The administration is keen on instigating meaningful dialogue, minimizing misunderstandings, and promoting peaceful negotiations. The US is also pushing for confidence-building measures like ceasefire agreements, increased transparency, and mechanisms to avert accidental clashes. The administration's concern for humanitarian issues escalating from the conflict led to its pleas for both nations to prioritize civilian safety and ensure aid accessibility.
The US is also teaming up with various global and regional stakeholders to strengthen the call for peace, aiming to foster constructive engagement between India and Pakistan. Keep tabs on this unfolding story for more updates and developments.
