Well let's all hope these fucking morons can keep it non-nuclear

I really don't care if the Paki's and the street shitters kill each other to the last man, woman and child but don't drag the rest of us down with you. Your kind has done enough damage to the world already with your pollution, crime and emigration.

so what exactly is the US's stake in the india-pakistani war for supremacy over the fields of desert, trash, and shit river? why do we care, other than the fact that these two full retard regional powers may very well decide to update some history text books to say "japan was the first country to have nuclear weapons used on it."

From Trump's response we generally don't.

Pakistan getting it's shit rocked means one less Muslim country for us to deal with.

India getting it's shit rocked probably just means less Indians?

American businesses in particular American tech companies have a businesse model that basically cannot exist without a steady flood of HB1s.

So they have a huge incentive to make sure out of the two smelly brown factions tard fighting that one in particular survives.

At the end of the day my gut feeling is that it has to do with St. Thomas More or rather his depiction in A Man For All Seasons. Like I think the Catholic legal scholar, if he is being honest with himself, eventually arrives at the same kind of mindset that St. Thomas More had in the play. That play really influenced Scalia at least. I'm sure you know the story of St. Thomas More. He keeps his mouth shut about Henry VIII breaking with Rome, everyone knows he disagrees with Henry but can't prove it, and eventually he is convicted on false evidence and executed. In the play he talks about how the laws are like a forest where people can hide in. Sure, bad people can hide in there as well as good people. But what happens when you cut down all the trees? Well now not only can bad people not hide from justice but good people can't hide from the devil. I'd look up the exact passage but you get the point.

It's such a good scene, I'll link it

I think the Catholic overrepresentation on the bench is just the more structured nature of Catholicism asserting itself. We Prots, especially American Prots, are not big on that whole magisterium and hierarchy thing, and America is still, at its core, a nation of Anglo Protestant heavily armed religious extremists.
