Show Notes
Pakistan “won’t take long to settle the score” following India’s attack, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, the Pakistani defence minister, has said. But could this latest attack be the thing that could tip the world into another war?
In this latest episode we speak to voices on both sides of the divide - Sarjan Shah, a Security Analyst based in India, and award-winning Pakistani journalist Zia Ur Rehman – to explain how we got here, the decades long antagonism between both nations and the best and worst case scenarios for two powers who between them have some 350 nuclear weapons. Who’ll blink first as we ask, Apocalypse Now?

142 days, that’s all it’s taken. 142 days of Trump to help destabilise a country’s infrastructure, undo tenets of the constitution, buckle the economy and fall out spectacularly with a tech-bro big dog and then have a bitch fight about it all on social media.
‘Death from above’ isn’t just something painted on the side of Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore's helicopter in Apocalypse Now anymore. Now you can buy it off the shelf…
