MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

How will this add to the current clusterfuck with US/Iran/Afghanistan/Syria?

Cain

Not much, except remind people that NATO is pretty much involved in an arc of violence from the Hindu Kush all the way to the shores of Tripoli.

LMNO

Oh. Ok. Thought there might be escalations.

Cain

Escalations beyond Pakistan supporting the Taliban and Haqqani insurgents?

Jenne

Aw, but the ISI are just a buncha goodfellas...

The best part is, there is no strategic rationale for a border attack at all.  Pakistan aren't going to seal their side, so why bother?  You might as well wait until they're 10 miles further into Afghan territory and drop a daisy-cutter on them. Same result, minus the dead Pakistani soldiers and complicated international incidents.
