Normally I would agree and chalk it up to that, but these are two nuclear armed powers with over a billion lives at stake, yet still, not a peep of interest. The “threat” of Iran possessing a nuclear weapon is constantly fearmongered in the media, yet a conflict where over 300 warheads could be involved seems to go uncovered, the inconsistency is so strange.
You’d think it’d be important to them but nope. That’s why I can only think of the above conclusion. Like, India has an actual fascist government and some proto apartheids system but you never heard anything about it. If China actually did half the stuff India did you’d never heard the end of it.
Iran poses a threat to the western hegemony and needs to be treated badly. Pakistan and India apparently do not pose such a threat so let them nuke eachother I guess?
What do you mean by that? India’s government is very fascistic. Modi is a member of a hindu-supremacist group.
Do you know about a pogrom in 2002 that massacred over 1,000 muslims in Gujarat? Modi led the state of Gujarat at the time, and he encouraged the pogrom, the glorification of nazism in state textbooks.
Iran is treated that way because they’re openly opposed and work counter to US interests, giving support to both Hamas and Russia, for example. Neither Pakistan nor India are so reliably anti-West, so even if they could plunge the world into a nuclear winter, there’s little propaganda motive.
Basically, what the bourgeois media report on isn’t what’s important for people to know, but what’s important for the bourgeoisie to make known (or, well, make believed).

India is less fascist than any western nation
What do you mean by that? India’s government is very fascistic. Modi is a member of a hindu-supremacist group.
Do you know about a pogrom in 2002 that massacred over 1,000 muslims in Gujarat? Modi led the state of Gujarat at the time, and he encouraged the pogrom, the glorification of nazism in state textbooks.
What else do I need to say?
He was the chief minister at the time, and yes, Modi is a fascist. But literally every western nation has worse crimes committed.
Very low bar to clear
Not for lack of trying.
The point being?
Iran is treated that way because they’re openly opposed and work counter to US interests, giving support to both Hamas and Russia, for example. Neither Pakistan nor India are so reliably anti-West, so even if they could plunge the world into a nuclear winter, there’s little propaganda motive.
