Like a good soldier Baston.....that is a head shot bullseye.  Fat generals and admirals of BOTH sides are extremely sensitive of "losing face".  Unintended consequences due to stupid, silly schoolyard bully tactics is the name of the game right now.  Fat fingers on the nuke button?  

And just as bad, our US foreign policy based on the department of defense, justice, intelligence, state department and the executive branch has not been cohesive lately.  I'm also concern about that.

Pakistan has banned all international flight over Pakistan.

Singapore Airlines and their subsidiary Scoot have cancelled flights and offered refunds or changes of destination and Emirates are rerouting flights as well.  I suspect that many other airlines will follow.
