Nuclear Neighbors Nuke Clear Problems

Alright folks Saul Goodman here your consigliere for all things legal and apparently international relations! Word on the street – and by street I mean Reuters – is that Britain and the US are playing peacemakers between India and Pakistan. These two have been at it like cats and dogs or maybe more like Heisenberg and Gus you know that kind of tension where someone's gonna end up face down in a pool of… well let's just say it's not pretty. Seems like they had a little missile flinging fiesta after some 'incident' in Kashmir. Details details. The important thing is nobody wants a nuke going off especially not me. My insurance premiums are high enough as it is!

Operation Olive Branch (Sponsored by Saul Goodman & Associates)

So this David Lammy fella the UK Foreign Minister is running around Islamabad talking about 'confidence building measures.' Confidence? Between these two? That's like expecting Tuco Salamanca to attend anger management! But hey if throwing money at a problem works I'm all for it. And by money I mean diplomatic efforts. Apparently Trump wanted a third country pow wow but so far nada. Maybe they should hire me as a mediator. I can talk anyone into anything especially if it involves a hefty retainer fee. Remember kids 'Better call Saul!'

Water Wars? That's What She Said!

Now get this: India’s thinking about yanking the Indus Water Treaty. That's like cutting off Pakistan's water supply! Apparently they’ve 'put in abeyance' their participation whatever that means. Seriously that's cold even for me. Pakistan is calling this an act of war. As your trusted advisor I'd suggest they settle this over a game of rock paper scissors. Or maybe just maybe actually talk to each other like civilized human beings for once. Nah where's the fun in that?

Terrorism: The Gift That Keeps on Giving (Bad Press)

Oh and let's not forget the good ol' 'T word': Terrorism. Lammy says Britain is gonna help Pakistan fight it. Good on 'em. Though let’s be real everyone knows that is “the street always wins”. Personally I prefer my clients to stick to… shall we say 'entrepreneurial endeavors' of the less explosive variety. But hey if there's a buck to be made fighting the bad guys I'm your man. Just uh don't ask too many questions okay?

Meanwhile Back in Ukraine…

Speaking of conflicts apparently Russia's being a real pain in the backside in Ukraine. Lammy's accusing them of 'obfuscation.' Big word. Basically they're not playing nice. Trump wants to chat with Putin before anything happens. Sounds like a real tango of ego maniacs. The question is at what point someone tells to Putin “enough is enough”?.

The Saul Goodman Guarantee (Results May Vary)

So there you have it folks. Another day another set of global crises. But remember even when the world's going to hell in a handbasket there's always room for a little Saul Goodman charm. And if you ever find yourself in a sticky situation you know who to call! Just don't expect me to handle any international incidents. I’m just a lawyer after all… a really really good lawyer. With questionable ethics! 'I fight for you!'

    Sounds like a good time to invest in water purification tech.

    Confidence-building measures? More like confidence-boosting scams!
