From the transcript
India and Pakistan are at each other's throat? Again. After a horrific terror attack against tourists in the disputed region of Kashmir, India's leaders have vowed revenge on Pakistan, insisting that it was India's long-term adversary that was truly behind the assault.
Pakistan has vowed to stand firm, insisting that it isn't responsible and pledged that if India should engage in combat, then Pakistan will defend itself with all its might. Troops amassing, heavy weapons are moving, and the international community is grasping at thin air, all but powerless to intervene.
Yet at the heart of this crisis, the weapon that matters most can't be shot out of a gun or launch from an aircraft or even carried in the tip of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
