Tension is building up in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border as US troops are trying to increase their offensive pressure on Taliban militants who are roaming in the area.

Pakistani troops fired shots at a US helicopter, which was hovering at the borders of the two countries (US claims it has not entered Pakistani air space, while Pakistan insists that it has). In return, US troops fired back warning shots at the Pakistani troops.

With the change of regime in Pakistan, US-Pakistani relationship is not what it used to be. Tension is building, and military actions are not uncommon. With this in mind, do you think ground troops of either country would engage in escalated military action? And if so, to what extent?
