India does not & has never needed IRBMs or missiles for that matter to hit Pakistan.A Mirage-2000 or Jaguar taking off from bases in Central India(Gwalior or Agra) can hit targets as far as Lahore Islamabad.An SU-30 deployed from South India can deploy nukes against Karachi or Gwadar(near the Iranian border).An Indian SSK armed with a nuclear tipped Klub missile can hit Karachi with ease.You don’t need the Agni for these purposes.
he Agni series of missiles & India’s N-programme was built with China in mind from the begining.
“I think your post is pretty sick. Get help.”
Such a war would have definite short-term negative economic effects for the USA, but definite long-term benefits...such as not seeing our country destroyed. One way or another we’ll be fighting WWIII with China, or see the USA subjugated without a shot in the next 20-50 years. I’d rather see a regional war instead that eliminates either possibility. If for America to survive 2-3 billion (or more) Chinese, Indians, and Pakistanis have to die...THEN SO BE IT!
“Unfortunately in your scenario India would be flattened also with a response from China.”
That’s where the re-establishment of service-industry jobs in the USA would come from.
