Oh, what fun. Any chance of a full-on war breaking out over there ?
At least a 50-50 chance if I had to guess. We don’t really need a nuclear war in South Asia.
Only it is not being told to the people nor being reported.
And of course, both sides will deny anything happened.
One side won't want to face up to the fact that they had reams of terrorists on their national soil and were attacked over it, and the punishing side(s) won't want to admit it was their joint teams and technology out there cleaning up things.
Wait for a few years and it will come out over time.
There is indeed a lot going on behind the surface these days. And it is about time!
It's funny, absent Pakistan, I wouldn't worry very much about India having nukes because I don't think the Indians would be in a hurry to use them. Regardless of what India has, I do worry about Pakistani nukes given the Islamist sympathies of much of the ISI and the population, the instability of the government, and the precariousness of the economy.
I think the Indians and Pakistanis basically deserve each other, and am only concerned how an Indo-Pakistani war would negatively affect our ability to maintain our presence in Afghanistan.
