Except that to get to Norway Hitler only had to make his way across essentially unarmed Denmark.

As you hopefully know, the Germans did not defeat the Brits and French in order to get at the Norwegians. They attacked Norway while the Sitzkrieg was still in effect on the Western Front.

My point is that it is pretty darn ludicrous to think that Pakistan poses a realistic conventional military threat to Bangladesh.

Now if they could get one over there, I suppose they could nuke Dacca. But I’m unclear why they would want to.

Check the order of sequence on Denmark/Norway and why it went down like that. Wasn’t going to happen without France and Britain sidelined.

Now tell me how you see a Sino-Indian war playing out, Pakistanis role, and what Pakistan’s war goals would be.

The history of countries taking a neutral stance in the belief that larger countries can/will defend them isn’t a very happy history.

I’m going to have to give myself 100 demerits concerning Denmark/Norway. You are absolutely right about it occurring before the attack on France. Not sure where my brain was on that.
