I know Pershings were deployed. Do I believe they would have been launched, if the Warsaw Pact had come through the Fulda Gap? No. But if the Soviets had detonated nukes against US forces, there would have been an all-out nuclear exchange. And that is precisely why the Soviets would have held back.
Pakistan, 3:1
I make Pakistan the prohibitive favorite: 4-to-1
India has a no-first-use point of view. Pakistan has a “we will use the Islamic nuclear bomb the first chance we get” policy
