It was mere speculation on my part... So what's the angle here? What does each country in the region stand to gain by a war?

There can be no gain in a nuke war, everybody loses, such weapons are best not used. But if say India and China gets into a war over Pakistan, and suppose it goes nuclear, we can safely say that India currently does not have a remote chance of surviving. The gap in missle and nuke tech between China and India is even greater than the Gap betweent the U.S and China. And even then theres no garuntee that the other powers will stand still, why the Chinese are busy vaporising the Indians, the Russians may nuke China, and then all of Eurasia and East Asia goes out, this conflict could become WWIII real fast.
