The last time an atomic was dropped as a munition. Will it be much longer til the next?

Even if a limited war breaks out, that does that raise the issue nuclear weapons coming into play. Pakistan, I think, might only resort to using nukes if they felt the whole of Kashmir was in danger of being taken over by India.
But then again, conflicts like these tend to get worse and worse and, who knows, maybe there will be mushroom clouds in South Asia, but I hope for the Indian's sake, that won't happen.

Hopefully, not for a long, long, long time.
Better yet - never.
But if it's gonna happen, here's hoping it's limited.
I suppose the world needs a reminder just how nasty those things are.
