Every single time I remember that Pakistan is a nuclear power, I am a bit worried.
It's certainly in a top 5 position of countries I'd rather not have access to nuclear weapons.
- L_226 8y agoWell, in the recent skirmishes it seems that Pakistan was actually the more level headed of the two. India has been agitating about Kashmir due to local elections coming up, and BJP wants to gather the 'tough on Pakistan/national security' votes.
- dalbasal 8y agoThe difference is (a) government control over the army and (b) the role of paramilitaries... It just means that pakistan has more vectors for escalation. Populist flag thumping is a vestor in both countries.
- quantummkv 8y agoWell, that's after you conveniently take away the fact that Pakistan essentially started the latest skirmish. You really can't blame India for responding to the murder of their people on their soil, can you?
