Defiant Pakistan threatens to use nuke

I am not sure you really comprehend what a general nuclear war between India and Pakistan will mean for this planet. Think of Chernobyl . . . now repeat it over and over and over and over again. A total ecological disaster that will impact the entire global population. It sadly makes the Israeli - Palestinian conflict and our own war on terrorism seem truly insignificant in comparison.

Perhaps you could explain how a couple free air nuclear explosions will result in "total ecological disaster that will impact the entire global population" when a few HUNDRED free air nuclear explosions, in tests performed by both the United States and the former Soviet Union, did not?

Tell that to the Pacific Islanders whose homes are forever ruined. ***Only a hundred million casualties*** Take the WTC bombing and multiply the human suffering by over 30,000 times.

I believe Pakistan is believed to possess 15 nuclear weapons and India at least 25. You think once nuclear war is unleashed, they will stop with destroying just one or two cities?

You morons talk about death and destruction so casually when it is impacting others. And yet just ONE conventional explosion in your hometown would stir your self-righteous feelings for an all-out war against the perpetrators. You forget we are all the same human family.

Relax kids, it's called sabre rattling. Don't take every word that comes out of some politicians mouth so literally.

Oh lord, how did these idiots even get nukes? They apparently fail to understand that a radioactive cloud could potentially blow over their country and kill their own people. What kind of idiot thinks in this day and age it is ok to use a nuke to have a quick victory? Does Pakistan not understand the implications of using a nuke? Does higher background radiation not bother them? We should send in commandos to both India and Pakistan to steal all of their nukes, and the design plans.

 

[Dually]

I don't blame them at all. India has twice as many conventional forces and could easly defeat Pakistan and take it over if nukes are kept out of the game.

 

[StageLeft]

With Pakistan shifting troops from Afghanistan to disputed Kashmir, U.S. officials tell CNN that India has loaded medium range missiles with conventional warheads.

Whoo hoo. Really impressive, f**k-wads!

Those people are animals who want nothing more than scraggly hair on their faces and death. They're disgusting people who need to be turned into ashes, the whole lot of them. When the nukes fall, they'll wish they had reconsidered their cries for blood. Maybe then, americans can get work again in america.

You gave them to us - seriously, the technology was shared by the U.S not only with India, but other countries as well (including possibly CCCP, though unwittingly). BTW, till date the United States remains the only country to have used nookyoolar weapons against another nation - so much for idiocy.

It is in the interests of the world in general for Pakistan to lose its 'Islamic Bomb'. If not against India today, it will find its way to other parts of the world somewhere down the line.

If both side choose the used nukes, then I think the conflicts will not be contained to those two countries. Within a few years after the first missile launch (doesn't matter who launch first), everyone will eat radioactive dust.

fraid not. these two countries are ready for war. nuclear weapsons are meant as a deterrent so the other guy will think twice before attacking. However, Pakistan is greatly outnumbered militarily by India. Once the missiles start flying from India, Pakistan may find itself in a no-lose situation. Instead of losing their nuclear weapons and face all out defeat, they may use them. It is a very REAL possibility if a full scale war does break out between the two countries. If Pakistan feels its nuclear arsenal is threatened, they will use it

I seriously doubt we shared nuclear secrets with India, or any other country. MAYBE Great Britain, but I wouldn't even bet on that.

Not even close to being similar to today. We have (and had back then) ways of killing more people with conventional weapons than the first atomic bombs did. Not so today. The bombs are much worse. And the situation is much different.

Can't remember where I read it - maybe a link on Fark or here - but a bunch of analyst war games were run and nuclear war was the result of most. If India attacks Pakistan Pakistan will then use nukes in a defensive move on their own soil - which will look better in the eyes of the world. Then India in response may launch their own nukes into afghanistan in repayment and then Pakistan looks like the poor victim.

First of all...all development of nukes by India was done in-house. They developed everything themselves using their own material. They did however take apart a Russian missle for something or the other but then scrapped that in favor of designing their own mechanisms.

There's a book called Wings of Fire written by the guy who started and guided the whole Indian missle program, he ironically his Muslim...and he loves his country <India>.

Secondly, Nuclear War WILL NOT OCCUR! I don't know how many times I have re-iterate this. None of you guys live or have lived in the area and probably none of you have dealt with people from that area. You guys are just regurgitating whatever you hear on the news. Pakistan is gonna talk a lot of crap and so will India. They probably will fight, but not with nukes...atleast the Gov't won't...I dunno about the fanatic rebels.

Will write more..have work to do.

"I seriously doubt we shared nuclear secrets with India, or any other country. MAYBE Great Britain, but I wouldn't even bet on that."

I think I got that from a U.S resource, will try to dig up some more info on that one....but I am very confident that the original nuclear technology was indeed shared by the U.S with other countries - obviously for more peaceful purposes.

True. I was just making a point to show that stupidity is not exclusive to India or Pakistan - unless you think nuking Japan was a good idea :Q (ok, ok, neither was Pearl Harbour

)

 

[apoppin]

We HOPE it is "sabre rattling". However, India and Pakistan are completely irrational in their dealings with other.

They have been sworn enemys for a long long time - I believe they have fought 3 wars in the last 50 years.

And I am also reading in a 'net "search" that Pakistan's nuclear capabilities may be UNDERestimated. That they may actually have 50 or so nuclear weapons already mounted on missles. India may have up to 200, but their missle technology is behind Pakistans.

 

[OutHouse]

Im sure that China isnt going to sit back and not do anything. if nukes are used guess what country is the first inline for the radioactive fall out.

 

[rickn]

atleast the Gov't won't...I dunno about the fanatic rebels.

you could say that is what rules Pakistan. They are a military ruled country. I have no doubt India would not be the first to use them, Pakistan is a different story. While I think a nuclear conflict between the two is very small, situations can deteriorate very quickly and decisions made in haste in the heat of battle -- especially when you are grossly outnumbered
