#1 No doubt the Pakistani would if they could get away with it. On the bright side, they are great salesmen for US missile defense systems. How soon before Patriot and THAAD are operating in India?

#2 "It is better to die fighting than to die from famine"

They pop a nuke and famine will be the least of their issues.

India can and will counterforce. And the central government of Pakiwaki land will cease to exist, as will a large proportion of its population near those bases.

On the bright side, that lets us cut loose with everything we need into Talib territory.

#3 Most of the Pakistani nukes are aircraft delivered. THe Pakistani IRBC have a tendency to depart controlled flight.

#6 U.S. think tanks are predicting that Pakistan will become another Somalia by 2018-19, and that India too wants to dismantle Pakistan.

That's the bit that interests me. The rest is a little man talking big. Because I suspect that were Pakistan to shoot off nuclear bombs/missiles in India, 'twould not be India alone that would shoot back... and the remaining Pakistanis would have other things to worry about than expanding their Caliphate.

#7 I think there is possibly an international protocol established long ago, that took the Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) concept and expanded on it.

Simply put, it is an agreement between the US, Russia and China that if stinking little country 'A' uses a nuclear weapon against their hated enemy, stinking little country 'B', then the following will happen:

Most likely the United States will detonate so many neutron weapons over stinking little country 'A' as to exterminate ALL lifeforms in that country, but without otherwise harming it.

Buildings, rivers, land, would all be fine. And then, the now EMPTY stinking little country 'A' will be GIVEN to stinking little country 'B' as reparations for the nuclear attack. All 'B' has to do is throw all the dead bodies in a big pit full of feces and urine.

This means that if ANY stinking little country thinks it can attack its hated enemy, it will not just lose, but lose everything. And everything they have will be GIVEN to their hated enemy.

This is a threat that the leaders of every stinking little country that would want nuclear weapons will understand.

"You and your people will cease to exist. All your stuff will be given to those you hate, and it will be like you never existed. You, your people, and your culture will be gone for good."

So DON'T use nuclear weapons.
