If you had relaxed and stopped worrying that Nostradamus’ predictions of the Islamic world starting a nuclear WWIII seemed unlikely… guess again.
From the recent article on tensions over Kashmir at Russia Today (rt.com)
Pakistani PM Khan hints at nuking India in ‘surrender-or-death’ scenario
Asked in an Al Jazeera interview to set the record straight on whether Pakistan would hit India with nuclear weapons in case of a large-scale conflict, Khan began with the disclaimer that he would never be the one to attack.
“Pakistan would never start a war, and I am clear: I am a pacifist. I am anti-war,” he said.
However, the prime minister quickly added that when two nuclear-armed states “fight a conventional war, there is every possibility that it is going to end up into nuclear war.” And while he described it as “unthinkable,” his next hint sent a clear message about what Pakistan may do if it’s losing a conventional war against India.
“If say Pakistan, God forbid, we are fighting a conventional war, we are losing, and if a country is stuck between the choice: either you surrender or you fight ‘til death for your freedom – I know Pakistanis will fight to death for their freedom.”
This is why Mutually Assured Destruction is so persuasive, keeping hostilities at bay. Personally I hope the world bans the bomb wholesale, but this may well not happen before two nuclear powers have at it. Hopes and prayers for a de-nuclearized world soon.
You couldnt help yourself.
Its the indian governmemt thats deatroying the peace in that neighbourood.
You should try taking off that tinfoil sometimes.
Even if India is the more aggressive party, they weren’t the ones mentioning potential escalation to use of nukes on the other.
