Billions could die if India and Pakistan engage in nuclear war

India and Pakistan are not going to have a conventional war, let alone Nuclear war. They will have this special ops&#x2F; militant proxy fights. Things have escalated because of election season in India, once the election is over, the tempers will lower.<p>Billions could die is a good headline, to get attention. Without taking lightly of serious situation, the appetite for a full war is not there in neither countries, all they want is some bragging rights. Politicians are willing to serve some of it.

&gt; This is no accident: as Khan said, Pakistani leaders intentionally leave their nuclear threshold ambiguous.<p>It&#x27;s interesting to me that this strategy persists. While outwardly cunning, the danger of an unarticulated threshold is total annihilation. A double edged strategy, to say the least.

There is not going to be any war. Elections season, patriotic drive.

Even if all 140 nuclear warheads of Pakistan are deployed their impact will barely destroy a district in India. Same applies for Indian warheads. It is dangerous but nowhere near what media exgaggerate. Try nukemap site and see coverage area.

From 2017, i wonder if the comments about the nuclear arsenal are out of date now.

well, duh<p>Ok, I know this is a low effort comment. But, this is a low effort article. Nuclear war bad! Next up: Water wet!

No country should be allowed to have mass-destructive weapons unless it has enough resources to compensate the damage that it can bring with it. More over the countries that possess mass-destructive weapons should pay insurance to its potential victims. I think it is the right way to disarm entire world.
