The Taliban's Strong in Afghanistan Again

India go nukes too.

Funny how when I was born, we were still dropping nukes on our own soil. Not sure if most of the people posting here can say that.
-Grew up knowing that if Russia, China, and America were willing to nuke themselves soooo badly... and we're still alive... on what grounds are they not launching missiles against those that displease them?

Because the world will totally survive a 15 gigaton nuclear exchange. Since it technically already has.

Well yes India has to have nukes, because Pakistan has them. Nuclear weapons are used primarily for deterence. It does reduce the chance of conventional war as people are afraid of it escalating into a nuclear exchange.

Just pointing out that India had them first, so you got your causality backwards.

They aren't running out of motivation, that's for sure.

Fair enough. Since India got them Pakistan pretty much had to get them too.
