India raises nuclear stakes

India raises nuclear stakes

Quote: India can now build nuclear weapons with the same destructive power as those in the arsenals of the world’s major nuclear powers, according to New Delhi’s senior atomic officials.

They said India had built weapons with yields of up to 200 kilotons, which would be considered a “proper strategic deterrent” by the global community. A nuclear weapon above 50 kilotons is considered high yield. India’s enhanced capability gives it a considerable edge over Pakistan, its nuclear-armed arch-rival.

In my humble opinion we are not paying nearly enough attention to the nuclear threat to the world from India and Pakistan. They hate each other with a passion and both have enough nuclear weapons to cause nuclear winter if they start lobbing their nukes at each other. If the Taliban is victorious in Pakistan, India would, most likely, launch a pre-emptive strike. The Taliban threat draws closer every day.

Mr. Obama has revealed he is a paper tiger, not willing or able to help either India or Israel.

Wars and rumours of war... Just like the Bible says.
