Gorth Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Serious subject is serious! Anybody have anything but trolling to contribute? I read the article. Interesting, although I'm not convinced about the China/Pakistan connection. It does have a point about a number of nuclear armed countries who all wants to be the next "super power" wrestling for position. I still think Pakistans actions are determined more by a desire to stay alive through all means available rather than megalomaniac ambitions. It is barely a coherent country and has more opposition internally than externally imho. India makes a good villain for Islamabad to deflect attention and pent up anger of the masses towards. When Taliban ruled Afghanistan, all the young unemployed hotheads, straight out of the Madrassas went there instead. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Wrath of Dagon Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It's a fact that Pakistan got its nuclear technology from China, and then proliferated it elsewhere.

Calax Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thing about China and India going to war with one another is the question of "what do they get from it" beyond being able to laugh while millions die due to fallout and the simple satisfaction of being able to deal with an enemy. Both are currently overpopulated and would probably be trying to expand their territories to create room for that population. Mongolia would probably kiss it's ass good bye as it's almost inconsequential on the world stage and would get steamrolled by China, and India would probably either choose to expand via pakistan and afganistan, or down towards thailand IMO.

Calax Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm fairly certain that to a degree the stalemate is desired because if they won, as soon as they did, they'd no longer have national cohesion as the only thing that held them together (a constant threat from India) was gone. It's like what'd happen to the tea party if all of a sudden spending dropped like a rock but 50% lost their jobs because of the other 50%. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

They will find another ridiculous reason to still be Tea baggers? You think that there is any rationale to fanaticism? If they initial objectives that led them to launch an armed revolt are not met, they will continue to rebel. Every veteran of the previous generation is now an instigator trying to push the younger into their cause, frankly I don't know how much of a perceived threat is India to these people. Even if it's a desired truce; like I said before, they are just waiting for the right excuse to go back to killing each other. India or not once the peace is gone is gone.

Calax Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Which is why the various leaderships are attempting to pull of a delicate balancing act between keeping the people frightened and unified by the outside threat, while placating foreign powers about their nuclear stockpiles, and not forcing the issue between themselves and India. That's one of the scary parts for people, is the fact they are so fractious that they can probably loose control of their nukes and we could wind up with a glowing planet instead of the current choking one we've got.
