Don't discount the Persians. They're a proud people, they may be willing to buy from the Chinese but they're not about to cede ground to them. And of course, there's Central Asia where they will get a $hitload of resistance from the Bear itself.

the Jaguar were originally designed to perform ground attack missions, and would require only modest modification to deliver nuclear weapons.Israel has (apparently) done the upgrade. Great Britain is not amused.

I'm not so sure, but then again, these guys are living in the region, I guess they must know something. India also expelled Pakistan's ambassador. I'm starting to think it is only a matter of time before they stop playing nice and go to town on one another...which would probably eventually lead to a nuclear exchange. Thankfully, their nukes aren't nearly as powerful as ours are, but it'll produce a lot of fallout nonetheless.

China would be the big winner in this. Yeah, except for all of the fallout which would first (and mostly) fall on China. Of course, considering how much the Chinese government cares about their people, that probably wouldn't trouble them *too* much. In fact, it might help a little with their overpopulation problem.

If only Islamic hooligans (terrorists) were given as much attention. India needs to do some Sharon style incursions into PakiLand to show they mean business. Forget the nukes for time being. What can India do on the ground? My own wild guess is that India troops are not ready to rumble.

11:02 am, August 9, 1945 - Nagasaki.
The last time an atomic was dropped as a munition. Will it be much longer til the next?Hopefully, not for a long, long, long time.
Better yet - never.
But if it's gonna happen, here's hoping it's limited.
I suppose the world needs a reminder just how nasty those things are.

the fallout which would first (and mostly) fall on China A lot of what falls on China also crosses the Pacific to Alaska. Alaskans will not be pleased since summer just started and won't end until hunting season.
To: Willie Green
If India is going to war with Pakistan, then the safest way to do it is to telegraph each move to Pakistan and the rest of the world. This gives up the advantage of strategic surprise, but that may not be so important with modern weapons. It has the advantage that Pakistan cannot say at any point that they are suddenly in danger of collapsing due to India's underhanded methods, and therefore must immediately escalate to a nuclear exchange. This removes any way for Pakistan to legitimize a nuclear attack.
By turning the heat up gently on the Pakistani pail, the Indians can keep the Pakistani nuclear frog from jumping out.

Why is the dateline San Francisco?San Francisco has seceded from the Union and is now part of multiculturalist South Asia.

A lot of what falls on China also crosses the Pacific to Alaska. May I ask when you people were born?
Are you aware that nuclear weapons
as powerful as those in Pakistan's and Indian's arsenal
were tested in New Mexico??

Sure, usually one at a time. Siberia was also thoroughly bombed. Not 200 all at once, that would spike the Geiger counters considerably downwind.
To: RightWhale
They don't have 200 bombs,
nor the means to deliver them
and even if they did
that still would be under 40 Megatons.
Russia once tested a 50 megaton bomb,
much close to China and Alaska.

They don't have 200 bombs They do. But they are not clean bombs. 200 dirty bombs would spread a lot of radioactive fallout. Everybody will get some.

No more H1-Bs from India?

May I ask when you people were born? And may I ask how much you know about nuclear physics?
Did you know that radiation from Chernobyl reached the US? Sure, it wasn't much, but there was some.
OTOH, I'm not the one who brought up Alaska: I think Alaska probably wouldn't get too much radiation. The rad count wouldn't be much more than a particularly fierce solar storm, IMO. But, unless and until there is a nuclear exchange, it is impossible to say for sure what the results would be: there has never been more than one nuke set off at a time.
It appears possible that India and Pakistan will oblige us in providing a test bed for this experiment.

No more H1-Bs from India? It kind of brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it? I can hear the wailings from the neo-cons as we speak: they will have to find some other way to hold down wages in the high tech sector. They shouldn't worry: they're bright people, I'm sure they'll find more sources of cheap labor to bring into the country.
H1-Bs: down, but not out!
