The answer to all those questions is obviously India. But here is the most important question: Who has the need and wanting for nuclear weapons? Its Pakistan, and that's painfully obvious. India has nowhere near the nuclear ambition of Pakistan. We have a real no first use policy, and our nukes are there for the simple purpose of deterring a WMD attack on Indian soil. In other words, if others didn't have WMD, we wont need it. But pakistan's stance is completely different. It has a dedicated first use policy, and even if India didnt have a single nuke, its likely that Pak will use hers.
Do you have the official policy issued by the NCA of Pakistan which states first use policy ?? And just like why India got WMDs to counter someone else with WMDs, Pakistan had to have them after its arch rival got the tech. So, we both have the same reason, India got it due to China as they say, we got them due to India, had India not gone for WMDs, we wouldn't have, so its pretty obvious why we had them.
And as said, plzzz do provide the link to Pakistan officially stating that it has the first strike policy.
And also answer me, lets suppose, saying it again, just assume, India has no first strike policy, and God forbid somehow during war, its defences are broken and the enemy is on the move inside Indian territory and about to capture a large chunk of it, or wishes to dismember India by capturing some specific area, what are Indians gonna do, sing the no first strike policy or say to hell with it, India is at stake so lets use it on the incoming forces to halt their advance and regain what we have lost. Don't say it will never gonna happen or we India are very superior to have something like that happen to us, i just said, just assume the situation, would you keep the nukes stored at their silos or use them against the enemy who is about to capture good part of India.
So as per above scenario, implement it on this Indo-Pak region, we all know Pakistan can never overrun Indian defences or capture a big part of India, while on the contrary, India has the capability, the will, the ambition and the resources to overrun large part of Pakistan and capture large part of Pakistan and do whatever it wants to do with it, that being the reason India as no-first strike policy with respect to Pakistan as it knows Pakistan poses no threat, while Pakistan can not gamble with no first strike policy as it knows India has the wish and resources to overrun large part of it, thus it will have to use the nukes God forbid something like that happens and this is very logical, which i am regretted to state the Indian members don't understand. The superior one can say the no-first strike policy, while the inferior one can't as it knows it has the nukes for a specific reason.
USA, UK, NATO all have first strike policy, but as defensive measure, Pakistan's is no different then theirs. Simple reason as they know if someone superior invaded, they can't hold them off for long, one of the reasons why USSR used to think twice before thinking about any invasion of the Europe knowing they have overwhelming superiority over NATO.
Yes, please keep that in mind when India talks of concerns about pak armed forces build up. And about our concern with China-Pak nuclear deal.
yeah, its in my mind, but my statement was pointing to something else.
