Anymore than 5+ on either side is pointless- being able to destroy one another many times over means nothing. Just because Pakistan can't compete conventionally with India it tries to make out it is more powerful by building more and more nukes. Even though Pakistan has the fastest growing nuke arsenal in the world no one thinks Pakistan is remotely the most powerful nation in the world. A nuke is a weapon of last resort not a weapon that should be made out to be a solution to all problems. Whenever India inducts a new conventional weapons system all we hear by Pakistanis is we have nukes so we win and don't care about India's new weapon. The use of nukes by Pakistan will result in the devastation of the entire region and possilby beyond and I wish Pakistanis would stop bragging about having so many of these awful weapons. I really don't know what is going through the heads of the Pakistani leadership who have sanctioned the expansion of the nuke arsenal in such a way, it adds NO new capaiblty that didn't exist before it DOESN'T make Pakistan look stronger. It just adds to the international communities worries about Pakistan's nuke aresenal and takes valuble resources that could be used in an already stumbling economy. With more nukes to guard the risk of one going awry increses and the pressure to do something to stop Pakistan increases.
Objectively speaking, you and I should be the last ones to suggest things like you are to anyone out there. People already call us bullies.
Every nation has their own strategic objectives. Pakistan has its own, India has its own. Frankly speaking, India is a poor country, trying to get its middle class up through American jobs. Both, India and Pakistan can't afford to be in an arms race. India is trying to act like US in the region but it can't get there.
Population size is one thing and currently, it's working to their advantage from a jobs and labor's standpoint, but the same population is also the weakest link as half the people sleep bed less and they need basic human welfare items like medicine, proper food, etc.
Now, having these conditions in any society, does anyone should really spent billions on weapons and 'introduce' a weapons system? Instead of helping ordinary poor people?
If the answer is yes, then it applies to everyone. What that also mean is that the same country (or either one of them) has the right to waste money on anything, that be conventional or nuclear. I don't think you can separate or complain about how one's doing something that you don't like and the other one is doing something similar that you support.
They are neighbors and sad part is that in a conflict, millions of innocent poor people will suffer. So hopefully common sense would prevail. In the Indo-Pak scenario, there is no 'my dik is bigger than his' deal. Its just mutual destruction in any case. I hope that both government stay free from radical hindus and muslims so the peace can prosper. (For anyone who's going to have an issue with my statement about fundamentalist hindus, please google christian killings in India or Asaam killings of muslims in India). I am not trying to derail the thread so please stay on course.
