THE NUCLEAR NEW-BOY WE SHOULD BE WATCHING IS INDIA

[SwAggeR]

Pooped again haven't you ...too blind to see the nonsense your country fellow is regurgitating. !!

Regurgitating ??

Don't behave like fool , you were flame baiting and I got your bait that's all kid.

 

[illusion8]

Well thanks for pointing out the obvious Eric! Why "should" the world be watching "new boy India" over Pakistan, Iran and N.Korea? India is a responsible democratic nuclear power who cannot be equated to the likes of Pakistan or N.Korea so what is the point in this article? I know the Americans love to get riled up by their fear-mongering media but is this guy really trying to now present INDIA as a nuclear threat to the US?!!



India has a declared no-first use policy, if you don't have any intent of attacking India with a nuclear bomb then you have nothing to fear from India, END OF STORY.

Exactly the nuclear states to watch out for are Pakistan and North Korea who are trigger happy and have First use policy, Pakistan especially is in a more volatile situation with radicals openly attacking and hijacking known nuclear storage sites and defense sites. All terrorist organization converge in Pakistan and who knows when some warheads fall into wrong hands and if it wasn't for the US who formulates and closely monitors the safety and storage plans of nukes for Pakistan we would have seen a few mishaps already.

damn..15000 km missile??seriously??what about something around 6000-8000 range??

Even we doesn't claim than India is working on 15000 km missiles,let alone the fact that A-6's range will be around 6000km,not 10000km..koi v military expert ban jata hai yaar..

And India is lagging in Nuclear Arms race with both Pakistan and China..what about them???

He must be smoking something from Af-Pak boarder region while jotting down those taller than Everest claims.

What more...start proliferating.

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka must nuke up to defend themselves.

So should Vietnam, Philipines, Southe Korea, Japan and all of ASEAN

It's so easy to troll!

Factbox: U.S. has allocated $20 billion for Pakistan | Reuters

Where as Pakistan spend 90 B$$ on US WOT!

 

[black_jack]

According to the World Bank, 32.7% of Indians subsist below the international poverty level of $1.25 daily, and 68.7% on less than $2 daily. Aid agencies say 33% of Indian children are malnourished.

some times u guys say we have 900 million poors and sometimes u say 32 % ,
Bhaijaan ek figure decide kar lo

You mean US has put gun to your forehead and is harassing you ???
I thought you had defence budget of 5 billion $ ie considering it was consistent since 2002 also. 5*11 =55 b $ that if you wasted all that money on your western boarder.
But Any credible link to support your sweeping statement will help.

The author got it right by saying quoting world bank statistics of 32.7%. Also he got it this right as well.

Delhi is making steady progress in reducing poverty and disease, and in trying to break down the pernicious caste system that dooms a quarter of Indians to lives of misery.

As the world bank says that India is right on target to get the poverty levels to single digits by 2021. Excellent article by the author highlighting only the long term concern for US.

Democracies are the good guys of the world. US and india may compete for resources but they will never have an ideological battle which causes wars. they have trade wars and things like immigration patents but nothing more serious

While the United States beats the war drums over North Korea and Iran’s long-ranged nuclear armed missiles –which they don’t even possess – Washington remains curiously silent about the arrival of the world’s newest member of the big nuke club – India.

In January, Delhi revealed a new, 800km-ranged submarine launched missile (SLBM) designated K-15. Twelve of these strategic, nuclear-armed missiles will be carried by India’s first of a class of domestically built nuclear-powered submarine, “Arihant.” India is also working on another SLBM, K-5, with a range of some 2, 800km.

These new nuclear subs and their SLBM’s will give India the capability to strike many high-value targets around the globe. Equally important, they complete India’s nuclear triad of nuclear weapons delivered by aircraft, missiles, and now sea that will be invulnerable to a decapitating first strike from either Pakistan or China.

Last February, it was revealed that India is fast developing a new, long-ranged, three-stage ballistic missile, Agni-VI. This powerful missile is said to be able to carry up to ten independently targetable nuclear warheads, known as MIRV’s.

Agni-VI’s range is believed to be at least 10,000km,

putting all of China, Japan, Australia, and Russia in its range. A new 15,000km missile capable of hitting North America is also in the works under cover of India’s civilian space program. India is also developing accurate cruise missiles and miniaturized nuclear warheads to fit into their small diameter.

These important strategic developments will put India ahead of other nuclear powers France, Britain, North Korea, and Pakistan, about equal in striking power to Israel and China, and not too far behind the United States and Russia.

Delhi says it needs a nuclear triad because of the growing threat of China, whose conventional and nuclear forces are being rapidly modernized.

This writer has been reporting on the nuclear arms race between India and China since the late 1990’s. China has replaced Pakistan as India’s primary nuclear threat. Even so, Indian and Pakistani nuclear forces remain on a frightening hair-trigger alert within only a 3-5 minute warning time of enemy attack, making the Kashmir cease-fire line (or Line of Control) the world’s most dangerous border.

The Bush administration began quietly aiding India’s nuclear program with nuclear fuel when India had a shortage of fissile material. Some advanced technology from the US and India’s second largest arms supplier, Israel, has also aided Delhi’s nuclear and missile delivery programs.

India, as I wrote years ago after one of its big nuclear tests, is feeling its “nuclear Viagra.” Most Indians take great pride in their strategic nuclear programs as their way into the great power’s exclusive nuclear club.

But not all Indians are so delighted, particularly those on the left who ask how their nation, with one third of all the world’s poorest people, can afford to spend tens of billions on advanced weapons, including nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, and ICBM’s.

According to the World Bank, 32.7% of Indians subsist below the international poverty level of $1.25 daily, and 68.7% on less than $2 daily. Aid agencies say 33% of Indian children are malnourished.

Delhi is making steady progress in reducing poverty and disease, and in trying to break down the pernicious caste system that dooms a quarter of Indians to lives of misery.

This, critics claim, is no time to be posturing as a world power when Mother India still has feet of clay.

The Bush administration was totally unaware that India’s advent as a major nuclear power whose weapons might one day challenge the United States. Bush & Co. wanted India to bulk up as a competitor to China, a permanent enemy of the Republican hard right. Today’s Republicans think similarly.

India is a great democracy where politicians, not generals, make policy. She is a staunch friend of the United States, where over one million Indians now live. True enough, but we have seen there are no permanent friends in world politics, only permanent interests.

One day mighty India may vie for influence with the US for Mideast and Central Asian oil, and control of the Indian Ocean’s vital sea lanes. But not today, as all eyes are on pipsqueak North Korea and dilapidated Iran.

My name is not Eric S. Margolis and he is not a pakistani.I didn't write this so before Trolls jump to personal attacks lets get that out of the way.

BS Article.

1. India has no development plans of building 15000km range ICBM

2. How come these development will put India ahead of France & Britain on nuclear terms in near future

3. From which angle does US has a threat from India's defence program

4. How the hell has Israel helped India in her nuclear program

The article is biased and it's sole purpose is to create unnecessary hype.

Such unsubstantiated crap is only talked in pakistani media and talk shows.. and the funny thing is all the strategists ( wannabe? ) seem to unanimously agree to it.. ! They are funny people !

Some people like this guy have no shame at all. Some doesnt care to think, who are funding their nation at all.

And if you had a brain that works, you will comprehend that the image wasn't exactly created by me or some other Pakistani artist.
Who ever created it is in a better position than you to know what he's doing hence the acknowledgement of his work on some site.
Now if you know the meaning of the term "Shame" then focus on the topic rather than your usual verbal diarrhoea. !!!
