Wow, someone seems to be having a hell of a day being delusional.
Getting personal or nervous ?
Being a Moderate here you can come out from no where and type few brave words with fair support of Pakistani fan following; doesn't make your assertion valid.
War mongering Pakistan ?? Seriously you need to look at the attitude of your own country's politicians, media and generals before pointing at us to be war mongers.
Would you mind backing up with some links, before i show videos of your Politicians and masses here. I was answering to Blain who thinks not having conventional weapon edge(F 16) etc. Pakistan will go for nuclear option straight away. In military terms the Pakistani nuclear threshold will go further low in that case; if someone has to make his long laborious post in short. I does not want to seem rude but that is war mongering of its kind and very offencive in all senses.
And how US is pimping India, it seems India is more of a proxy for US then Pakistan to be one for China, as China has no fear of taking on India, while India is afraid of taking on China, reason being India has agreed to become a proxy of US and getting all these new & latest weapons to counter China. Its India which is getting weapons from US for China, raising divisions and strike formations against China and talks of two front wars, not the other way around.
What a mix of emotional gushes and China China worship.
India has always maintained 3:1 divisions on key Indo-Chinese borders up north even at the times when Pakistan was acting proxy for both and when both USA, PAK & ~ China were hostile. Ask PLA why they can not maintain high saturation of Army on Indo- China border. India has common sense not to believe in confronting with its bigger neighbour but to maintain effective defence. Pakistan is free to make timely alliances, may vow to eat grass, can burden mammoth defence budget, can do mis-adventures like 1965, kargil and 26/11 to deter the India not us.
So clearly, its India which has become a more loyal proxy, when compared to Pakistan.
Do you have any moral high grounds to call India as US proxy? You were party to China post independence till today, USA during cold war and again during WOT. The only interesting thing here one can see that at all times it was catering your animosity against India.Now USA is telling you that India is not an enemy and he is directing your military resources on WOT, you all are getting offended.
And Can't you see how India work along with its partners. Cant you see how civil nuclear deal has cause political turmoils in India just recently. We are not a dumb society which will let India as a military base of Americans or Russians against anyone. We are a nation who refused refueling US jets during Gulf war. Furthermore we are buying US war machines with our hard earn money and open tenders. As far as Russia is concerned she was leasing us nuclear subs during Cold war and is still doing after cold war.
I am amazed with the both of yours imagination (cause you have jumped in) that USA will be responsible for Pakistan's nuclear threshold which Pakistan developed in vacuum (first) and brushed it up with the support of China. USA do not make policies for Pakistan only or India only these days, so one must try not to cry reading what US thinks about both on Individual cases.
Its not USA's liability or worry if Pakistan is losing its conventional edge and lowering its nuclear threshold against India. Pakistan is free to lower its sensitive (can be lowered if F-16 will be switched of during war)nuclear threshold, can add this clause in its nuclear doctrine and India will answer that appropriately.
Now you have joined blain and has shown me your sheer ignorance and typical allergy with every Indian comments. i can tell you upfront that you are not aware of current Pakistani nuclear programme and doctrine or just being hostile to me.
Every single procurement today Pakistan is getting or is planning is not very superior by quality and quantity ! if one compare with what India is getting and Planning. However is still credible enough to called as deterrent to India, as any weapon in Pakistan inventory will kill Indians and is a headache for sure. India has to work up a counter for the same. Interestingly Pakistan's nuclear stock pile is bigger than Indian and is (alleged) still growing.
So how one earth (again) F-16 strings has to anything to do with going nuclear against India. Pakistanis can become breathless boasting that their nukes are ultimate deterrent to India but still can dare to do nuclear war mongering if US F-16 will come with strings attached. How absurd, i mean is there any one here who can ask Pakistanis zip up, cause there will be no nuclear war cause nor India neither Pakistan know or prepare for nuclear war and nuclear battle field.
Regards.
