How To Prevent Walking Into Trap Set By Pak? Ex Navy Chief
Arun Prakash Says...

"India should have started off by saying anything that comes
across the LoC or the International Border would be treated
as an act of war and we would respond accordingly," Admiral

Looks like the hawks have immediately pounced
on this thing.

Top Pakistani officials HAVE used the word "war".

Now India too.

There are reports - I can't confirm them - that
there HAS been some shooting between Pak and Indian
soldiers at the border line.

Both countries hate each other. Both countries
have nuclear weapons - and tend to think of them
as "just a bigger bomb". Given the pop density
and crap infrastructure in the big cities even
a 'small' nuclear explosion would kill millions.

Plus, it would all give China its excuse to move
in to "help"/"stabilize" ......
