The recent tussle between Pakistan and India can very well result in total nuclear war. According to Pakistan’s nuclear policy, it can use nuclear weapons in a war with India if,1) India imposes a naval blockade against Pakistan2) It completely stops the flow of river water supply to Pakistan3) It tries to attack our nuclear sites4) It invades or captures one of our major cities. Since the world has not seen a nuclear war, it is difficult to imagine a modern one; one’s mind wanders into Hiroshima and Nagasaki and how the atomic bombings ended the second world war. Potential nuclear war was averted only due to Clinton’s rigorous diplomacy and rational leadership in Pakistan and India. Hence, nuclear war, or its avoidance, depends entirely on how the Indian government decides to proceed next.
