to hinder India's progress even if little
Idk man, this sounds like it will never succeed in the long run and only hinder Pakistan.
India is already quite run down, but the rich ones are actually too influential for the run down to show effect I feel.
No, nukes are irrelevant for conquest. We are entering a new era. Nations will start fighting for resources again. Just look what Trump wants to do. Armies are necessary to avoid being conquered by neighboors. You need boots on the ground to conquer nations. All that military paraphernalia was useless on Afghanistan, btw.
That is literally my point lol.
Idk how you guys approach war and these top war nations. But when I go into discussing nations that have nukes I usually try to consider their economic position and the maintainance costs of their military.
Russias nuke deterrence plans have shown to be ineffective and hell I don't want to imagine the costs to maintain their nuclear arsenal. That is pure insanity. Firing such a rocket costs millions.
As you said India has more feet on the ground and that is why I wonder this war even occurs. The whole panic making of a nuclear escalation is just not making any sense considering the costs. This is just a border and ideology conflict, it's not that we know this is a ressource battle like Ukraine seems to have evolved to be.
It would overall be more efficient for India to attack Pakistan if they would actually be able to obtain new ressources. Else there would be cheaper methods to resolve such a conflict. Easily by freezing and third party border investigations, which both Pakistan and India have been offering constantly.
That is why my other point is, why I wonder this happens, because is there maybe something else to gain for any party? Which is also a very relevant topic imho.
