India is unable to fight a two front war with Pakistan and China

[Shadow_Hunter]

I don't think Indian military will utilize nuclear weapons the price India would pay for that would be infinite. Indian military and government would much rather accept a major conventional military defeat at the hands of China and Pakistan and lose Indian occupied Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh. In that scenario India would still survive and continue as a battered nation but at least would not be annihilated and still function. Rather then risking a nuclear war with two major nuclear powers in the region. Unless of course the Indian Government and Indian top brass go completely insane, because even they know once you use one nuclear weapon you can never go back.

By the same logic Pakistanis will also prefer a conventional defeat at the hands of India rather than going nuclear? Or have the Pakistani government and military brass have already gone completely insane?

Lol...Playing lot of Civilization is not good mate .Go out and have some fresh air.

Kid I don't play those games, learn to accept the realistic possibility. Even your own military planners and former COAS stated this as a real possibility.

Your post suggest a something very close to it.

The real question is can Pakistan fight a 2 way war? Iran just attacked Pakistans border a few days ago and they have India on the other side.

Nukes will most probably be used in an all out conflict on 2 fronts. Why else would a country invest money into such weapons if not to make the enemy realize that the cost of satisfying its greed for territory would be unbearable. Good luck with gaining Kashmir and AP when the home base turns into a nuclear wasteland .

"White race"? Um, have you actually been to America in the last 50 years?

Your average American "white race" office picnic.

Commander in Chief of the "white race" republic and the 'first family'.

No war with China is happening. They never interfered in any Indo-Pak war, even when Pakistan got divided into two and 93,000 of their soldiers surrendered.

During the Kargil war, they supported the Indian position.

They may use Pakistan as a little client state, no more.

Pakistan will never dare to attack in any case. They have known the reality since 1965 and it has only got better from there.

If pakistan can use nuclear weapons at drop of hat, why cant india??

If the scenario is so bleak where indian unity is threatened it will compulsion of any government of the day to use all the weapons at its disposal. Indian leader and military will make it clear to everyone, if it goes down any chance other side also goes with it.

Question is not china-pakistan attacking india at same time. Forget pakistan, will china take such dangerous gamble...

Well true, they always lookout for their own self-interest, got to hand it to them.

Pakistan just wants to believe that China will lift a finger for it.

It has never happened in the past and their people in the know realize it will not happen in future as well.

There is no Indo Pak war happening as well. Pakistan will try some stunts every few years because not doing so equals defeat in the eyes of PA, more than losing half the country or a hundred thousand soldiers surrendering to India!

That is what we are dealing with and let's get on with it.

I am fully aware of my country's past. I am 51 years old and lived through some of that and while no country, anywhere, can ever rid itself of various kinds of discrimination, (Including your own.), the difference between those who who discriminate today and back then, is that today....they are criminals breaking the law, when the do so.

 

[SrNair]

Difficult? Well, first try fighting one front only. Two front is a distant dream. You need at least 1200+ serious 4th Gen Combat aircraft to have any chance in a two front war.



Yes.

Russia just walked into Ukraine, blew a passenger airliner out of the sky and the world went like, let's stop beef exports to Russia.

That is Russia .And China can also sustain that eventuality.

But Pakistan cant move a single small finger without anypermission from west.Reason is simple.
Your economy is much depended on IMF and World Bank and your prime jet in your AF is F16 and I dont think US let you to use it against us for China .China can fight with India world cant do nothing about it.

not always it counts as a crime ... lots of discrimination against brown and Latino peoples are still never come under police consideration .. and this is just racism based on black white ... forget about the Religious discrimination ... ( Of course that happen in my country , you know why ? because we never learn to follow our religion )

 

[SrNair]

That is how we play our diplomatic games.
