1)Economic point
Let me put is this way if either one of us is out, the cost in order to achieve that would be huge no one is denying but worth every effort as the other remaining party has no longer need to worry about an enemy and the focus would be entirely on the economic front and development
Hi! Nice to have come across your posts. These are quite articulate, well phrased and forthcoming. Bear with me if I may not reciprocate the same, in terms of quality, i.e.
I would like to put forward my opinion on your observation above.
It appears here, you have assumed that as a outcome of a full fledged war, one of the opponents will be completely wiped out of the equation while the other side will call them victorious. I believe that will not be the case, unless of course, god forbid, nuclear option is activated. This, again, will result in wiping out of both the sides. However, I am assuming that in spite of being engaged in a full fledged war, the strategist on both sides would have the minimum common sense to not activate this dreaded option. Hence I would like to visualize the outcome differently. Both sides will lost heavily to the point that they will accept (again?) outsider's (UN?) insisted cease-fire option and will only go backward (economically) by at least 30 years. None of us have become independent enough to defy the World pressure as some of the so called responsible countries are doing. BTW, India has a slight upper hand in this regard, but still not enough. Also, even if, one of us is defeated heavily and forced by the victor to forfeit whatever deemed necessary to please the victor with time, the defeated country will again rise up. I am again assuming that the defeated country will not be merged with the victor here. Classical example: Germany after WW-II, separation and on the brink of economic disaster, it has risen, and how! So, in another 30-50 years, this forceful solution to the problems will be defied the earlier defeated country and the vicious cycle will begin again. Yes my friend, we need to understand this very clearly (without just thinking of our lifetime, but about the time of our children): THIS IS A VICIOUS CYCLE. It will come back to haunt either us or our children.
Now, unlike some members, I don't have any readymade solution with me. My stance is clear: I am ready to listen and evaluate all options suggested by others and at the time, try formulating my own doctrine to suggest, which, unfortunately, is yet to be conceived.
