Nuclear Pakistan has destabilising effects: US expert
Nuclear weapons in Pakistan's hands have "corrosively destabilising" effects in the region and provide a license for the country's sub-conventional wars against India, a top American expert has said.
"Unfortunately nuclear weapons in Pakistani hands have had larger and more corrosively destabilising effects: they have enabled Pakistan to pursue its revanchist aims of recovering the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir by force, or more specifically, by unleashing state-supported terrorism against India in the hope of weakening Indian control over the contested territories," said Ashley Tellis from Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
In an interview to The Cipher Brief, Tellis said this stratagem is based on the assumption that India will be unable to retaliate against Pakistan conventionally for fear of sparking a nuclear holocaust.
"Pakistan's nuclear weapons, then, are intended not merely to provide deterrence against Indian attacks, but more ambitiously, a license for Pakistan's sub-conventional wars against India," Tellis said in response to a question.
"This behaviour, flowing from Pakistan's possession of nuclear weapons, is what makes deterrence in South Asia more unstable than it would otherwise be— if Pakistan's strategic objectives were as conservative as India's," he said.

This dynamic, in its totality, suggests that India's approach to nuclear deterrence is closer to that of the United States: both nations view their nuclear weapons primarily as deterrents against nuclear attacks by others, he observed.
"Pakistan's behaviour, however, exemplifies nuclear coercion rather than simply deterrence: to that degree, it mimics Russian behaviour more than it does the US practice of deterrence," Tellis said.
In a separate paper, Will Edwards, International Producer with The Cipher Brief, said Pakistan has long viewed nuclear weapons as a hedge against Indian aggression in disputed territories and a counterweight to India's conventional military superiority.
The difference is that now Pakistan has chosen to outstrip India's nuclear forces by drastically increasing fissile materials production and to employ smaller, tactical nuclear devices in a bid to counteract India's widening conventional supremacy, he wrote.
Currently, Pakistan out produces India in fissile material at a ratio of 4:1.

But i thought India has More Nuclear Plants then Pakistan? NO?
Ashley Tellis from Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, why your yanki doodle arse is on fire, we are using our capabilities against our declared and known mortal enemy, not against you lot.
Well, it shows once more that Pakistan has one very powerful undeclared mortal enemy though some of uncle sam's friends on this forum bray like a donkey that india is Pakistan's only enemy.
Yea, there is no shortage of fools among us.
But to be honest, its not America as country which acts as hostile to Pakistan , and who propping India up against us. It is those people who control America from behind the scene who hate Pakistan with passion. America is a juggernaut but without any Captian in charge. Its is remotely controlled however. And those who got control are hiding in a very tiny room and moving the juggernaut over Muslim lands one by one trampling them over, cheering each other. They could have trampled Pakistan long ago as well but unfortunately for them, Pakistan know where they are and can destroy that little room they are hiding in. That is the reason they are propping India up as a sacrificial lamb in a hope that in a conflict with India, Pakistan will be damaged beyond repair and that is when they can make their move.
