Pakistan willing to use nuclear weapons to ensure its survival if necessary

[IceCold]

Does the Air Chief said that he will nuke Pakistan? What he said that before Pakistan can use nukes on India, he is going take them out.

As on waters, the treaty was safe even after 4 wars between India and Pakistan. Until Modi, India never threatened to divert waters flowing into Pakistan. Even Modi threatened only once that too after Uri. He never issues weekly threats to Pakistan.

We are going in circles, Ok let me ask you this when was the last time Pakistan said something about preemptive surgical strikes on India? Or when was the last time Pakistan said about developing a doctrine of rapid thrust into India and capturing Indian areas?

kill few hundred

On a serious note, battlefield nukes are not for your soldiers it is for the heavy equipment/tanks etc. We have no issues with you sending all your soldiers with a rifle or two and whatever else they can carry. We the civilians have enough weapons to deal with them.

And history in 65 says, it won't be an eye for an eye.

Some of you guys sure are arrogant, and pretty off the mark when it comes to history.

You attacked Kashmir, expecting a resistance in Kashmir by IA limited to J&K.

But we decide to attack Lahore. And push back in J&K.

But you didn't get Lahore... so nobody won genius. It's called a stalemate.

But what if India destroys Pak nuclear sites and Pak is left with only a handful of tactical nukes?What good will it be?

You can't be serious?

Yours is a great army with no leader, what civilians can do if army can't do...

Who said anything about conquering Lahore. Our intent was to relieve the pressure on J&K, it's been known to everyone, but some of you guys think we really want to conquer Punjab. And how can it be a stalemate when you started the attack and you didn't conquer Kashmir which was the intent. While we defended our land and took the war to your doorstep.

Talk about changing the goal post.

Just like your general, you're making a poor attempt to save face. Sad really

Islamabad is willing to use nuclear weapons to ensure its survival.

Does anybody else find that statement self-contradictory? There is no survival in a nuclear war in South Asia given the arsenal on both sides.

not really.
the calculation merely is to time it and use a proper cover that your first strike is not countered for simply due to economics.
that is true for Pakistan India or any other nation about to use its nuclear arsenal.

Oh you put a media report. Is there any official document that details our plans to conquer Punjab

 

[Solomon2]

“We do not want to use nuclear capability but if our existence comes under threat, who do we have these nuclear weapons for?”...If India tries to destabilizing Pakistan politically, including by creating large scale internal subversion.

While the minister is not ruling out using nuclear weapons as a tool of conquest, this is the first declaration by a declared nuclear power that I know of that baldly states that their purpose is to defeat internal rebellion: we now know what West Pakistan would have done to East Pakistan if it had possessed a nuclear weapon in 1971.

So you really think Pakistan can survive a nuclear exchange?

you are calling it an exchange thus implying the other party is using it as well.
i am just saying Pakistan can survive a scenario where it uses a nuclear warhead and not get one in return.

So you assume that Pakistan can use a nuclear weapon and expect any other party not to retaliate with full force? Not a likely scenario.
