China vs. India War: On The Doorstep, Knocking
As Chinese and Indian forces remain locked in a standoff in their own, no-less-volatile border conflict, the greatest possibility of nuclear war is still hovering over the disputed Kashmir area between India vs Pakistan.
Amid a backdrop of former Indian defense minister Mulayam Signh Yadav warning that Beijing was preparing for a military scenario that involves the use of nuclear warheads to resolve the month-long standoff on the China-Indian border, New Delhi may be considering a reinterpretation of its nuclear doctrine, which currently prohibits the first use of nukes.
The nuclear triangle of Pakistan, India and China is as volatile as ever, with tensions rapidly rising on the line of control on the Pak-Indian border. As the two nuclear-equipped nations continue trading accusations for ceasefire violations, reports of India losing its patience with the no-first use nuclear doctrine continue to mount.
The present nukes doctrine of New Delhi orders the nation to resort to its nuclear arsenal, which includes around 120-130 nuclear warheads, only in the event of retaliation against Pakistan, which owns an estimated from 130 to 140 warheads.
