Childish posts here. Nobody seems to understand the horror of nuclear weapons. Please watch this mockumentary (made in 1971) to understand what a nuclear weapon can do. Maybe, just maybe, this moronic obsession with nukes in PP will be tempered if enough people watch it.
I’ve not read a single comment endorsing the use of Nuclear weapons. Perhaps you should direct your concern towards users who claim India developed the bomb for ‘fun’.
India acquired nukes because many other countries had them and India did not want to be left behind in defense requirements. Pretty much the reason why Pakistan acquired them.
Many other countries? Only 5 had Nukes at the time: US, UK, Russia, China, and France.
I don't think anyone was ridiculing Pakistan's nuclear acquisition in the other thread, it was the school of thinking that people of Pakistan and people in Palestine are alive only because of the nukes and would have been invaded and murdered till now, without them, is stupid.
I think you were reading the wrong thread; in addition there’ve been a number of threads in the past where Pakistan’s nuclear capability has been mocked and questioned by Indians PPers. Where are those Indians who mocked Pakistanis for taking pride in our Nuclear capability? This thread was a chance for them to gloat and rejoice in India’s nuclear achievement.
It’s very simple; no one questions the nuclear capability of non-Islamic nations including Israel, France, UK, USA, China, Russia, and India. There’s a reason why India acquired the bomb with the help of USA. Why and for what purpose? Why did the USA help and encourage India in acquiring the bomb but spent years thwarting Pakistan’s efforts? Can you answer this with clear cut honesty?
The school of thought with respect to Palestine, Pakistan, and the atomic bomb is every bit significant and relevant if one sees the broader picture. If Pakistan didn’t have the bomb, If Iran wasn’t perceived as a Nuclear threat, then the politics of the Middle East would be very different today; I defy anyone to deny this notion. Israel were unmoved by countless international requests to assimilate with the Palestinians but both advise and appeals fell on deaf ears. As a result one nation had the sand to stand up to Western hypocrisy, Iran. The result is evidently clear, Israel is now in position to compromise; such a feat would be nigh on impossible had Islamic nations not acquired the atomic bomb.
Moreover, it was the West that dubbed Pakistan’s achievement as the ‘Islamic’ bomb. Why the distinction? When was the last time you heard of the West invoking terms such as The ‘Jewish’ Bomb? The ‘Hindu’ bomb? The ‘Christian’ Bomb? The ‘Buddhist’ Bomb? You getting my point here? The first ever distinction based on a religion was coined by the West. Why the exclusive distinction with respect to Islam?
So let’s get real here. Every man and his dog in the subcontinent knows that an inherent animosity exists between Pakistan and India for the simple reason both nations were created on the back of two opposing religions. Religion is the fundamental key in global politics whether you like it or not. Meaning, India developed the bomb for two purposes; to intimidate Islam, and to defend itself from Pakistan. Pakistan developed the bomb for two purposes; to protect Islam, and to defend itself from India.
PS: Let the record reflect, not once have I endorsed the use of Nuclear Weapons.
Just for fun, we have no dirty ambition
