The whole idea of dealing with India is incredibly hypocritical given how we treat North Korea and Iran, and is not at all wise in the long term. Nobody has ever seriously considered India a threat to the West, and those who trumpet this agreement as a good thing are delusional if they believe that.<BR/><BR/>India's danger lies in the fact that a war between it and one of its neighbors could either spiral out of control (especially if the opponent is China) and become a nuclear WW3 or, even if it fizzles out after one salvo, turn into a disaster well beyond the capacity of the world's medical system to cope with. Furthermore, if the Robock study is correct, the world's climate -- and therefore everyone's food supply, etc. -- could be severely shocked for several years by even a regional nuclear war.Jay Denarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074661450189718921noreply@blogger.com
