President Trump formulates foreign policy on Twitter. That is not necessarily a model for other wise, mature, responsible personages to emulate. 2. No First Use may be regarded as virtuous in that it, by implication, commits a nation to not using nuclear weapons against a non nuclear weapons state. The US pointedly does not subscribe to NFU but no one seriously expects it to use nukes against a non nuclear weapons state. 3. So NFU really boils down to which cowboy will fire his six shooter first. In the ensuing exchange of fire, both will be Dead. India’s – or China’s – NFU doctrine is an assertion of sanity that contributes to stability.

If anything, there is a need for India and Pakistan to talk on this limited point, remove a potentially unsettling factor out of the already tetchy relationship. 4. Too much macho talk nowadays. Feeding into an ugly, jingoistic mood. It could end badly.
