For avid nuclear analysts, the India-China watch has been rather boring, whereas nuclear noises emanate from Islamabad every time there's a skirmish with Pakistan.
US State Secretary Michael Pompeo said Iran’s nuclear extortion will lead to increased pressure on it and further isolate it from the international community.
The accused smuggled US goods to entities that are threats to US security for their ties to Pakistan’s weapons programmes, said the US Department of Justice.
Located in the industrial area of Boisar in Maharashtra’s Thane district, Tarapur has endured for 50 years but fears are being raised about its safety after Fukushima disaster.
US president Donald Trump said discussions between the countries would be about making lesser nuclear weapons, and possibly even getting rid of some of that 'tremendous firepower'.
The IndiGo crisis is nothing short of a threat to India’s stability. Could it be an experiment? Can this happen in any other crucial sector like power or railways?
November exports to the US saw 10% growth from the previous month. Overall, in the first 8 months this fiscal, the merchandise exports to the US touched has touched $59bn.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
India should not become a loser by unnecessarily being concerned about the use of nuclear weapons. Brave people and brave nations focus on honour, this worldly attachment should not be more important than national pride. If someone like China doesn’t allow India to live in peace, that country should be sent to hell – even if India has to go to hell to redeem national honor.
India is scared of power. India can only bully all it’s neighboring countries except China, rather accept as Master. 20 soldiers died couldn’t hit a straw at China. In terms of pulwama Modi danced so well by killing 10 trees.
Author misses the real point………..When IAF did Balakot……….PAF hit back within 24 hours………..On the other hand When China killed 20 + brave Indian soldiers …what did Modi do??………..When Modi cannot even utter the word” China”………….what to talk of nuclear option!!!
Yeh zaroori nahi ke aap nuclear weapons ke istemaal karne ki official statement do. Jese rajnath singh ne recently stand off ki wajah se pokhran la visit kiya ye bhi aik dhamki thi. Or government ke official media wings ki statement bhi aik dhamki hoti he. Lekin India to number one he propaganda me jese aaj kal India ke all media par sirf war propaganda ho raha he. Lekin Pakistan se agar koi choti is bhi baat hoti he to isko Indian media aese show karta he jese Pakistan ne nuclear weapons ka India par hamla kar diya ho.
Indeed, the point is well made that both China and India have a mature and realistic approach to the (non) use of N-weapons, reflecting a “quiet sense of nuclear stability”. Both countries possess clear, deliberately unpredictable (and therefore ‘unhackable’) command-and control systems for N-weapons incorporating fail-safe mechanisms as well as assured second-strike capabilities which are a mutual assurance against their use against one another. That having been said, this dynamic N-balance has hitherto been weighed in favour of China because of its ‘iron friend’ Pakistan – a nation whose entire N-weapons program has been created from concept to deployment stage by China through the involvement of another Chinese ally: North Korea. Unlike India and China, the Pakistan establishment (essentially, the military; for Pakistan has no strategic community on civilian street with any say or control over its N-assets) has had no compunctions about resorting to nuclear blackmail against India. This strategy, it must be admitted, has worked in Pakistan’s favour till the pre-emptive land and air strikes launched by India against Pakistan during the last few years. China, of course, has been fully aware of Pakistan’s machinations in this regard. Nothin will change in the near future; for India, ceaseless vigilance on both the LAC and LOC must continue.
Very matured analysis and apt in such a situation where everyone jumps the gun
Ni.

I am no expert but using common sense.
Dragon has palm and 5 finger policy.
Palm it has already annexed. Half of Ladakh is already gone since 62. You can feel the heat in other 4 fingers.
This policy is set in stone for dragon so if bharat and its policy makers think otherwise then it’s foolhardy.
The question now is why pursue this policy.
Again a common sense answer.
All these finger areas are huge resources of water tributaries.
Brahmaputra originated from Tibet dragon has it.
Sindhu originates from mansarovar dragon has it.
Let me tell you there will be no pull back from pongong tso as you guessed it..source of water.
With Nepal in its bag bharat should worry about Ganga as its the next target.
Because both India and China are mature nations unlike Pakistan and North Korea.
Have we ever heard of anyone other than Pakistan use the word ” N “
Author misses the real point………..When IAF did Balakot……….PAF hit back within 24 hours………..On the other hand When China killed 20 + brave Indian soldiers …what did Modi do??………..When Modi cannot even utter the word” China”………….what to talk of nuclear option!!!
Because the use of N is reserved for librandus to use.
? liberals want nuclear warfare? u dumb?
bro are we really gonna act like they didn’t say “n-word” on the headline to draw clicks
