Discuss: Will a nuclear war erupt between India and Pak in future?
Washington: The risk of war between India and Pakistan will remain fairly high over the next 15 years and both countries will continue to build up their nuclear and missile forces, a US National Intelligence Council projection for 2015 has claimed.
The threat of major conflict between India and Pakistan will overshadow all other regional issues during the next 15 years, it claimed adding both countries will see weapons of mass destruction as a strategic imperative and will continue to amass nuclear warheads and build a variety of missile delivery systems.
India most likely will expand the size of its nuclear force. Pakistan’s nuclear and missile forces also will continue to increase. A noticeable increase in the size of India’s arsenal, however, would prompt Pakistan to further increase the size of its own arsenal, it claimed.
Continued turmoil in Afghanistan and Pakistan will spill over into Kashmir and other areas of the subcontinent, prompting India to take more aggressive preemptive and retaliatory actions, it said.
The future being contemplated by US intelligence officials is part of a long-ranging forecasting endeavour compiled in the National Intelligence Council 2015 Project which seeks to come up with a range of scenarios the world could face then.
Any reports or predictions by the US Intelligence agencies should be taken with a pinch of salt. We Indians can produce our own reports and know exatly where things are headed.
I see a bright future with open borders between India and Pakistan. With India playing the role of the big brother to Pakistan. Just like America does to Canada.
isnt the US helping INDIA with developing the ANTI MISSLE sheild?? Also i heard these both countries signed a pack to SHARE HIGH TECH inventions and ideas! anyone have a link about the recently signed pack ?
CIA’s world trends also predict that there won’t be any pakistan by 2015… what was the last thing CIA predicted and it happened? None! CIA should stick to coups and helping war criminals do the damage and get away!
Whenever a troublemaker wants to prepare the ground for its long term interest it always creates an air of anxiety, turmoil and fear. This is the best card for the US to play at the moment in terms of its long term sovereignty to ensure that Pakistan and India remain in conflict for its own commercial interests (weapons etc). The US knows that with a press of a button it can cause a war between the two nations at its discretion. Well done the neo-conservatives aka real life shaitans (RLS) of this world.
