I have absolutely no clue as to what you mean here.
i mean nuclear bullying may encourage wanna be states to develop accident prone nuclear programme or may reduce the tolerance/threshold in future.
It's gone down. Way down. Most of NATO/Warsaw Pact countries are extremely capable of producing their own nukes. Some even did. When I went in, 4th Brigade was in the process of withdrawing the last tac nukes from Canada's inventory. As a result, only 4 countries of the entire Fulda Gap armies built and maintained nukes.
i can provide reliable links(physicstoday.org etc) where china has/is proliferated nuclear technology to Pakistan or actually detonated herself these bombs plutonium designs in pakistan. For china is now Tom and jerry show just she has to switch on the pakistani CD player.
Even still, the entire nuclear inventory went down from a high of 62,000 nukes world combined to around 22,000 -23,000.
The world today is a lot safer than when I was in.
World is less safer as 1/6 of humanity lives in india given the fact only you trust over optimistic Dr. jeffery neither USA nor india and not even china herself. Have you heard china is changing her historic posture of The Minimum Means of Reprisal/Revenge( in chines ). Due to
1.Overwhelming U.S. superiority in conventional weapons (particularly advanced precision-guided munitions) undermines traditional nuclear deterrence.
2.The United States is seen as having used force in a variety of circumstances over the past decade, often without UN Security Council authorization; this has created some unease in Russia and China over a possible U.S. role in existing or potential regional conflicts (for example, a clash over Taiwan or a conflict similar to Russia’s 2008 war with Georgia over South Ossetia, as i mentioned before Iraq and pakistan in stone age post 9/11).
3.China perceive U.S. missile defense plans as potentially harming their ability to deter a U.S. strike. Th e U.S. justification for missile defenses—the need to intercept missiles launched by “rogue” states such as Iran and North Korea—is not regarded as credible in Beijing.
4.The 2001 Nuclear Posture Review issued by the George W. Bush administration created the impression that the United States plans to integrate nuclear weapons into an array of other military assets and lower the nuclear threshold
India is easy to read on this score. She's about 40-60 nukes short of the 200 she wants.
No india was never in position to afford these liabilities, before pokhran II for 30 years there was never a need to improvise nuclear warhead.
Pakistan is even easier. She reached the limit of applicable uranium designs and wants to move onto plutonium designs. 64kgs of urnaium is required for critical mass as opposed to 8kgs of Pu. For any decent guidance package for her missiles, she needs to free up weight and room.
They wont mind doing that, China factor!
Only answer to satisfy my insanity is that why china was ineffectual in opposing exemption to india by NSG countries.
We have the signatures of every nulcear reactor in the world, upto and including SSBNs.
Pardon my ignorance, can you provide my links sir. I be very thankful to you.
With a warhead? It's got to be armed before it can be initiated. Though there was one test device that was going to be used after Nagasaki that the scientists jokingly want to assemble on the spot instead of being in the air.
Every bit of evidence suggests that your targeteers are fully aware of these factors.
Why US is engaging China and Russia on Nuclear Disarmament ?
