They couldn't do anything about it when china gave nuclear tech to pakistan and china today is not the china back then, ditto the case with the USA. china has nuclear weapons and ICBM's(intercontinental ballstic missiles) with which it can deter the USA to a large extent. If pakistan and china mutually agreed to a transfer of control of pakistan's nuclear arsenal to china, then there is nothing the USA can do about it.
Contrary to that India has
possibly scrapped our ICBM program,
Surya, so as to not threaten western nations. But we are working on the 5000 km range
Agni-V (direct jump from Agni-III* or Agni-IV) which will help ensure that India does not have to deploy Agni-III close to our eastern border(to deter china). True that we don't need ICBM's today but who can predict the future and since we probably have the technology, why not develop an ICBM just to show off
.
If china does have control of pakistani nukes then it's even more dangerous for India. In a situation like we are in today, china could launch pakistan's nukes at India and the resultant Indo-pak(proxy china) nuclear war would effectively terminate any Indian challenge to chinese dominance in Asia and on the world stage.
pakistan may be foolish enough to consider china as an ally and India as the enemy but to their credit, pakistan will not give up control of their nuclear weapons to china or the USA. Definitely not the USA. If they did that then pakistan would be reduced to being a vassal of the USA.
If pakistan does have nuclear weapons then the control is firmly with pakistan and nobody else. It would be dangerous on our part going in for a fight and underestimating the enemy. So if we launch surgical strikes or take any military action, we have to assume the worst case scenario will come to pass and prepare accordingly. If it turns out that the USA has control of pakistan's nukes then...no harm no foul.
One aspect to consider about aerial strikes on terrorist camps is collateral damage. The USA with all their technology have not been able to escape collateral damage. So if we have a vision for a future, where PoK would be integrated with India(militarily or otherwise) then we have to consider the further alienation which civilian casualties will have on the people in PoK.
Due to the ineptness of our
netas(all of them), we are already dealing with a china-armed-pakistan on the west, next it's going to be a
china-armed-bangladesh on the east. If India doesn't reach out, same will be the case with Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Myanmar.
Our Prithvi Air Defense anti-ballistic missile had successfully shot down an attacker missile(another Prithvi) in the test. It's an impressive feat to get a direct hit the first time itself *l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/113.gif. But the Prithvi Air Defense is nowhere close to giving us an operational missile defense shield *l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/32.gif.
All Indians have been living under a veil of untruth which has been lifted and today a great truth has been revealed i.e.,
India was originally a part of pakistan!
