If nuclear weapons are a matter of national prestige and power, what can go wrong when flaunting them?
China, India, North Korea and Pakistan possess these arms in Asia, but no nuclear war involving any of these countries would remain confined to their limited region: The holocaust is going to be truly global.
This fear must act as a real deterrence against the use of nuclear weapons to annihilate your adversary.
There is zero scope for trying your luck in this area.
Still, nuclear weapons are sometimes mentioned in arguments between India and Pakistan.
Most possessors of nuclear bombs as well as experts on the subject make the point that these instruments, due to their deterrence value, may prevent a major escalation in nonnuclear warfare.
We have them, but we won't use them, assert some nuclear powers in trying to calm public fears.
