But India has not been ruled by a bunch of nationalist nutcases since
1974. I suppose they are planning on escalating skirmishes in Kashmir
into a war. Next the fundamentalist Muslim nutcases back Pakistan and
attack israel for the hell of it. Caught between nuclear powered
Jewish nutcases and nuclear powered Hindu nutcases, the Muslim
nutcases stick somes nukes they found in Kazakhstan on the end of of
some Scuds. The U.S. intervenes by shooting ineffective Patriot
missiles around the place. World War III ensues. Game over.
Nostradamus was right after all.

Well maybe not, but the possible scenarios are scary.
