So, North Korea and Iran aren't allowed, but India is. A nice policy with plenty of continuity by the West here, then.
India has successfully carried out its first test of a nuclear-capable ballistic missile with a range of 4,000km.
The Agni-III missile was launched from Wheeler Island, 180km northeast of Bhubaneshwar in the eastern state of Orissa, defence officials said on condition of anonymity.
In May, Pranab Mukherjee, the Indian defence minister, said that the Agni-III, India's longest-range ballistic missile, was ready but that the country was observing "self-imposed restraint" before testing.
Opposition parties criticised the announcement, saying testing was delayed because of pressure from the United States. New Delhi and Washington reached a deal in March that will lift sanctions on India's access to civilian nuclear technology.

I jest!
Furthermore, I don't think India has said it destory a country unlike Iran.
Yeah they have already, they are just doing some tests...
Pakistan and India dont exactly have a great history of friendship though do they...
They haven't threatened each other with nukes or wipe each other off the map though have they?
it ain't rocket science.......
India is still hostile to Pakistan. Hence it could potentially use weapons. Im not saying they will but they could if they wanted to.
I dont think any nation should have any nuclear weapons personally.
Nor me.
this isn't about rockets that you fire at your next door nieghbour but ...someone thousand of miles away.
this isn't about nukes as such but long range capability.
who do you think they might have in mind thousands of miles away?
Then maybe everyone said nothing of india testing so missiles hoping a conflict occur between india and pakistan... An other war could be good for them and that one not started by them so it's all good...
There is war, so we have to go there... in peace...
Are you daft? Are you not AWARE of the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan?
Sigh. I suppose I shouldn't be supprised as it is you.
Anyway, as SG said - no-one can be trusted with Nukes. But sadly they are now a fact of modern diplomacy. Don't fuck with us, we got the bomb. Westwood 101 etc.
I say someone should invent a singularity generator and generate quantum singularities in all the worlds nuclear missile silos before ceasing thier existence.
All the nukes in the world... gone. Level playing field. No more threatening by anyone.
Lets do it!
What's climate change got to do with nuclear weapons?
Nuclear Winter mate? Any idea what a nuke would do to the climate?
TBH - The US will NEVER give up its nuke with the current style of rule. Unless some BIG change happens in US politics soon.
And if the big bully boy America won't, why should the rest of the playground?
and
