India increases its nuclear arsenal
The weapons program of India, framed in the willingness of the country to gain more and more weight in the international arena , proceeds shipped. The Indian country would have made the fourth positive test of Prithvi II nuclear carrier , a missile with a range of approximately 350 kilometers and the ability to carry a half-ton warhead . But New Delhi has in its arsenal missiles that have a range of 3000 km , the Agni III , of 4000 km , the Agni IV and 5000 km , the Agni V, it is all vectors capable of carrying weapons atomic , while the project is being developed Agni VI , a large-scale missile capable of carrying a load of multiple nuclear warheads , to multiply their destructive power . The willingness of India to join the small number of great powers go , then , in addition to economic development very intense, through an ambitious and expensive weapons program , while in the country continue to be present major social imbalances , with the phenomenon of endemic poverty by no means defeated. In its analysis of the international scenario , India has stepped up its weapons program , increasing their nuclear arsenals , even to deal with the constant threat Pakistan and the latest Chinese threat . That Pakistan is now a historic rivalry , which is now developing on a balance of terror , as both states are nuclear powers. The balance between the two countries , still very fragile , could suffer a serious blow because of its recent tests Indians, involving a rocket capable of covering a distance that seems specially designed to threaten the country of Pakistan . If Islamabad would respond to the provocation , not so much in a practical sense , as in the political sphere , there will be an even closer link between the capital Beijing and Pakistan , already very close because united by the common aversion towards India . China seems just another target estimate of the policy of arming India. Beijing, now the capital of the superpower rival of the United States has embarked on a policy of armament with a huge budget , this has resulted in the states that can potentially be enemies of China , including its India , a reaction that has seen a arms race increasingly tight . In fact, not only is New Delhi to walk the path of rearmament , but is in good company with Japan and South Korea SI can safely argue that the situation of the world is far more dangerous weapons at this time, compared to the Cold War where there were only two main characters, who focused on their nuclear weapons arsenals . Currently , however, we are witnessing a proliferation and multiplication of atom bombs , which are in the hands of a plurality of subjects , which determines the greater danger . The distance from Beijing with India is about 3000 km , and it is from this distance that leave the potential of the Indian carriers over long distances. The opposition on international trade and competition increasing industrial thrust between the two countries has developed a need both to protect their own interests through the creation of ever more sophisticated missiles , who can be a real threat to the opponent. But the rise of these possibilities of offense , it is trite to say , increases the likelihood that there is an unfortunate incident , also because of the possession of these weapons by international actors completely unpredictable as North Korea . This is yet another pernicious effect of globalization, which did not distribute wealth to the people involved in the process of economic growth, if not in small part , but it has contributed to the proliferation of nuclear weapons , developed precisely with the gains of economic growth to double-digit . The role of the U.S., which often fell in the part of police of the world, is reduced by the development and spread of nuclear weapons : on the one hand, Washington criticizes these policies of the opponents, allies can not favor it , as it is functional to the same policy of the United States , which can not , even potentially face alone such a spread of nuclear weapons in the enemy camp . What is announced is a restatement of the balance of terror, but not between two points , but as a set of vector forces , each with its direction , more and more difficult to control and balance .
