No second strike capability? Do you really think either of these countries have no second strike capability? I think you underestimate both sides armies and their command and control.

Neither side have centralized command and control, no centralized launch control, both Indian and Pakistani nukes are practically unsafe and neither country has a nuclear triad nor hardened launch capabilities that can survive a first strike, the only 2nd strike any of these countries would get is due to the sheer incompetence of their opponent. What’s worse is that both sides also lack proper early warning systems,…

Indian nukes are unsafe lol. US satellites couldn't even detect when India conducted nuclear bomb test in Pokhran.

I've been following this story and it makes me very nervous that these skirmishes are getting more serious. I'm in the US so I don't have a good sense of how the citizens of the two countries are reacting to the conflict. Does anybody in India or Pakistan want to share the situation on the ground? How loudly are the the war drums banging? How are the media framing these events?

War drums are banging too loud in India. Their media/social media/celebrities/politicians every one is creating war hysteria. In Pakistan, everyone is asking for peace and only peace. Don't go for my words, check twitter/facebook/youtube yourself and find out.

She replied to an Indian celebrity using his words when Pakistan retaliated.
