Playing Nuclear Favorites: US Congress Favors India

you were wrong, not everyone believes that they have to use nuclear weapon for Jesus.

As a congressman, he makes a fair argument. However, the real problem is with the NPT itself. NPT is not a gold standard because, for decades, the NPT has been constantly violated by the NPT signatories themselves. The sanctity of the NPT was already jeopardized when the NPT signatories neither reduced existing stockpiles of nukes nor stopped nuke proliferation to rogue states.
I will not be surprised if India signs the NPT/CTBT in next 2-3 years.

Rules? Who sets the rules? China is one of the worst proliferators in the world.

Its very easy 4 u to pontificate, u dont have china and pakis as neighbors!

hasn't india become a member of the nuclear club. google india jins nuclear club.

Yeah I think India should have continued the fight for a free socialist republic instead of moving on the path of capitalism. In fact India should have been the ideal socialist model for all the world to see....now they are giving way to the western materialism. I honestly don't want India to go the way of China in becoming another harbor for american cultural colonialism.

I don't get your point here. So having lots of millionaires and billionaires makes India great? Despite the grinding poverty that hundreds of millions live in, something India hasn't been able to change until pretty recently. And economic growth ain't everything, not at all. China has higher economic growth than India and yet it's an oppressive system.I'm not saying India is as bad, it after all is one of the freest countries of Asia. I just hope India won't become another nation of Mcdonalds;).

by your own theory, china should thefore have somewhere near the most billionaires if not the most, however as we know, china is a communist state, and that is not much of a possibibility. however what i was tring to highlight to silverbackman is indias growth for a young nation (which he put quite demeeningly) absolutist governments tend to be dictatorships like pakistan or abolute rules like china, ruling monarchies etc. not to say that democracies cannot be, but the US exhibits this trait mor
