A Dangerous Game
America is trying to balance new US arms sales to arch-rivals India and Pakistan next year. The US is poised to promote major arms sales to India, as a buffer towards China's growing regional military clout and influence. While laudable, analysts fear these sales could reignite an arms race between India and Pakistan, which have fought three wars in the last 60 years, with the latest quite tense since both nations are nuclear armed. If their rivalry grows hotter, the US may be not only delivering weapons to a region on the brink of war, but would also be increasing the lethality.
