If India is Nuked?
 

If India gets nuked what is going to happen to the companies like Cisco who have businesses there? I was watching on CNBC that Cisco has all their research and development there. Does that mean these companies are going to have set backs? What do you think?

I think its time to Have some Indian food.
I was wondering what to have for lunch today, and you just made my choice.

Thanks.

ROFL!!!!

I wouldnt buy stock in any company that had their R&D in India.

why not?

well personally - i really hope it never comes to this point - ever..
:mad:

Its cheaper for them?
Have you been to one of these company plants or headquarters?
SHit a good chunk of the employes are Indians.

Instead of getting work Visas for these guys to come here, why not set up shop there in India?

Its cheaper.

India's great for business.. soon you might not even have to microwave your food.

A lot of banks like CityBank and big insurance companies have call centres in India - Like you are calling to the 1-800 CityBank number in England and you are connecting to the call centre somewere in India

When countries egage in war (nuclear or conventional) the repercussions are usually unpredictable. Economies and Armys from other countries can be dragged into the vortex.

Mankind has evolved into super powers that will destroy each other in pursuit of world domination..

wow, that was deep.
Let me right that down

George Fernandes, India's Defense Minister, already stated that he believes India can "survive" a first strike by Pakistan.

lmao - anybody THAT stupid deserves to die.

It's just a pain in the arse that they may well take the rest of us with them...

Yeah but its still going to have a major effect on the environment for years to come. People and their kids will be affected by the radiation downfall.

Take you with em?
do you live in India?

Not just environmental, it would destabilize this already volatile part of the world.

It will also badly impact financial markets.

Mankind has evolved into super powers that will destroy each other in pursuit of the right to buy a pizza at 3am, never mind world domination... :winkwink:

I just couldn't imagine waking up one morning and seeing on TV that Pakistan Nuked India. That would just be unbelievable. I think it would start a chain of events for the worse also. Do you think this would be the start of the Holy War everyone talks about?

I have a Holy War up my ass evertime I go to the Fish Grotto Fish house with the boys.

It aint no thing.

Let em at it.

If that happens and thats a big if, the rest of the world isn't just going to watch them destroy each other

I don't know the number of Nukes that either side has, or the size of the nukes. Both of these (as well as type) are important in estimating damage and fallout.

The media is tossing about different numbers of Nukes for both sides, but I have never seen a number tossed about on the size of the Nukes.

None the less the number of nukes being tossed about that Pakistan has is not enough to bring India to its knees. Set them back economically in a major way; yes. Cost them maybe a hundred million lives, in initial blast and fallout; yes. But if I remember correctly India has a population of close to 1 billion people so as a people and a nation they will survive.

The number of nukes being tossed about that India has would be a bigger problem for Pakistan. Pakistan only has a portion of the population of India and they do not have the land mass that India has.

If both sides detonated all of the Nukes that they "may" have, the fallout would effect peoples in other parts of the world. They do not have enough Nukes to cause a "Nuclear Winter".

Having said all of this; Nukes (depending upon size and type) do not have the ominpotent destructive power than some people imagine.

Last time I heard the H bomb was 70x more powerfull then the A bomb.
I can't believe these dumb ass 3rd world countries are actually threating each other with these weapons, and if they are stupid enough to actually use them other countries will get involved

I would have thought George Dubya would have been all for India and Pakistan creating a small "nuclear winter" - it would give him an excuse to carry on ignoring the Kyoto treaty :winkwink:

The A bomb leveled several city blocks faster then you can blink your eye

I doubt it would come down to nukes, Pakistan already said they wouldn't use nukes unless India did.

Maybe we should send a msg to both of them, whoever uses nukes first will be nuked by us, have their country wiped clean and start over. :BangBang:

that would be the beginning of the end, if we did that think of all the other countries that would step in

Fernandes? Is he the Defense Minister of Inda or Mexico or Spain?

If India falls into a nuclear war we are ALL in trouble! The global nuclear fallout and radiation will be a major concern.

Although I am hoping for peace, I am selling posassium iodine or "anit-nuke pills" on my web sites using an affiliate program. These pills will lessen the effect of radiation on your thyroid. I heard about these pills on NPR on Saturday. Hey, if I can help people in need and make some money at the same time... is that so bad??

Here is the posassium iodine link:

Read for yourself...

dude, you just totally blew my mind.

The A bombs we used on Japan were between 10-20 Kiliton bombs (equivilant to 10-20 thousand tons of TNT in initial blast).

Our average size Nuke is between 1-5 Megatons (equivilant to 1-5 million tons of TNT in initial blast). We have much larger bombs and at one point in time the U.S.S.R claimed to have either a 50 or 100 Megaton bomb.

The A bombs used on Japan were like firecrackers when compared to a 1 Megaton bomb.

What size bombs Pakistan and India have; I have never heard discussed by the media.

Pills to stop radiation? Nah, you need to think bigger -

Sell "Immortality Rings" that'll grant you eternal life instead!

:eek7

I like what India said.. That if Pakistan nuked them, there would be no more Pakistan to launch a second attack from.

We use the A bomb to trigger the H bomb, the A bomb is the only device that will create a temp. high enough in degree to trigger the fussion process, the H bomb is a small scale model of our sun.
Basicly the sun is kind of like a giant H bomb thats taking billions of years to explode.
I have no idea what size bombs these countries have

If hype is to be believed, these countries have gotten their bombs from the former USSR which means that they have the prospect of being HUGE bombs. If instead they have built their own bombs (equally possible) they could be any size from relatively small to big 100 Megaton buggers. Hopefully the world will only find out when these two nations decide to peacefully disarm.

Just when you thought the economy would not get any worse. Now theres more fucken tension in the world. If india and pak go at it I am sure other countries that wanted to nuke their enemies would go for it. China will want to take over taiwan. North Korea and South Korea. USA can't go in and try to stop off of this shit cause many countries could try to hit the US.

Last thing I want right now is a war anywhere. I want the fucken economy to recover so I could see signups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew a person from Pakistan who claimed his father was one of the scientists that helped to develop Pakistans' Nukes. If he was truthful then Pakistan made their own Nukes.

I suspect that India did the same.

Nuke pakistan. Its full of muslim terrorists anyways.

Why not nuke the USA? Most of them are hiding there now :winkwink:

If India is nuked not much will change, except appx. 1/12th of the world population lives in India, and if that country gets fucked up then it will undoubtedly affect SouthEast Asia, including all of the chip making countries like Taiwan and South Korea, each of which is downwind from India and will likely suffer radiation poisoning.
