India: 160 million eligible for military service. Pakistan: 25 million eligible for military service. China: 250 million eligible for military service. India and Pakistan have been threatening to nuke each other for ages. That's bad for everyone. The most effective way to end that conflict would be to remove the weaker half, Pakistan. Could China do this with conventional warfare? What would China, the USA, India, UN, and the world gain or lose from this?
Remove, as in wipe Pakistan off the map, it becomes part of China, giving China a swifter route to the Suez Canal.
well that would put some strain on India since China and India really don't like each other all that much and I doubt if it would happen because China has traditionally been an ally of Pakistan
Um... You do know thta now and then powerful nations simply create or destroy lesser nations to further their own interests, right? For example: PAKISTAN!
what do you mean, when has pakistan created and destroyed a lesser nation? and what makes a nation lesser? they havnt officially threatened each other. just playing silly beggers by test firing rockets. if this is what you mean -o.k. how have you came to this conclution? i would say the most effective way to stop this would be to divide up kashmir or at least allow it to become independant. either one or the other. to answer your question (however stupid it is...no offence intended): yes china could, just by sheer numbers. China would have people to lose, usa would probally find a way on how to make money out of it or back pakistan to try to defeat the communists, india would gain - losing arch enemy, UN would'nt care but they would probaly try to introduce peace talks to make it look like they are doing something.
Pakistan did not do this. It was done by the League Of Nations/UN, and Pakistan was the result. Pakistan, Israel, East Timor, and other such nations are direct evidence to support the idea that powerful nations create and destroy small nations now and then. Now, since we have proof that this occurs, why should it not occur in this case? Why is the question stupid, since we know it has happened before?
right, i undertand what you are saying now. it wasnt clear before. :bugeye: Although, East timor was in a struggle to become independant from indonesia, un helped them become independant. if i'm correct america set up israel by giving them land that belonged to them. they do more creating than destroying. And to correct you, the league of nations was not the same as the UN. america has no excuse to invade it like they did vietnam - no communists to be seen. Pakistan is nuclear, this creates too much of a threat to medle with their buisness. it is stupid because china or any other nation apart from india will not invade pakistan, it simply aint gonna happen. they have no reason to, if there is a war it aint gonna effect their interests.
Actually I was thinking China gains a new port on a new sea, much closer to the Suez Canal and ship trade with Europe.
yeh, china will gain another coast line but just think what they would have to lose, men, materials maybe even territory if they get pushed back into their own territory. like i said before - it wont happen.
I can't imagine China wanting to disrupt any internal stability by attacking Pakistan. The men it would cost as well as the amount of resistance the Pakistanis would put up would not be worth it
China helped Pakistan,get the nukes it has,so I would say they are more likely to nuke India if it came to it!
Big nations don't like to stay next to each other. That's why Pakistan and other small nations exist. They created buffer zones between big countries. China would only remove Pakistan if India was gone.
What the Heck? Ya lets destroy New Zeland and wipe it out from the map.............so Australia can use their port and Island for picnics. LOL.............Retarded post. And oh wait a minute let india wipe out Nepal and Bhutan and Sri lanka...........lol. What is this?? Some sort of freaking joke?..............lolPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! :bugeye: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I am from Pakistan and I like to remind you that China has only one ally in region and that is Pakistan. So go ahead and see if you can come up with any logical reasons about china going to war with pakistan.
there is'nt any logical reasons, i have already said this - i dont think anyone that posted except 'adam' found it logical for china to start a random war for no reason at all. yes, this thread is stupid and pointless.
