Threshold.

This is coolbert:

DEFCON-3.

Will they or won't they? Use atomic weapons!

Thanks to the tip from Paulie and the article by Michael Kugelman

"Opinion: India, Pakistan, and the remote but real threat of nuclear war"

"India and Pakistan are currently embroiled in their most serious crisis in several decades. While a nuclear exchange between the two sides is highly unlikely, the possibility nevertheless remains"

"For years, it’s been a bedrock principle of international security: Possessing nuclear weapons deters nations from using them in warfare. Indeed, since 1945, no country has used one. However, there’s an important caveat to this: Nuclear weapons may forestall nuclear exchanges, but they don’t deter nuclear states from using military force against each other."

PAKISTAN IN CONTRAST TO INDIA SAID TO HAVE A LOW NUCLEAR THRESHOLD!!

MEANING THE PAKISTANI WILL RESORT TO THE USE OF ATOMIC WEAPONS QUICKER AND FOR LESS REASON!!

See from a variety of Internet web sites a discussion of the LOW Pakistani nuclear threshold as perceived:
