Great response. I think everything you said is essentially the promise that NATO makes, but as I said to another poster, if India is going to nuke Canada because we accused them of assassination, they will definitely nuke anyone that attacks them. Canada has no nukes of our own, so we couldn't directly retaliate. Now if you're the leader of another NATO country, are you going to risk getting nuked for the sake of NATO? I just don't think anyone else would be willing to step up like that when the shit hits the fan. Think about it... are you willing to risk getting your country nuked for NATO? I just don't know.
Good point, but the number of countries sanctioning India would definitely far exceed the number that would retaliate militarily against them. Non-NATO countries would join in on sanctions but would not join the fight, so there would simply be too many sanction targets to retaliate against.
I'm Canadian so I've been considering this from the viewpoint of the one who got attacked. I'm really having trouble believing my friends (other NATO countries) would put their necks out on the line, and I think they would be more cautious in the face of their own nuclear destruction.
