The Russians refer to their experiences and say it will not make any difference, since it cannot be won militarily. I say you cannot win it without neutralising the Pakistani variable in the formula. And if somebody thinks it can be won militarily alone, he most likely will be proven wrong.

Tough situation with Pakistan almost as unstable and they already have the bomb.
