The Master’s statement “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done... read more

Kargil Catastrophe: India and Pakistan Almost Kicked Off a Nuclear War*Sebastien Roblin* *Nuclear War, * The Kargil War marked a frightening new chapter in the international system as for the first time states with nuclear weapons faced off on a (fortunately limited) battlefield. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Washington had condemned and sanctioned both India and Pakistan’s recent nuclear tests, and its policy was then in a state of flux.
