Nuclear Tensions: The India-Pakistan Standoff

Description

India and Pakistan are edging closer to the brink- and Sinead and Alex are digging into what happens when two nuclear powers share a border, a grudge, and a broken supply chain.

They unpack the strategic calculus on both sides, from asymmetric doctrine to first-strike ambiguity, and reveal just how fragile the machinery of modern war really is.

Spoiler: it runs on French jet parts, Chinese missile tubes, and one factory in Tennessee.

They also explore what a South Asian conflict would mean for the rest of us — from global ammunition shortages to choked semiconductor routes and a worldwide defense scramble.

Because in 2025, wars aren’t just fought; they’re supplied.
