Rumors of War - Kings of the East

India to introduce ICBM to strategic forces - UPI.com
UPI reports: "India is planning to induct its latest intercontinental ballistic missile into strategic forces, according to multiple press reports. Agni-V, the fifth missile in a series, is a long-range projectile that could bring into range targets across China, Defenseworld.net reported Monday. The ballistic missile was tested in June for the sixth time, is nuclear capable and has a striking distance of 3,100 miles, according to India TV News. [...] India is one of a handful of countries that have retained long-range missiles, a list that includes the United States, China, Russia, France and North Korea."

Comment: Your move China.  Whatever happens with North Korean disarmament, the fact remains that the world is set on a course of nuclear proliferation and not much is being done to stop that trend. We currently have a system where bad actors get nukes and those countries that play by the rules don't. We need to turn that upside down.
