China, India, Pakistan some of the reasons for conflict

[F2d5thCav]

I would think that between India and China it would be a conflict of elite, special troops more than anything else.

The terrain is too difficult to logistically support large scale conventional forces (I think).

Nuke use would be totally crazy, a complete roll of the dice.

The Pakistanis might kid themselves that, this time*, they can take Kashmir.  I think the Indians would give ground on the border with China before they'd retreat out of Kashmir.

Cheers

* - military forces in Muslim countries have in the past had issues involving the confusing of actual capability versus fantasized capability.  It is one of the reasons that Israelis have normally bested them in conventional conflict.
