I must disagree. It is pretty much accepted in military circles That "one flies, they all fly". If, say Israel hits Iran, Pakistan, fearing the loss of the few nukes they have, will lob them at India and vice versa. With all the nukes flying around, China will probably decide that it's a good time to take care of the "Taiwan problem". etc, etc, etc until all the nuclear powers are involved.
