    I simply disagree. Canada has no nukes of our own so in order to “glass” India, one of the other nuclear powers would have to take that step which then opens them up for retaliation. I just don’t know if I trust the commitment of other NATO countries to commit that hard.

    Think about it, if India nuked Canada because we accused them of assassination, they will definitely attempt to nuke anyone else that attempts to punish them for that. Now if you’re a NATO country other than Canada, are you willing to get yourself nuked as well? I just don’t know if anyone else would put themselves in that position.

    The reality of the situation is that India would never do something so crazy so it’s pointless to speculate about what the response would be.

      The US would retaliate before the nuke even landed in Canada. The Monroe doctrine is still in effect.
