A headline that speaks for itself: Disturbing that the threat of nuclear war has become quite common nowadays ex diplomat Rajiv Dogra. The reason I found an article by an Indian ex diplomat was that I wanted to find out if the Bofors artillery we might give to Ukraine is the same Bofors artillery India uses against Pakistanians they don’t like.

Otherwise if you know world war two era warships you might know Bofors from that. To my understanding, the 40 mm Bofors AA gun was the gun the US navy got as many as they could have, and put on every empty space on their warships. History is a kind of escapism. Tragedies, like war, in the past or far away, can be entertainment. Not tragedies close to your border.
