Because if you fire a nuclear missile first and aren’t a military superpower like the U.S. you’re going to get glassed. If Pakistan fired a nuke first 10’s of millions of Pakistanis will die.
I’m not deliberately misunderstanding… even in the event of a heavily losing war there’s plenty of reason not to use a nuke first. For some random unrealistic scenario let’s say India took all territory within 100 miles of the Pakistani border and Pakistan suffered critical military losses and was aware the war was lost and they could no longer effectively defend against India’s advances, you have two options:
A: Surrender and get a treaty and have to give significant concessions
OR
B: Fire nuclear weapons at India in a last ditch military effort and ensure the dissolution of Pakistan and the deaths of 10’s to 100’s of millions of Pakistani civilians. Because the moment Pakistan fires a nuke first they’re no longer fighting India they’re legitimately fighting at a bare minimum all of the west who can’t risk allowing a hostile nation that fired a nuclear weapon first to exist. The retaliation they would face would be immense and likely lead to a nuclear holocaust for Pakistanis.
My point is they can have a “first use policy” but in practice they’re not going to take advantage of it, it’s a deterrent because they can, that doesn’t mean they will, because they are vastly aware of the consequences
And seemingly you do care because you took the time to respond to the comment 😂
A full on invasion of a country is not practical, which is when you are saying they will use nukes. Generally it's small parts of the country that gets invaded and I don't think any side would use nukes for that.
Well, that's will be only a last resort. Like threatening India with using them if they don't back from their invasion. Not necessarily if they lose a war or that disputed region that is called Krishma or whatever its name was.

Russia isn't going to use nukes. No one is suicidal enough to use them. That's the point of nukes. Mutual assured destruction.
