India's Agni-6, Deterrence Dynamics, and Shifting Global Nuclear Posture

This summary analyzes the claim that Tulsi cannot see India's Agni-6 ICBMs with a reported range of 8,000–12,000 km and explores who India could target within that reach, noting the author's remark that Pakistan and China are not the intended targets. It outlines Pakistan's missile range and force posture as deterrence-focused, emphasizing credible minimum deterrence, minimal resource use, denial of India’s strategic depth, and survivability of its forces. The piece also highlights India's evolving capabilities—reportedly including ICBM tests and a growing fleet of nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines, alongside the world’s largest unsafeguarded nuclear program among developing nations—and argues that these trends point to a broader global nuclear posture that could eventually threaten the US mainland, beyond simply deterring China or Pakistan. It cautions that the United States should not ignore these developments as South Asia’s strategic dynamics shift.
