Mohan,
Whoops, India's "warm" tests may have the ripple effect of squashing SMOD--they have factories in India. Not sure what sanctions would do that them. So much for buying more.

Not that that is the worst consequence of these matters. The world's temperature keeps rising, in more and more ways:-(

Mohan:
As India watcher, I want to make the following comments.
1:India's surprise underground nuclear tests:
surprise!!
This observation is laughable. The US spy satellites have the capability to read the license plate number on the earth. There is no way the great earth moving equipments, human activity & other materials on the ground in preparation for the test were missed by the satellites.
2: US officials were stunned.
They tuned in and later tuned out, because they could not persuade the Indians to stop the test. India and US have a variant understanding of the defence needs of India and CTBT and don't see eye to eye on the issues.
3: US Officials did not have advance warning: Incredulous.
This is only a hypothesis and an analysis of the news as presented here.
