In each case, miscalculation or mistrust could have tipped the region into disaster. Unlike Cold War-era superpowers, India and Pakistan have less-developed nuclear command systems, limited crisis communication, and highly volatile domestic politics - all of which heighten the risk of a nuclear incident born not of intent, but of confusion or panic.",
