All states have strategic plans for rival states, but no war is likely in South Asia ever again. Pakistan is always in political turmoil, but its recent relations with India have been rather steady. Who wants war? It serves no purpose.
Obama is awesome, but even he can make errors. He refered (probably) to the aquisition of more F-16's from the US by Pakistan, and ofcourse these arent for anyone but India, but Pakistan can only ever take a defensive stance. India is 11* its population, 4 times its land size, 5-6 times its economy...
Pak has to buy carefully to ensure credible deterence. Really, Pakistan borders India and China, it knows it cannot be top dog in the region...and it has no desire to be so. The hope is that by 2030, it can become a stable, firmly middle income nation with good relations with all.
