India and Pakistan at times have been frightening because they share a border and a genetically encoded hatred of one another.
In a regional war it won't go nuclear.

Besides the mentioned 1999 India-pakistan war...can you recall any regional conflict where two nuclear states have had direct military combat together? Not including the proxy wars of say Korea or Vietnam. MAD has served its purpose fairly well for the last 69 plus year's.
