In reply to the discussion: India Says It Successfully Tests Nuclear-Capable Missile [View all]Javaman
(62,517 posts)36. While I understand your point, what you are talking about is responsibility, not trust.
to different things.
You could postulate that trust is nothing more than a person living responsibly in a group of people.
if that group deems that person to live responsibly, then they will trust them.
However, if that person gets into car wrecks often or gets speeding tickets, will that same person exhibit responsibility with watching my kid? I wouldn't take that chance, because I can't be sure that the person is a responsible person if they are unable to take personal responsibility for their actions. So therefore, I don't trust them.
See how it works?

India does not have a history of selling nuclear and rocket technology to anyone with a checkbook.

Well naturally; but they never signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, did they?
