Why has the tension between India and Pakistan become global concern?
The tension between India and Pakistan has become a global concern for several reasons. For one, both nations have nuclear weapons. They have also fought two wars over the disputed region of Kashmir.

This can surely destabilize the region and lead to mass deaths on both sides of the border.

How does it make you feel to know that most of the nuclear weapons in the Soviet and US arsenals remain ready for use even in the post-Cold War era?
Actually this is false most of the Cold War era nuclear weapons have been destroyed.At the peak of the Cold War the U.S. had about 10,000 strategic and 20,000 tactical nuclear weapons and the USSR had about 10,000 strategic and 30,000 tactical nuclear weapons.Following the signing of START both sides agreed to destroy all tactical nuclear weapons and reduce strategic nuclear weapons slowly over a period of time.At this time both the U.S. and Russia have about 3,500 strategic nuclear weapons each and no tactical nuclear weapons (although some people say that Russia secretly maintains about 1,000 tactical nuclear weapons).So, from a peak of about 70,000 nuclear weapons during the Cold War to about 7,000 nuclear weapons now, only about 10% of the weapons then available still remain ready for use.

How did concern over nuclear weapons influence Kennedy's foreign policy?
You can bring up the idea of the cold war and the fear of the spread of communist governments.

This fear led to the Cuban Missile Crisis when the Soviet Union supplied Cuba with weaponry that could reach the United States.
