I am not sure if anyone noticed the most interesting part...
Bruce Reidel: After discovering the double game of Pakistan in 2009, that resulted in direct loss of American and NATO troops, we were very close to invade Pakistan. We had already invaded two Muslim countries, we could as well invade a third one. But you cannot attack a country that holds such a large nuclear arsenal.
The point here to ponder upon is not that "the nukes saved Pakistan". The point to ponder is, why would Bruce Reidel let these words out in public. Unless they have another game plan against Pakistan, they would never say such a thing. I suppose it would do best for Pakistanis to look into other directions and dimensions where the attack may come from.
To me, the explosive nukes appear to trigger an implosion of Pakistan.
