Oh no... not another of those mass destruction threads. Now could you sensibly think:
1) What is the need for developing ICBMs?USA? Israel? both have already got you in their sights and range.
great then we can have them in our sights and range
2) Can your economy sustain the development, testing and deployment of ICBM at present situation when you owe a lot of money already to IMF?
Can your economy sustain the wars you guys are waging, we've managed in the past we'll manage even now
3) Do you think that European and Western nations would be ready to trade with you in weapons and even advanced civilian technology, that could be modified for military use? An ICBM test would result in a blanket embargo on Pakistan, costing your economy dearly.
And pray tell what favors have the europeans and americans showering upon us in the past decade or so, unless you consider sanctions a favor ? and before you said you might wanna check the bank balances of the dictators you've helped put in
4) What pretext would you use to justify your test? India? The whole world knows that your missiles already cover the entire Indian territory. There would be nothing to hide behind, but rather openly display your hatred for West and become another Khomeinist-style Iran.
We have interest in the world as a whole, india is a part of the bigger picture not the whole picture
5) With half the world already worried about your nuclear weapons' safety, a test of this nature would be the final nail in your coffin of dead trade, commerce and economic support from world around. Why do you think your neighbour is not pursuing ICBM technology despite having one of the most most advanced space programmes around the world? Think about it.
half the world was in support of waging a war on iraq, half the world sees israelis as a peaceful nation...that half of the world is different than this half of the world and we've learned really not to give two sh**ts about that half
6) Europe if not the United States would be the most displeased with either of you acquiring an ICBM since we already face threat of radical Islamist fundamentalism in some European countries. The last thing would be your government unable to quell a fundamentalist invasion and taking over your missile arsenal even if not nuclear arsenal.
I am sure if they could do such a thing without serious repercussions they would have done so
7) DO you want to end up like North Korea?
We want to end up as a free nation that enjoys peace with its neighbors, we want to see a world that is not exploited by bunch of thugs, we want peace but not at the price of supression
