Envy for what? What does Pakistan have, in terms of nuclear technology, that the US does not have?
Obsessed? Hardly. Concerned? Of course, so does the rest of the world, after all, there is fighting inside YOUR country.
Indiscriminate? Do you even know what the word meant? As far as the rest of Asia is concerned, for what Imperial Japan did, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rightly deserved punishment.
For the sake of speculation, the question is if Pakistan continue to lose ground against the Taliban who is going to be recipient of Pakistan's nuclear weapons? Afghanistan? The US?
Utter nonsense. Deterrence works only if there is parity of forces between contestants. Pakistan does not have nuclear parity with US. If we wanted to, we can destroy Pakistan's nuclear capability overnight.
What an odd argument? How can ANY plan be anything other than 'artificial'?
What make you believe we need the Russian's help to destroy Pakistan's nuclear capability?
The Chinese helped Pakistan out of their own geopolitical concerns for India. Notice there are no Chinese troops helping Pakistan against the Taliban. If Pakistan cannot prevail against the Taliban, the Chinese will be very cooperative with US in denying Pakistan's nuclear weapons from the Taliban.
It's not a matter of having superior or inferior tech Yank. It's not as simplistic as you want us to believe Yank. You envy Pakistan for being the sole Islamic nuclear power that has the ability to pass on this tech whenever it suits their needs. Yes, that worries you to death. You also envy Pakistan because despite so-called inferior tech the weapons can be used in any given scenario and unimaginable damage inflicted. You envy Pakistan because due to these nuclear weapons you're not able to apply Abu Ghraib style brute force such as in Iraq and Afghanistan. You wouldn't even spare Pakistan for a moment, but you're simply bound. You are having to negotiate instead of forcefully and unilaterally invade, occupy and destroy the whole country. That's the most convenient route that you would ideally like to undertake, but are not able due to the nuke factor. You envy Pakistan because they represent a thorn in your evil designs to divide and conquer this region. Pakistan is a strategically located country which grants access to CAS together with Afghanistan. Without having full leverage over Pakistan you're only halfway there.
The nukes are the main factor which present a thorn in your nefarious plans.
Yes, you're overly obsessed. Your being on this forum and excessively participating in such topics is enough indication. Frankly, we don't care about your concerns. Take your concern somewhere else. Who is the rest of the world? The coalition of the willing consisting of Samoa Islands, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Solomon Islands etc.? LOL Honestly, we don't care about what the world thinks. This is the same world that left us high and dry after the Cold War. We helped the world win the Cold War. What did we get in return other than being left high and dry? We are the victims! The same world that embargoed Pakistan when it should have rebuild Afghanistan and the tribal regions. The world can choke on its hypocrisy as far as I'm concerned. The fighting that's happening on our side is due to your interference in neighbouring Afghanistan. You are creating rifts in this region. You are destabilizing the whole region.
You created the menace of Taliban/AQ/Mujahideen etc. and left Pakistan and consequently the world to deal with the aftermath. Never forget that you're mainly responsible for this mess before handing out lectures. Where do you even gather the courage to act like you're the innocent mother Teresa? We are already dealing with fighting in
OUR country which btw is being fuelled by you on the other side of the border. You just worry about taking care of Afghanistan which is 50% in control of the Taliban.
LOL Rightly deserved punishment? Killing hundreds and thousands of innocent people in a blink of an eye is what you conveniently label as deserved punishment? What are you now? The lawyer and the judge? Well, in that case we deserve the right to punish anyone who screws with us. We will annihilate them and their sponsors. An American life isn't worth any more than the life of an African, South American or Asian.
Another doodle Yank that thinks that the Taliban will overthrow a whole establishment and rule 170 million people with access to the nuke button. The answer can be found in your own rhetoric. Just don't believe in
speculations.
No, it's not utter nonsense Yank. It's the hardcore truth and a bitter pill to swallow. The US can never confiscate
all of the nuclear weapons. Let me explain. Who says that Pakistan will want to strike in the US? We don't need any parity with the US. In fact, we will never reach any parity and why would we want to do that in the first place? Are you really that naive? Pakistan has much better options at its disposal. Why should we send ICBMs across the oceans when targets are much much closer in reach. Someone has to bare the brunt, right? Perhaps someone nearest dearest? Don't take it personal.
Yank, have you ever heard of metaphorical speech? I don't think so. Artificial in the sense that it's surreal and based on sheer speculation. We simply don't know what the real outcome will be in case when the US tries to forcefully snatch the nukes. My argument holds weight because I have tried to explain that we have the numerical advantage. So what if you even manage to find one, two or a handful of nukes? That's not a big deal. You will still have to find dozens of other stockpiles which are spread all over the place. By that time it will be kaboom! Something you cannot afford Yank. Not even in your worst nightmare.
Don't you read? It was your friend S-2 that implied that the US could involve the Russians etc. LOL I just reminded him that the US doesn't have any credible or mutual relation with that country.
Exactly! That's what allies do. They help each other out because they share mutual interests. That's not a surprise or anything shockingly out of the extraordinary. Aren't your relations with other countries around the world based on mutual interests? Why should the Pakistan China relation form an exception? We are proud that we cherish such a relation with a great and trustworthy nation like China. Also, something that bothers and agitates you very much quite clearly. The Chinese realize that the Americans are responsible for creating the Taliban. They are also aware that the Americans are in their backyard and up to some mischief which is aimed against diminishing China's regional ambitions. China isn't naive to trust the US. The Chinese will never leave Pakistan in the cold. You have no clue about China Pakistan relationship I'm afraid. Heck, the Chinese are involved in the production of new nuclear reactors that will be build in Pakistan. Our ally is helping us in this need of hour despite pressures applied by your country. We are expanding our nuke program with the help of our ally and you want us to believe that the same friend will turn their back on us? It's the biggest lie and distortion that Pakistani nukes can ever be taken over by the Taliban. Do you know how ridiculous you sound? You're insane and wishful to believe that.
