Ok guys , i was wondering that , our Nuclear program is India specific , our missiles cant reach any other possible hostile from the west just in case ... but this Nuclear Pakistan seems a iminant threat to world peace .. and just because of that we were put into this WOT , ( at least some peoples believe in it ) ....
so why not we surrender our Nuclear weapons to UN ? ? US from 2001 try to reach our Nukes , or at least trying to locate them , and its a open secret to all ... we have no access to modern technology , no news military hardware , nothing .... we cant test ICBMs etc ,just because we will face a huge retaliation from the west and possible sanctions ....
our one and only possible enemy is India , at least this what we are told . Americans are friendly to us along with NATO ... than why not just give our Nukes to UN , on conditions which we can put in front of west like , economic reforms and corridor, increase in trade , more access to conventional weapons , for example turkey , Japan and Germany ... except turkey germany and Japan is under US Nuclear Umbrella and they have one of the most advance conventional military's in the world .... why cant we do the same ? we all know US presence in Pak .. whatever high tech and sophisticated weapons USA give us were before we got out nuke tests , why cant we compromise our nukes for a high tech powerful conventional army ?
there might be some possible cases which peoples might be thinking here ...
like .. :
1. what if india attack us ?
2. what if US attack us ?
3. we are the only Islamic nation who posses nukes ..is it a honor or burden ?
1. War with india is something we can experience anytime , and that is reality ...but will india use Nukes on us ? we all know that border skirmishes are happening since kargil and even before , but do we really think that any future conflict will trigger a nuclear war ? and what if we get US nuclear Umbrella like Japan and Germany ? made a pact with them to protect us in future conflicts , only in case of Nukes get involved in war ...
in return we can have more weapons and technology from the west .. i talk about Economic corridor and more trade that will help us build our economy strong .. we can take japan Germany and turkey as example , they have strong conventional army but the only weapon they dont have is Nukes, but did this make their countries valuable to their enemies ? and have US nukes on our soil will make sure that Russians or Indian will not dare to use Nukes ....and by having more conventional weapons we can fight better of with indians ....
2.we all know that many of people in Pakistan believe USA as their enemy and think that sooner or later they will attack us , even if they do , what we can do to prevent them attacking us ??
Answer is NOTHING ...
3 . So many peoples proudly say that we are the only Islamic nation that holds the nuclear weapons , but what benefit we ever give to any of our brotherly Islamic nation ?? none ...this Islamic Ummah and Islamic bomb make things worse for us than make them safe ... our country is more insecure than today ... wont we better before 1999 ?? no Taliban factor , no TTP , no foreign fighters , no band organizations , no suicide bombings etc.. ... world knows that we can not transfer the technology to any of Islamic country nor put our nukes into any other's soil ... than what might be reason to hold this title of " First Islamic country to get Nukes " ????when there is no benefit to it ?
I know lots of peoples here think that Nukes are the guaranty for our safety from India .. but this is also a reality that a full scale Nuclear war between Pakistan and India is impossible , and we can not fight with US , Nato or Israel with our current inventory ..because our missiles simply cant reach there ...
so here the deal what if we offer our nukes to UN and in return we ask for certain thing , what you guys think will be a better deal ?! and what if this all mess of WOT suddenly vanish after surrendering our nukes ? than we can be the tiger of Asia ....
P.s : i want a serious discussion on topic , so mods please try to make this thread clean from trolls , anyone can reply but only if you have something positive related to topic ..]
I really don't see how this would be possible and will offer my analysis of the major political hurdles from both the US and Pakistani sides. First, the US:
1. The US reserves its nuclear protection for its closest allies, I'm sorry but Pakistan is an on-again, off-again friend to the US. In order to be under the US nuclear umbrella a major upgrading in relations would be needed.
2. Becoming closer to Pakistan, and especially providing them with nuclear protection, is a great way to jeopardize a blossoming relationship with India. The US will not put its relationship with India at risk for the sake of protecting Pakistan. We have trade and defense ties with both India and Pakistan and we will not put our ties with either at risk for the sake of taking sides.
3. The US would not only put it's relationship at risk, but it would likely turn India hostile and provoke the Indians into pointing some of their nuclear weapons at US cities instead of those of China and Pakistan. We already have enough problems, we don't need to add India.
4. The US political and military brass just don't trust Pakistan enough.
Now for the Pakistani side.
1. Do they even trust the US to provide them with nuclear protection following the guarantees provided to Ukraine? The US didn't offer to protect Ukraine when it was threatened, there was never a defense pact that mandated our act, but we did fail in our obligation to protect Ukraine's sovereignty - part of our guarantee package afforded to them for giving up their nuclear weapons.
2. Is Pakistan willing to make the compromises needed to become closer to the US? You want to be part of the US team, be prepared to get tougher on militants, participate in future incidents, and dump or downgrade your relationship with China. I don't see either side making these kinds of political maneuvers.
3. Why would Pakistan ties its own hands? They have control over when and where to use their own nuclear weapons, they wouldn't have that control over those of the US.
4. Pakistan is working its way into regional defense cooperation agreements and frameworks such as the SCO. While not a defense treaty, these will help to reduce tensions with India by providing a platform for them to talk in the presence of mediators.
5. If Pakistan is the aggressor, will the US protect it?
This just isn't a realistic possibility from any angle you look at, and especially a political angle.
@Horus @Donatello - what do you guys think of the political concerns each nation would have to address.
