Pakistan has increased its nuclear arsenal by up to 50% in the last two years because it is the only way - in the Army's view - to limit India. This just strikes me as incredibly backwards thinking. The threat of something that will never be used because the US and the international community at large would immediately stop every cent of aid? hmm.

I agree with you. I don't think the US and the International Community want another country to increase its nuclear arsenal, especially if they are providing so much aid to such country.
ReplyDeleteThe U.S. is more concerned with Pakistan's nuclear arsenal falling into the hands of islamic extremist than them increasing stokpile. Yes that creates more of a problem if there are more weapons to guard but if even one of those weapons get into the wrong hands, that one weapon becomes priority one. There are reports that the U.S. is training Special Forces troops to take over pakistans nuclear arsenal or recover their weapons should they come under attack and fall into the wrong hands.
