We can't stop assisting Pakistan (as the USA) because they're nuclear.

Doesn't matter how, the USA spends hundreds of millions to keep it secure.

I recall playing war games with Pakistan and India that were declassified by the CIA dealing with the 70s India VS Pakistan.

It would be a nightmare if some group like the Taliban got a hold of Pakistan's nukes.

India ain't paying for that shit. So we, the USA, do. It's why the ISI is effective.

A nuke sent into India would trigger a nuclear exchange, and China would freak the fuck out.

And that’s why the soviets supported India during those times, because the ISI and all of Pakistan and western powers had shared interests in Afghanistan.

War brings us close to people we may not normally be close to
