Somehow we have the same feelings about Pakistan as we do Iran for most things in geopolitics, but we let Pakistan have a nuclear program. You know, the nation literally harboring Bin Laden.


It's almost as if geopolitical environments evolve over time.

I don't think anyone today would feel any differently about preventing Pakistan from attaining nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately it's very difficult to take nukes away from a country.


It was a whole lot easier to take nukes away from a country until America fed Ukraine to the wolves. Great job...


Ok? I agree with you. It doesn't change anything I said.


Pakistan / US relations are much, much less strained than Iran / US relations. I'd say Pakistan is more of an ally. Iran is clearly an adversary, its current government declaring the US an enemy and literally Satan.
