Pakistan is collapsing, there is no way to sugar coat this. The problem with Pakistan’s collapse is it nukes. Who controls it? Will Al-Qaeda/Taliban get their hands on it? These are concerns worrying the US.
Pakistan Strife Raises U.S. Doubts on Nuclear Arms
WASHINGTON — As the insurgency of the Taliban and Al Qaeda spreads in Pakistan, senior American officials say they are increasingly concerned about new vulnerabilities for Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, including the potential for militants to snatch a weapon in transport or to insert sympathizers into laboratories or fuel-production facilities.
This is a dangerous situation and needs watching. We need to cooperate with India and China on the possibility of a Taliban takeover of Pakistan. This concerns everyone in the region and the world. The problem is that the Pakistan Army doesn’t have the will to fight the Taliban, so this is dangerous indeed.
