I know that. I also know that 5000 fission bombs are more than 50.
And that leaves only two options left: either tell them what will happen to their country and the socalled holy sites of Islam in all the world if they ever dare to use one of these devices against a Western city or Western military. And you better mean what you say.
Or do not do that and thus leave Afghanistan 8 years ago. It is
pointless to fight in Afghanistan if you rule out to kill the enemy and strike him where it hurts him most. That is the same insaity like in Vietnam, SteamWake pointed to it, and not attacking Chinese advisors and Chinese supplies stockpiled around Hanoi and not to disrupt their Chinese supply lines in order to not threaten those precious, those fabulous, those great and fantastic and trustful Paris peace talks.
The US should have focussed on forming as close as possible ties with India. Isarael needs to reshift its focus away from the Islam-drunken, antisemitic West, and to India. India is a natural bastion against China. India can become the dominant maritime power in the Indian ocean.
Pakistan should never have been allowed to become a nuclear power. Even destroying it cojmpletely would have done better service to the world, than to accept it. Pakistan was born in violence, lived in violence, it breeds and exports violence, and nothing else but violence will ever come from it.
As far as I know the US is still paying Pakistan "military aid", or not?! Why not bowing in front of a terrorist, line one's head up with his weapon's aim, and give him a nod.
If the supply of troops in Afghanistan cannot be guaranteed or arranged via supply lines leadingh through uncritical terrains/nations, then fighting a war there with ground troops obviously is not the best way to fight at all. One then should switch to other strategies that do not depend on ground troops being maintained in afghnaistan. That might neither liberate Afghanistan (if that ever was an option anyway), nor will it win ground, and acchieve "victory". But it can kill enemies. Especially if targetting them in Pakistan. And if the killing goes up the ladder of the establishement and reaches those in command, they might finally understand that their life is more precious to them than playing games of fame and power.
