Exactly Pakistan got the bomb because they couldn’t defeat India . Same thing India is way bigger than Pakistan. So India got the bomb so we got two countries who hate each other and had two border skermishes who have nukes and we assume that cooler heads will always prevail.
Then there’s China and they both had beef with China as well.
Then the Paki dude who gave them the bomb tried to give it to Iran and Iraq.
Without the US security guarantees everyone will tool up and it only takes a Trump like figure to carry out a threat.
shyt could start with tactical Nuke Mines and could quickly go to all countries releasing missiles.
Almost anyone that has a nuclear power plant can do the relatively simple trick of building a nuclear bomb. And those that don't have the engineering infrastructure or access to plutonium or uranium will just buy from other countries that are cash strapped *cough* Pakistan *cough*
Iran already basically has a bomb, they just haven't built it, because that would be an instaWar in the middle east. And we know they would have no problem giving it to anyone in the region.
There's a reason Pakistan worried Obama more than any other political issue.
South Korea and Japan aren't going to take the US lying flat in a Trump administration. They're going to form a more cohesive military alliance with Taiwan, Phillipines and even potentially Australia/New Zealand.
This is a powder keg, that for all of the US's faults, had relative control over. As much as we shyt on Obama for his shortcomings domestically, I truly understand what he was trying to do with foreign policy, and if he had 16 years instead of 8, I really think he could've potentially really brought real peace in the world.
