Well, I think India's arsenal is a little bit bigger, but I think Pakistan has enough that they are survivable from a first attack and capable of doing catastrophic damage to India. And so after you hit a certain threshold, it's really not about who's got bigger. It's just, can we wipe each other off the map? And for now, it seems the answer is yes.

The other wrinkle, of course, with Pakistan is that not only do you have this sort of messianic religious leadership, but you also have, you know, what I call a Disneyland of terrorist groups operating in that country. You know, many of them with the support of the Pakistani state, but also many now that don't have the support of the Pakistani state and are targeting Pakistan.

Pakistan is both the biggest supporter of terrorism worldwide, if not number one, certainly two or three up there with Iran, but it's also one of the biggest victims of terrorism, and it's just partly because they've got so many terrorist groups in this playground, as some of them are actually targeting the Pakistani state, and probably wouldn't mind getting their hands on some of these nukes.

Yeah, probably China at this point, with the US being a close second. Not because we give Pakistan much aid anymore. In fact, we cut almost all of it off during the Trump administration. Well, the first Trump administration.

But we are still able to exert a lot of leverage over any country, just with the power of our market and our influence in international institutions, our ability to sanction Pakistan. So we do still have some leverage over that country. They certainly don't want to make the US an open antagonist, but they're also not really taking cues from us on how to respond to this.
