Really?

I thought that was our security policy.

And the problem with proliferation is it tends to be a one-way street, whereas Afghanistan has been anything but.

No kidding, because the Chinese are providing the nuclear spare parts.

So

The United States isn't the only country to have trouble navigating this cutthroat billiards.

The Pakistanis have their share of boomerangs.

Just look how the wars work.

So wars create incredible costs.

So the 1965 war, the Pakistanis get exactly nothing.

And the United States, Pakistan had been the largest aid recipient of the, I'm not sure if I got that right,

But anyway, they're a huge aid recipient from the United States.

Well, after this war, we're not so interested, so that's a lot of money down the tubes.

And then in the 1971 war, great guys, you lose Bangladesh, which, by the way, has over half your population, so that Pakistan is no longer the most populous Muslim country, Indonesia is.

And if you look at the Cargill War in 1999, this is when Pakistan tries to again go below the line of control in Kashmir to try to take some more of Kashmir back.

Pakistan has to cross right back, and then it gets sanctioned for all of this.

So none of these wars have actually worked out very well for Pakistan.

And then if you think about it,

India and Pakistan are natural trade partners.
