Wisdom would suggest Pakistan maintain good relations with powerful countries.
There has been a realization within Pakistan’s foreign office that relations with US, China, Russia is not a dichotomy. But things happened in April ‘22 and everything just fell like a house of cards.
The funny thing is Pakistan is badly exposed. The US won’t go all out in committing to Pakistan as the current regime is surviving on razor thin majority, the Chinese are pissed off and the Russians just think the Pakistani leadership is a pussy.
Coming to the nukes, there is absolutely no doubt they’d remain there. Even if Bajwa and a number of corp commanders were to go rogue, they won’t be able to touch these strategic weapons.
Meanwhile, we have our neighbor to the east that accidentally fired Brahmos into Pakistan and the US whose had multiple broken arrow accidents. The Americans will keep coming up with these statements every now and then to keep the Pakistan unsafe nuclear narrative and use other tactics to keep the pressure up. If you expose your a$$, somebody is bound to violate it.
