if you think your nuclear program is entirely indigenous then you are incredibly (hilariously) mis-informed
by the way "nuclear technology" was not stolen by Pakistanis; an older
DESIGN for a centrifuge cascade (which Pakistanis re-vamped and enhanced completely) was stolen by AQ Khan (a metallurgist, not a nuclear scientist). Still doesn't mean that we had a carte-blanche and suddenly had the technology. The ISI had to get involved in order to set up front companies just so that we could safely and reliably source all the components and materials (like maraging steel for example) needed to build those centrifuges - without any major suspicions being raised.
the israelis the british and americans at one time or another have also done similar things in their own times...countries do what is in their best interests, including defense interests...it was your side that started the nuclear arms race in South Asia, we simply responded
by the way your nuclear program is largely run by civilians whereas ours is both civilian but mostly military in nature.....your country will have to contend with American and IAEA inspectors to come to your nuclear sites with their bureacratic checklists and auditing procedures to ensure your nuclear supplies are not being mis-allocated or mis-used. Have fun with that.
It's in Pakistan's interests that if we secure any nuclear energy deals - it should be done with the Chinese, who will not be so intrusive.
exactly!
