“According to a US congressional report, Pakistan has addressed issues of survivability in a possible nuclear conflict through second strike capability. Pakistan has been dealing with efforts to develop new weapons and at the same time, have a strategy for surviving a nuclear war. Pakistan has built hard and deeply buried storage and launch facilities to retain a second strike capability in a nuclear war”
“Pakistani engineers, with help from the Chinese, are also said to be in the advance stages of developing MIRV technology for its missiles. This would allow the military to fit several warheads on the same ballistic missile and then launch them at separate targets.”
China says we need to ‘back Pakistan’ in their ‘war on terror’ today:

There are plenty of Islamists in Pakistan who couldn’t care less about surviving a return strike. They’ll just launch the damb things everywhere(they have both medium range and intercontinental capabilities) and jabber ‘Allahu akbah!’ crossed eyed and repetitively awaiting the return strike(if it comes. I’m not certain we wouldn’t blame ourselves somehow and await another barrage).
Iran is nowhere near strike capability with missiles but a sea vessel loaded with a warhead could easily be detonated by the bastards. We would then have no way of knowing for sure who the fuck had sent the thing.
