Yes. It created the Taliban and sponsored, trained and protected them until this year (may be they still do) -- so it caused trouble in 2 of its 3 neighbors.
Also, the problem is that these are all more "countries" rather than "nations" -- Pakistan for instance is a country of 5 nations: Punjabis, Sindhis, Baluchis (who are an Irani people who are also in the neighboring Irani province of Sistan-e-Baloch), Pushtuns/Pathans (who are also the majority in Afghanistan -- they were split by the British Durand line (which was set up by the English after their failed Anglo-Afghan wars in the 19th century) in the North-West Frontier province) and Muhajirs (Moslems from what is now northern India/Uttar Pradesh) --> they speak, respectively: Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi, Pushtun and Urdu
Similarly India is a federation of at least 30 to 40 different "nations" with multiple languages (400 I think), scripts (at least 24), histories, cultures, religions.
Afghanistan is dominated by Pushtuns but has still large populations of Tajiks (another Irani people), Hazaras (Mongolic peoples), Uzbeks and Turkmen (both Turkic peoples) as well as some Punjabis. Even Iran is not majority Persian but has many other Irani groups (Kurds, Balochis etc.) and some Arabs, Turkmen, Assyrians, Armenians etc. (the Assyrian and Armenian Christians are free to practise their religions and their ancient churches are not molested).
Sorry, got carried away
No problem. Your comments were interesting.
We may be talking past each other, but I don’t recall Pakistan ever using their nukes for bluster with other nations than India, itself a nuclear armed state.
My comments were made in relationship to Iran, which if it did obtain the bomb is almost certain to do exactly that. It would threaten all it’s neighbors with use of the bomb.
I am not alone in this thought. Saudi Arabia, the Emerate Nations, and a number of others are concerned with this as well.
Your comments about the Taliban, while relevant don’t really address the same thing I am. At least not in my perception.
Take care.
