Nuclear Weapons!!
In the mid-1970s Pakistan embarked upon the uranium enrichment route to acquire a nuclear weapons capability. Pakistan conducted nuclear tests in May 1998, shortly after India's nuclear tests, declaring itself a nuclear weapon state. Pakistan currently possesses a growing nuclear arsenal, and remains outside both the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). It also is the sole country blocking negotiations of the Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty (FMCT).
Capabilities Hans Kristensen and Robert Norris characterize Pakistan as having, "the world's fastest-growing nuclear stockpile." [1] According to the SIPRI 2018 Yearbook, Pakistan possesses between 150 and 160 nuclear weapons. [2] Pakistan has stockpiled approximately 3.4 ± 0.4 metric tons of highly enriched uranium (HEU), and produces enough HEU for perhaps 10 to 15 warheads per year. Pakistan also has a stockpile of about 280 kg of weapons-grade plutonium . In addition, the Chashma reprocessing plant that began operations in 2015 is thought to have expanded Pakistan’s plutonium production capability by 50-100 kg per year

Meanwhile we have treasonous congress critters wanting us to get rid of our nukes.
Biden decision on Afghanistan is going to get people hurt, big time!!

Donald Rumsfeld
Hopefully... I can provide target coordinates locally.
Are you forgetting about (Gasp) Glowbull Climate Change?
No way the Taliban would play in our sandbox. Why when they can wait us out on the world’s trip back to the 7th century?
The article at the site you linked to does not have the title you appended to your post:
Do the Taliban have something worse than the Covid virus? NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!
This is dishonest sensationalism and alters work published by others.
Think they’ll go for DC, New York, or Silicon Valley first?
If you had read The Sum of All Fears by Clancy you’d remember that the muslims killed the bomb maker before he had a chance to purify the tritium which resulted in a much, much lower yield than what was predicted.
The liberals and media will protect Biden. They will just claim that Trump was the one that started the withdrawal without a plan
Altered Title Alert!
Yep
When Al-Qaeda uses Afghanistan to attack New York City again:
I will not shed a tear.
I have learned a lot since 911.
Hopefully New York City.
I’ve come along way since 911.
I no longer give a rats ass if they attack New York City.
Strange that a freeper would think that nuking anywhere in the U.S.A. would be O.K.
But yet ... there it is in post #16 and #17 ...
If they nuke DC, I’ll really miss the Smithsonian.
