I have to wonder if Iran could try to deal with Pakistan for some of those nukes. I’m sure both sides would love to use them on us.

That would make Pakistan weaker vis-a-vis India.
They hate the Indians far more then they hate us.
So its possible but unlikely. Also the Paks are Sunni, so that’s another problem.

Why not?
The Paks love to fight with everyone around them...

Because MuMed is really Ba’al and laughs when “his children” slaughter each other?

It’s what they do when there’s no common enemy

I’m going to say that they put their tribal values aside when they were focused on the United States. Now that the US is no longer a focus, they’ve gone back to fighting each other.

It doesn't matter. Somebody is always fighting somebody else in that part of the world.
But, given that these two parties are Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban, it has considerable entertainment value. May they live forever in each others' company.

I prefer that Pakistan nukes Afghanistan. There’d be less Pakistani nukes and less Afghan Taliban.

Pakistan is going to have a credibility problem attacking after the US for 20 years. Some terror, of course, but mostly laughter and taunt.

Joe Biden already armed the Taliban.

The two sides must figure they can’t do enough damage to rational nations so the next thing is to fight each other. The idea is insane, but I guess that’s the way they think.
