The atomic bomb (1945) and liquid fueled ballistic missile (1944) are not exactly state of the art technology. If you have the money and are willing to take the international condemnation the actual construction is no big deal. They built their own. India has the better bomb designs. Pakistan has a more primitive bomb, but has better missiles to deliver them. North Korea and Iran are both using bomb designs provided by the Pakistanis.

Pakistan’s first nuclear test was in 1998.

If you choose to “blame” someone, your guy is Clinton.

India’s first test was in 1974, and Ford was president.

Blame Clinton for giving the missiles to the Chinese and the Chinese for giving the missiles and the nukes to the Paks.
