I agree wholeheartedly. But how do we handle their nukes? I guess we should keep them stewing in a long drawn conflict with no ground invasion, where they continue to slowly weaken over years and we build up a dedicated plan and NEST- like capability as well as deploy a solid BMD as insurance. Then, when we feel absolutely ready, we should execute a grab for their nukes. Honestly, I think its a lot.... could end up being a total disaster despite years of planning.... even if we get to their nukes and capture them behind enemy lines, how the heck do we extract the nukes? Can't just sabotage them so they fizzle, because they'll just reuse the materials for another bomb. And if Pakis catch wind of this plan before hand? Cobalt 60 bombs can be nasty business. I think we need a dedicated thread to brainstorm how to defang Paki nukes and nuclear production capacity. This is the final missing piece of our puzzle.
