One thing about the Pak nukes that really is disturbing is that rather than them being centrally controlled like we are used to in Russia and the U.S., the Pak nukes appear to be only in control of individual warlords.

Say what you want about Pakistan, but the army is very tightly controlled and the discipline there is real. Those nukes are under very tight control, and to our satisfaction. Pakistan is not Somalia with nukes.

Huh? Pakistan is a military dictatorship. The only control over the Military is the Generals who run it.

Even when Pakistan had a civilian government, the president had to ask the CIA to brief her on what Pakistans nuclear capabilities were. Her military would not tell her. Tightly controlled? What a joke.
