I don’t think you are terribly clever based on your previous posts, but still, attacking a nuclear power would be really really stupid.

Would Obama's attacks in Pakistan count as attacking a nuclear power?

If not, why not?

If the targets hit in Pakistan were enemies of Pakistan and the US, carried out with the cooperation of the Pakistan government, then they were not attacks on the Pakistan government.

Just as General Andrew Jackson attacked pirates on an island off the coast of Florida that then belonged to Spain, when a power can not control its territory, it loses claim to sovereignty.
