Pakistan is nearing civil war. The new civilian government will not be able to govern the county, or control the army and the security services.

Many in the army and security services are now quietly allied with the jihadists, and they will only become bolder as the army as an institution begins to fragment. There will be a growing attempt to “talibanize” Pakistan.

Other Pakistanis will resist, and India, quietly, will assist them. It won't be long before these two sides will be at each others throats.

Frankly, I'm worried that the Pakistan government will be controlled by the Taliban, just as they did in Afghanistan after the former Soviet Union went home.

If that happens, it won't be just a bunch of tribes feuding among themselves. Pakistan is a nuclear power, and I seriously doubt they will be using it just against India.

Yes and stopping the nukes in Iran becomes a moot point.
