to be fair - for all three major asian nuke powers i.e. prc china , india and pak - NONE of them can really press the button and get away with it - no , not even prc china --- reason being that all three are in the same nuclear league and thus in a situation where no one would be the winner if a nuke battle ever got going .... the smartest thing would be to have a mutuallly supervised nuke disarmament - if that were ever possible.
And who controls the nuclear button Mr. Prime Minister?
Yes, keep this white elephant intact for the persistant slavery . It can never be for the security of Pakistan or Ummah as a whole . If it will be used against India or China then one can imagine the fate of Pakistan . It is not useful even for deterence .
