Pakistan expanding its nuclear capability
On the dusty plain 110 miles southwest of Islamabad, not far from an area controlled by the Taliban, two large new structures are rising, structures that in light of Pakistan’s internal troubles must be considered ominous for the stability of South Asia and, for that matter, the world.

Without any public U.S. reproach, Pakistan is building two of the developing world’s largest plutonium production reactors, which experts say could lead to improvements in the quantity and quality of the country’s nuclear arsenal, now estimated at 60 to 80 weapons.

2. I expect that one customer might just be the USA

Lawdy knows that the USA dare not, at least publicly,

create more weapons, and or weapons grade plutonium.

HEY -

just had a thought

If Russia and the USA are gonna reduce their nuclear arms,

why not just give a bunch to India, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, Iraq, Syria and whoever else wants them?

then EVERYBODY will have them, and the World will be one happy place!

think about it -

If the USA and Russia give away a bunch of their nukes, which they say they are gonna destroy anyway(ha -ha)

then those other countries can spend their money on silly stuff like food, housing and health-care!!
