    Why isn’t America freeing the people of Pakistan from an islamic dictatorship? They also own nuclear weapons which America doesn’t want any muslim nation to have.

      America themselves supplied the nuclear tech to Pakistan because at the time India was USSR’s strong ally and considered it a threat. Now ig Pakistan comes in top 10 countries with the most nukes so I don’t think US will try to mess with it now.

      Edit: Correction - Pakistan developed its nuclear program by stealing tech from Europe and China helped them.

          You can’t attack nuclear powers without very unfortunate consequences. You CAN attack countries trying to become nuclear powers without those unfortunate consequences, but there will of course be other consequences to consider.
