Let's run with that thought. Let's say Pakistan committed to using nukes in retaliation for US drones shooting their citizens, what are they going to shoot at exactly?
They're supposedly developing longer-range capability capable of hitting some of Europe[1], but right now they might be able to hit some US military bases in the middle-east[2].
I'm not saying Pakistan isn't corrupt, but pretending that they could simply switch from their current US-friendly policy to a strategy that's openly adversarial to US-interests seems to blatantly ignore the realpolitik of the situation.

- rdancer 11y agoYou are right. I haven't considered that. They only care about the standoff with India, so it makes sense that their range only about covers her.
