Can the Taliban Capture Pakistan...and Its Nuclear Arsenal?
Imagine a world where Islamic terrorists have nuclear weapons. And a real country.
Don’t miss yesterday’s analysis on the newly-declassified Biden Domestic Terror Plan. It’s breathtaking, and you need to read (and share) it.
NOTE: Given the renewed strife between India and Pakistan (which we assess as having a low probability of becoming a full-scale conflict), it is perhaps important to remind our readers of the real danger in Pakistan: that of a Taliban regime taking power in Islamabad. The threat is real, not least in that the Pakistani equivalent of the CIA, the ISI, has long been riddled with Taliban assets. And now that Joe Biden has given them a country, their available resources for such a push are significant.
But unlike Afghanistan (population 44 million), Pakistan is a real country, with 255 million real people, a real military, and a real nuclear arsenal. And ironically, our growing ties with India have potential to embolden the radicals and increase their support, no matter how important it is that we pursue those ties.

Can the Taliban Capture Pakistan...and Its Nuclear Arsenal?

April 29, 2025
Much focus right now is on talks with Iran and the Iranian nuclear program. That makes sense. We are on the brink of seeing Iran go nuclear and the entire Middle East go up in flames. There is another grave danger getting much less attention, however: the possibility that Islamic terrorists may acquire nuclear weapons.
When Joe abandoned Afghanistan to its fate, the American people were told that there would be no serious repercussions for their own security. The Afghans might be abandoned to the tender mercies of 6th century barbarians, but we would be just fine. This was, like most things we were told by Biden and his minions, a lie.
The men who rule Afghanistan now have no intention of living in peace and minding their own business. They are in the business of jihad. They are in the business of world domination.
The immediate target for them is Pakistan. They seek to overthrow the government in Islamabad. They seek to take control of one of the world’s largest nuclear arsenals. They are making serious progress toward that goal.
