Can Pakistan can ship nukes to Iran fast enough for the Iranian economy to supply in return a militarily useful quantity of anti-air and anti-missile defence systems? On a timescale of "shooting currently happening"? If not, that's a problem for the rest of the decade, whereas an escalating situation on this border could've already evaporated a few cities between me having read the headline 20 minutes ago and pressing the [reply] button now.


It is not that they didn't try supplying Iran with nuclear tech.

This is why I'm comparing nuclear trade to high cholesterol. It's a long-term issue.

The "knife fight" comparison is that they just got hit. The military needs are "literally, not metaphorically, yesterday".
