Texas has the most oil in the us. California is third on the list, and a nuke wouldn’t destroy all of California. It would destroy enough and be just enough of a shock to distract our country even more, so that non-nuclear missile attacks could be launched at our defense centers and more important regions. It would damage out numbers, our moral, and our spirit to fight but it would damage much. The US wasn’t destroyed, just certain parts of the land from bombing, war, etc. the only part that wasn’t livable was an area around California that was nuked. It wasn’t a huge nuke meant to destroy us either. It was a distraction tactic. We were preoccupied in India and was not expecting Pakistan to turn on us while we were focusing our attentions elsewhere.

Also, regardless of the technical terms Pakistan lies under, they would listen to China if they told them what to do. Allies nigh have not been the correct term, but they get along and China supplies them with military equipment and aid. Pakistan has also recently started testing out submarines capable of launching nuclear missiles.

If North Korea had the ability to hit the us from there, Pakistan could definitely do it with China’s secret help, and claim they didn’t know they were in their oceans doing that stuff if he plan failed.

Who’s to say they weren’t behind the recent shit to do with North Korea? Kim might have had too much of a big mouth so they switched their plans to a more manageable face.

I’m not saying it was a vision of the future (even if I feel like it was) but the fact that the main barrier between Pakistan having access to our west coast is India and China, and their friends with one, and I dreamt the other was destroyed, kind of scares me.
