With continued chaos in Pakistan, and without any signs of light at the end of the tunnel, and no ideas how to resolve the threat of terrorism emanating from Pakistan (where the terrorists seem to be getting stronger by the day), is Russia correct in its concerns?
Washington: Describing Pakistan as the “principal” nuclear threat to Russia, an eminent foreign policy and security expert has claimed that Moscow would support any US endeavour to take away Islamabad’s atomic weapons in case of any destabilisation in the Islamic nation.
“Russian authorities for many years have been indicating that Pakistan was a much more serious problem, both for nuclear proliferation and for nuclear terrorism, than Iran,” Alexei Arbatov, Chairman of the Non-Proliferation Programme of Carnegie Moscow Centre, said at a recent seminar here.
"Russia has been living already for more than a decade within reach of Pakistani nuclear missiles and without any means to defend against them.
So Russia considered and considers Pakistan to be the principal threat from the point of view of nuclear proliferation," he said.
Arbatov was a member of the Russian Parliament from 1994 to 2003 and Deputy Chairman of the Defence Committee.
Author of several books, he is also a member of the Advisory Council to the Foreign Minister and heads a panel on strategic planning for the Scientific Board of the Security Council of Russian Federation.
Re: Russia considers pak a principal nuclear threat.
No its not.
Taking away Pakistan's nuclear assets would officially deem Pakistan as a failed state if it isn't already.
Anyone out there who thinks logically would by now come to the sincere conclusion that the people that run Pakistan don't care if it existed. All these arm chair chaudhry saabs who believe X, Y, Z is going to come and save Pakistan are either stupid or naive.

That's the thing, Immigration is a very very good thing. It allows people to get out of the squalor and bull**** circumstances they're in and travel to somewhere better.
If you'd rather live in a tinpot pseudo democracy with dirt roads and basically no infrastructure because the economy is based on rugs and nuts then by all means, do so.
Just because your incompetent to see the real bigger picture isnt my fault. The fact that pakistan is barely greater than an African shi.thole just shows what past leaders have done for Pakistan.
Every decade we are fighting to stay on the map. woohoo!!!!
