The Taliban could get their hands on up to 150 nuclear weapons after America's catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, former Trump security advisor John Bolton has warned.

Bolton said it was possible the nuclear weapons could end up in the hands of the Taliban if the Islamists take control of Pakistan in an interview with WABC 770 on Sunday.

'The Taliban in control of Afghanistan threatens the possibility of terrorists taking control of Pakistan … that means maybe 150 nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists,' he said.

The US completed a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan on August 31, leaving behind military equipment that has already been seized by the Taliban, after the Islamists swept to power in a lightning offensive of the country.

Pakistan has an arsenal of approximately 160 nuclear warheads including 102 land-based missiles and F-16 combat aircrafts with 24 nuclear launchers.



Pakistan first tested a nuclear warhead in 1998, becoming the seventh country in the world to officially do so.

Its arsenal is seen as a defense against India, which first tested nuclear warheads in 1974.

Number of nuclear warheads: 160

Air capabilities: F-16 combat aircrafts with 24 nuclear launchers with a range of 1,600 km, Mirage III and V aircraft with 12 launchers with a range of 2,100km, and Ra'ad air-launched missiles with a 350km range

Sea capabilities: Recently tested a Babur 3 from a submerged platform and are working towards firing from a submarine

Land capabilities: 102 land-based missiles, six operational nuclear capable ballistic missiles

Bolton you can go away now.

In fact, anyone in DC over the age of 70 should probably just do the right thing and resign.

Pretty much this.

D or R in the WH, if they can get a good war out of them, the neocon war machine cares little either way.

Okay, John has gone insane then.

The ISI of Pakistan are the Talibans longest and closest supporters.  In fact, the Taliban are very much the ISI's proxy in many ways.  The likelihood of the Taliban attempting to take Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is about the same as the U.S. invading the UK.  Elephants are more likely to fly than that happening.

Look, we will be re-engaged in Afghanistan at some point just as we re-engaged in Iraq/Syria after our withdrawal from Iraq.  There is no national security reason to do so, but it keep the war machine funded and the cash flowing into the pockets of people either in Washington D.C. or closely connected to those who are in Washington D.C..  

Also, how many executive boards of defense companies and defense company funded "think tanks" is John a member of right now?  Probably a few I'm sure.  If that's the case then he has was we would call a "conflict of interest" in that since he personally profits from war we may want to be skeptical of advice about whether or not we should go to war.

The neocon king is on the case.

The best thing about Trump was neocons largely getting pushed out of the spotlight... but I'm sure they're all still jockeying to push out the remaining "trumpists" so they can continue to sell out their supporters through "principled conservatism".

Fuck John Bolton.

Sick of hearing "Boogeyman X could do this, maybe, if we don't WAR WAR WAR."

Not to mention it's absolutely retarded to even suggest those goatfucking, inbred morons could "take" Pakistan, no matter how well-armed we made them. Ruling via fear is not the same as conquering via strategy and tactics.

Well after they take over Pakistan they go for India, then once they have all their nukes they'll invade china via the Galwan Valley and eventually become a world super power with all the Pakistan, India, and Chinese nukes. Eventually the Afghan Afghani will become the worlds reserve currency toppling the US Dollar. By then it will be too late.

The Pakistan Intelligence Services created the Taliban. Bolton saying this is him striking the war drums again.
