How much of Khan’s work was him doing things for Pakistan and how much was him enriching himself?

Pakistan’s various internal organizations like the ISI are beholden only to themselves, not the political or military leadership.

And who is to say someone else wasn’t positioned as a straw buyer on Taiwan’s behalf?


I think you have been reading too many Tom Clancy novels.

How would you explain China's chosen silence on this issue? Besides, did the OP ever provide a source on this information?

Taiwan goods are much more towards ceramic than plastics of the Chinese products .

Yes just not a link bc it's behind a paywall. The info, if true, will come to light in the open soon.

You don't say?

Xi would literally be on television screaming about this, and it would be front page news in every major publication on the planet already.

But they’re cheap knockoffs of American nukes with lots of plastic that’ll get brittle and crack within a year.


I am starting to wonder if our Nukes say "Made in China".

2) if Taiwan does have Nukes, their President would be singing it from every rooftop.


no he wouldn't- would be more of a deterrent if he just keeps his mouth shut about it.

Check out the Israelis.

Well the Biden administration is buying drones from the Chicoms. What could go wrong there?

You have no idea if they do or don’t. That doesn’t stop you from making definitive statement.

That’s your pattern. The last part of the pattern is you are almost always proven to be wrong

The world suspects Isreal has it. That’s the deterrent. Same with NK.

They have to suspect Taiwan has them in order for there to be an effective deterrent.

I would assume any developed country that could afford them would want them. Hopefully they would never be needed but if they were I (as the leader of that country) would want every option available.

Dude, you’d get a much bigger notification than that, like say a nuclear strike being launched at Hawaii over it. Only we could have given it to them and China would not take too kindly to that.


I continue to be amazed at the number of naive people that seem to think we would tell China or the world that we have supplied nuclear weapons to Israel or Taiwan.

So how much actual damage would that dam going down do to the country?

Would it make Xi crap his pants?

Would he? It appears you know very little of Xi. And why would it be on any news organization's front page? If it were a democrat administration that supplied the weapons you wouldn't hear a peep out of them concerning it.

I think it would just really, really piss him off and use it as an excuse to openly go scorched earth.

I think you and I (and others) are in agreement that's it's definitely possible they have them. Maybe it was Trump's way of saying "even if I'm not in office you can defend yourself against Chinerman"

That's the great lesson countries have learned form North Korea. Posses nuclear weapons and no one will mess with you. That's why Iran is so desperate to obtain them.
