Perhaps we can figure out a way to get Pakistan to sell off and/or decommission its nuclear arsenal in return for major financial assistance. They of course would be very reluctant with a nuclear armed India and China, but this could be an opportunity to take another country off the list of nuclear armed states. If Pakistan collapses and that arsenal is not secured the world will have a very serious problem.
A diplomatic effort to force Islamabad to recognize the (Pakistani) constitutional rights of Baloch tribes in the south west and end the genocide there being committed by the Pakistani army for at least the past ten years, is warranted with the medical and education benefits long denied, being made accessable a fast growing quick learning Baloch middle class would help bolster not just Pakistan's economy but eliminate a major source of instability. Which is China's belt and road directed loans and programs. Those Chinese construction projects, including the deep sea port at Gwaddar and a Chibese naval and Army base, also at Gwaddar, has been delayed for thirty years by Baloch tribes as neither China or Islamabad included consideration of the Baloch's in the original investment contracts, or in the ongoing construction. Instead of fueling economic growth and productive endeavors the military has pursued policies of forced disappearance, torture and murder of Baloch tribal leaders and Students.
The efforts to confront the bad actors in Beijing and Islamabad, have included a two month long march by wives, mothers and other family members of the nearly 8,000 Baloch, who had been kidnapped by ISI and Pakistani military units.
Pressure to put an end to the dissapearance of Balochi, to stop the torture ongoing at reeducation camps and to lift the sanctioning of murdering Balochs, staging horrific "accidents" and thinly veiled lies about the circumstances surrounding the detainment and death of Balochi tribesmen.
