Russia Considers Pakistan Its Principal Nuclear Threat: Expert

From Press Trust India:

Washington, Apr 11 (PTI) 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.

My Comment: The Russians have good reasons to be concerned. Pakistan is not only imploding, but the ones who will have control of its nuclear stockpile have close ties to the same Islamic extremists that Russia is fighting against in the Caucasus and other predominantly Muslim regions of its country.

Russia is not the only country that should be concerned .... India is naturally worried, but it is us in the West who should be the ones who are really worried.
