  They have nuclear weapons.

    It is the threat of retaliation using nuclear weapons that keeps countries from doing certain things.

  North korea didn’t have them for the longest time. None of the middle east countries have them to this day. I wonder if Rusia would even retaliate like that, I suspect not.

      Does pakistan have a particularly problematic leader? Or why are we taking about them?

        Your statement about nukes in the Middle East was inaccurate.

    I don’t think Russia would really give a shit, or the US for that matter, at least not with their current ‘leaders’

    It has had a lot of artillery pointed at South Korea for quite a while, so I guess that helps.
