we should have done this 7 years ago, what would pakistan do? launch a nuke on us?

when a country fails to maintain its sovereignty over certain areas inside its borders, and thats causing much harm to 3rd parties, then those 3rd parties reasonably can take measures to fix or contain the threat, assessing the risks involved tho.

Its funny how we have made attacks both in Pakistan and Syria with whom we have diplomatic relations and have totally backed off from confronting Iranian regime which we accuse so much of killing and helping harm on American troops in the region...
