Pakistan economic crisis: If the situation worsens, Pakistan’s nukes will be taken away like this, what is the US ‘snatch and grab’ plan?

Inflation has hit a 48-year high in crisis-hit Pakistan, and the International Monetary Fund is seeking urgent talks, according to data released by the country’s statistics office. In January 2023, year-on-year inflation was recorded at 27.55%, the highest since May 1975. Pakistan’s economy is in deep trouble. The fifth largest population in the world has less than $3.7 billion in state banks. Many reports have even claimed that if the situation in Pakistan does not improve, it will default in May. In such a situation, many reports have started to make claims of civil war in Pakistan and even its outbreak. If Pakistan is destroyed, what will happen to its nuclear bomb? Haven for terrorists Pakistan’s nuclear bomb has always been a threat to the world. In such a situation, the current situation in the country cannot rule out the possibility of some radical group seizing power there. So instability in the nuclear-powered country may turn out to be a great threat to the world.

This could also happen in Pakistan, the United States had sensed this possibility a long time ago. Not only this, we have also made complete preparations on what to do when such a situation arises. The United States has drawn up an emergency plan for Pakistan, called snatch and grab. It means removing weapons and keeping them in your possession. After the 9/11 terrorist attack, America’s keen eyes have remained on Pakistan. Pakistan is the only Islamic country that is equipped with nuclear weapons. In such a situation, if it falls into the wrong hands, it can become a huge threat to the entire world.

According to a 2007 Guardian report, the US spent $100 million between 2001 and 2007 to secure Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.

After the incident in 2004 and 2011, the United States went on full alert. It was also stated in a media report that if the US President feels that Pakistan’s weapons are a threat to his country or his interests, then he will activate the snatch and grab plan. We reported that in the year 2022, US President Joe Biden had branded a nuclear-armed Pakistan a threat to the world.
