Would we have international support if it looked like the Taliban were about to capture a nuclear weapon?
I think we would, at least among the suspected targets of that weapon (London, Berlin, etc.).
The Saudis might not like it, but screw'em we have bigger priorities.
But you're right. We don't really care about world opinion anymore. I guess number 8 is off the list, permanently.
International support is not impossible in such a scenario but it [support] can't be used as a concept-tool for American policy-makers. That's the point I'm trying to make - as long as it's got through then I'm happy.
Apologies for the shouting...
