A continuation of this thread from the beginning of this year (since it's already too old to be bumped): https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-indo-pakistani-war-in-2002.459815/

So, the consensus seems to be that Pakistan, in the event of a nuclear war with India during the 2001-2002 crisis, would be utterly wrecked and likely balkanized. If Pakistan just vanishes, would the Taliban and other jihadist groups be strengthened? Could it be enough to force Bush Jr. to focus his "war on terror" effort on completing the job in Afghanistan (if it can be completed as the region would have been thrown into chaos) before moving on to Iraq?
What about Pakistani refugees?
