Pakistan's Historical Challenges and Fragility

Pakistan has faced significant challenges in the past, with critical issues related to governance, economy, radicalization, and nuclear weapons. The tension with India has also posed a threat, potentially leading to conventional and nuclear conflicts. Despite overcoming past terrorism challenges, recent years have seen a resurgence in threats, especially with the Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan. Economic weaknesses and ongoing terrorism issues keep Pakistan in a fragile state, requiring attention as a top US national security concern.
