Pakistan would loose any unconventional war with India: Ex-CIA agent John Kiriakou

John Kiriakou, who has served as a CIA officer for 15 years, said Pakistan needs to come to a police conclusion that nothing good will come of the war between Pakistan and India, emphasising that Pakistan will lose in a conventional war. Kirikao also revealed that when he was stationed in Pakistan, he was told unofficially that the Pentagon controlled the Pakistani nuclear arsenal.

In an interview with ANI, the former CIA officer, who was the chief of CIA counterterrorism operations in Pakistan, said, “Nothing, literally nothing good will come of an actual war between India and Pakistan because the Pakistanis will lose. It's as simple as that. They'll lose. And I'm not talking about nuclear weapons -- I'm talking just about a conventional war. And so there is no benefit to constantly provoking Indians.”
