This isn't an option. Not within a nuclear window. The only bases within range are Al Udeid and Camp Arifjan. Hence its inclusion in the above scenario.

> then China would be genuinely pissed and a WW3 conflict can arise

This is tantamount to saying Pakistan can't actually retaliate. Which is my point. Pakistan's nuclear deterrent doesn't actually deter America. China does.

It does, US cannot disregard the consequences of a strike on India regardless of their relationship with India.
