As you say, I think it was the cut in funding by Pakistan under US pressure that caused this group to capitulate. I do not think it was nuclear blackmail. Rather it was nuclear deterrence since both countries have nuclear capability. But funding could be the likely cause

A Survey A survey was conducted by the U.N. worldwide. The only question asked was: "Would you please give your most honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?" The survey was a HUGE failure. In Africa they did not know what "food" meant. In Western Europe they did not know what "shortage" meant. In Eastern Europe they did not know what "opinion" meant. In the Middle East they did not know what "solution" meant. In South America they did not know what "please" meant. In Asia they did not know what "honest" meant. And in the USA they did not know what "the rest of the world" meant.
