They just don&#x27;t use drones; instead, there will be a traffic accident or a suicide. Or a single-car traffic accident, where it&#x27;s unclear if the driver wanted to commit suicide or not.<p>The main thing that &quot;stops&quot; people from committing acts of war is that you cannot really keep it a secret for too long, and then you will have started a war. Pakistan is different, because while we wage war against their citizens, the central government (a) is only nominally in control of those areas, and (b) is given a metric ton of money each year by NATO, and they don&#x27;t hate money. If they didn&#x27;t have nukes, the war against Pakistan would be much more brazen (cf. Ukraine).
