There are several other countries that certainly WOULD have built

if they didn't have "the American umbrella" - Japan, maybe Taiwan,
certainly South Korea, Australia, Canada, Italy, Sweden (All of these

Pakistan has sold nuclear weapons to several countries.  Taiwan is

Right.  Which one of your apocalpytic future novels did that

You wish.  Pakistan sells nuclear weapons for hard cash.

 You have _zero_ evidence for that claim.

 From what I remember reading some years ago it isn't Pakistan that is selling the weapons.  It is the Pakistani _engineer/scientist_ who was the driving force behind Pakistan's nuclear weapons program that is (or at least was) selling the ability to make nuclear weapons.
