Or could risk total embargo from every NATO country and every country that can be coerced to enforce embargo. They could find themselves in situation way worse than that of North Korea.

No one is ever going to embargo Pakistan completely even if their leaders are openly sponsoring terror - what's going to happen at worst is forced regime change.
