Is Pakistan rising as a middle power?

[R2D2]

Why do you want Pakistan to become a "super power"?

Pakistani leaderships throughout history have desired to lead the Muslim World in all fields, but have never looked at becoming a global superpower.

Arab Beduins were also content with being left in isolation by the World Powers but the Islamic Ideology used their inherent toughness and righteousness to propel them to the World stage.

A long way to go

It nearly happened with Imran Khan's bold plan of making a new Alliance comprising Pakistan, Turkey and Malaysia.

The fundamental difference between a dream and a fantasy lies in this:

Whether you are willing to give everything for that goal.

Chinese and the Pak Caliphate can work jointly to deter aggression by the Western Powers.

Sorry!

China cooperates only with Pakistan—not with the non-existent "Pak Caliphate."

Btw:
If you ever find yourself within Chinese territory, under no circumstances should you use that term.

By 2100 Pakistan will become the 3rd most populous country in the world.

Our objective for now in this formative period is to maintain control of our territory. Being a middle power is just a stepping stone. We will become giants amongst men soon and begin aggressively expanding, ushering in the colonial era.

All these centuries of suffering and pain is sharpening the blade. From slave to master.

Then we will open up the black book and everyone will be counted, who has been our friend and who has been our foe and judgement will be passed. To be squashed like a bug or adored as brethern.

The problem with the incremental and gradual approach is that it can be countered by foreign powers at any point in the time line. Pakistan's weakness is its dependence on IMF bailouts. By adopting a radical approach of an economic union, Pakistan can quickly offset its financial weaknesses by adding rich Muslim countries. It can then play a bigger role on the World stage by protecting the Muslim interests and those of the Third World Countries. Imran Khan had worked on the idea of a coalition of Pakistan, Turkey and Malaysia, but when Saudi Arabia threatened him, he backed down. If he had gone ahead then it would have been a different picture today.

Here are the main unions formed in the 20th century:

Mergers / Unifications

• Germany (1990) — East and West Germany reunified after the fall of the Berlin Wall, ending 45 years of division.
• Yemen (1990) — North Yemen and South Yemen merged into the Republic of Yemen after decades as separate states.
• Vietnam (1976) — North and South Vietnam unified under communist rule following the end of the Vietnam War.
• Tanzania (1964) — Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the United Republic of Tanzania shortly after both gained independence.
• Malaysia (1963) — Malaya, Singapore, Sabah, and Sarawak joined to form Malaysia, though Singapore left two years later in 1965.
• UAR / United Arab Republic (1958–1961) — Egypt and Syria briefly united under Nasser's pan-Arab vision but the union dissolved after only three years.
• Somalia (1960) — British Somaliland and Italian Somalia united at independence to form the Somali Republic.

Loose Unions / Federations

• USSR (1922) — Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Transcaucasia formally united into the Soviet Union, later expanding to 15 republics.
• Yugoslavia (1918, consolidated through the 20th century) — South Slavic nations including Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia were brought together, though it violently dissolved in the 1990s.

Hah! It is the Law of the Jungle now where the military power matters more than the economic power. Ask how much Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia etc etc matter militarily in the Jungle we call the Multipolar World Order? They don't matter much and neither do their 'democracies' or their internal 'rule of law'. Any Pakistani here camouflaging their domestic political agenda is trying to fool this forum of their real intent.

Pakistan, Iran, Israel, America, China, India, North Korea and Russia are the 'middle' or proven powers because they have the claws, the fangs, the teeth, the kicks in the Jungle.

@Title, I hope so. But I want Pakistan to be a Great Power and not just a Middle Power.

First we need to fix our house.

There is no hidden Agenda. Pak Caliphate spells out clearly the agenda. What is your agenda?

Your metamorphosis from a skeptic to an Iranian lover is hilariously adorable
