THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
“Radical” is just a narrative. You can dance naked and have gay pride parades but it won’t change the calculus unless (maybe) you somehow prove that you will throw KSA, Turkey and others under the bus which won’t happen due to various reasons and proving it is another matter too.But this is again, the point you're missing, is Pakistan is viewed from the "radical islamist" angle- this is a valid threat because naturally, i dont think anyone would disagree that if you gave some TTP knob a nuke, he'd point it at them. We're hostile to them, theres no denying that, heck, we have the likes of khwaja asif, who threatened israel with nuclear weapons over a bit of fake twitter news.
I completely agree, we are a threat, IN OUR CURRENT STATE.
The idea should be to change that, to shift into a lowkey security partnership, with assurances, guarantees and mechanisms to assist but also ensure eachothers security. A win win for both.
