I mean we are on our feet, let's not over exaggerate, we are not South Sudan or Burundi...Let's say Pak gets on its feet and somewhat starts crawling.
This logic is actually flawed, the reason people buy into this is the Zia era and the money bags back then, western nations especially in Europe have been most supportive of the democratic process inside Pakistan and engaging with elected governments -however we must at some point learn to understand that we are an Asian nation with very different internal dynamics pretending to playhouse with a western system of governance with Islamic overtones.Our debt to GDP falls to (say 50%) and growth rate to 4-5 (not much).
As it is said that the West feels at ease dealing with/controlling the deep state (a single person essentially) compared to the parliament, what other fears or disadvantages would the West have?
No one shoe fits all feet sizes, alas discussing this problem at length would completely derail this discussion and take it into the realm of politics and history - and we don't need any more history lessons in our lives.
A strong Pakistan disturbs certain entities closer in proximity to us than those sitting thousands of miles away. Yes, there is no doubt that there is a desire to see a Pakistan that remains pliable and easier to mold, but it is not limited to how the west see's us or wishes to see us. China has been a boon to Pakistan, an actual partner in development, but there are limits to what China can do, it too is suffering from a slowdown in the property market and economic challenges.Like a strong Pakistan disturbs the US West Asia policy (in what terms, alliances? ) Or would China have its feet in the Arabian Sea and thus compete with the US there?
Design is not just external bahi, again we have a habit in our society - we always like to pin the blame on others and never take any collective responsibility. All this started with our elders, it is a trickledown effect, this system you see in Pakistan wasn't propped up overnight.All that if the design you mean is external.
JF17 was a success story for Pakistan, the real problem is what happened to our provinces post 2010? Why does no one ever talk about that?I agee with the rest of the comment. Besides some misadventures by Mushi and NRO, it was JF17, Agosta, HEC, Telecom, Media, Al Kahlid, Suparco funds, IST, etc.
