PKK isn't dead still & it's being going on for decades longer than the TTP insurgency, so let's not overexaggerate their accomplishments.
I don't see Turkish soldiers getting killed or hearing news of it. Shootouts still happen from time to time.
Right now PKK is weak b/c no help from neighbours which they had before (I believe Assad regime especially used to support them).
Israel used to support them I think.
Turks didn't give a damn & carried out an op even though it damaged their relations w/ US.
Trump supported that op right? Or was this under Obama era.
That being said, unlike us, they have learned to take action before situation gets out of control like when US entered syria & started arming PKK.
So you are saying that at that point Turkey was in same predicament as Pakistan like in Waziristan and Balochistan.
Another possible reason is the culture they're raised in. As you yourself have said, revenge is a major component of pashtunwali. Afghans are also extremely arrogant & when you've been fed anti-pak propaganda for decades it creates a monster.
Yeaaaaaaa Afghans think they are the sh*t, Pashtuns in general are like this. I am one I would know XD.
It's interesting though to see how different Pakistani Pashtuns are for the most part considering their overwhelming loyalty to Pakistan. The country one is born in seems to play a major part in outlook & mindset even though they share the same basic culture.
The Lar O Bar thing was started by Kabulis, Pashtunkhwa has always been a place that was independent and had people and tribes doing their own thing. Also I'm not sure this is confirmed but the reason why Faqir Ipi stopped his insurgency in 1950s against Pak in Waziristan is because the other tribesmen told him he can't start a war against a Muslim country.
All of this comes to nought when you TTP sympathizers in the current government. You cant be carrot and stick with national security. You have to kill their local support.
But in order to topple Imran Khan, the establishment compromised on national security and brought back all traitors together. These PTM traitors have openly abused Pakistan Army. They have abused our shaheed soldiers. But since our COAS has to retire in West, and our military top brass is a bunch of undignified cowards, for a personal benefit, they dont mind compromising on national security.
PTM is political wing of TTP. You kill TTP but facilitate PTM in national assembly. This is not going to work and we will not buy this!
I will keep saying this
THE PEOPLE WHO NEVER SAY PAKISTAN ZINDABAD, THE PEOPLE WHO NEVER CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY, AND THE PEOPLE WHO THINK APS WAS A CONSPIRACY ARE IN THE GOV RN BOUTTA BE MINISTERS LMFAOOOOOOOOO
