oh yaar im not military man either neither im radical. But yr country has really disappointed us here in the last decade when we were pursuing for peace that Mushy himself had established . So whats why we have almost completely eradicated those vulnerable militants from our soil who were used by the americans and have spared only those who r fully under our command. But now with these radicals being in yr helm of affairs and they have a lot of influence over yr bureaucracy both military and civil who in tern have a significant influence of west in them since RSS was made by british themselves in 1917 to counter Muslim Guards who were themselves fascists. But after the independence we had dismantled them but india didnt do this with RSS and that indira gandhi being instrumental in breaking of pak and now with Modi being yr PM and Gen Suhag as yr CAOS. Both these are in the direct alliance with them is a big concern for us being pakistanis and specially Modi snubbing us from just talks for kashmir which will actually bring peace because like u said ''proxy war'' is yr problem so being pakistani our problem with india is kashmir because of which all this happen. But u choose to live in yr own superiority complex because of bigger economy and size then obviously u leave us with no choice. Because pakistan is no bangladesh or nepal or any other SAARC country we do have the capability and the capacity to severely damage u.
Still we had gone in pursuit for peace with u and was done by no other then Mushy but what u did with us? Left us empty handed and on top of that build dams on our waters and even asked World Bank not to give us loans to build our own dams to tackle the energy crisis in our country which in turn benefit our innocent people. Yr country now is not of Nehru or Gandhi's its of those radicals like Sardar Patel whom Modi, RSS guys worship. So now we have realized that the best way to deal with u is through wars and proxies as of now so that in future u may agree with peace (kashmir) and our much awaited trade and transit with india can become effective. So as of now proxy wars is all u will get so that yr people dont get brainwashed by them and a vision for a common good can become a reality in yr country.
So as far as pakistan's relations with other regional countries are concern we are building them equally and trying to grow this region as a whole regardless of india is with us or not. Here have a look at the latest.........Our strategists now will not repeat the past mistakes........
Pak, Iran to expand cooperation in trade, economy
Let me repeat again, we as the citizens of our country will do whatever is in the best of interests of our country first them anything else.
