Going out on a limb to give a few examples of what may go wrong that may still be turned into going in our favor if we prepare for it.
What can happen: A Terrorism event that leads to a need for another operation in border Area along Afghan/ Iran border, against...lets suppose the helicopter riding ISIS version in that area.
Scenario: Create Double jeopardy for US. Its time to cash in the friendship claim of Trump or expose his duality for just bragging what we want to hear on Kashmir to make us comply and help with the Taliban.
Opportunity: Getting Viper Zulu Attack Helicopters pronto. Make US put up or shut up (be exposed).
What can Happen: A Terrorism event targeting the Chinese in Gwadar.
Scenario: Gwadar port is a sensitive concern of China, why not invite China to base its Navy there.
Opportunity: Getting China up and openly against India and supporting an armed indigenous Kashimiri Struggle.
What can happen: Lifting of Curfew in IOK. India attacks Pakistan along LOC again, claims like Sir-Jee-Kal StrikeI.
Scenario: Kashmiri Mujahideen attack Indian forces or a false flag by India.
Opportunity: Getting Ammunition and training to IOK Mujahideen
Now if Indians do attempt terrorism activities in Pakistan and we all know that they are trying to sabotage CPEC and general peace in Pakistan as well as eyeing Azad Kashmir.
So this is just an example of how we can turn the table on Indians like never before attempted in recent history. Every catastrophe can be turned into an opportunity.
We have to be pragmatic as well as proactive in our approach towards the current Geo-Strategic paradigm. Anyone can read into the examples and get their brain waves going about possible scenarios and opportunities instead of dreading the worst outcome and waiting for the inevitable.
I do agree with
@IceCold that Pakistan may be waiting for the October FATF meet to make its move in IOK but we have to time our actions and preparations based on preempting the events in the region. IK mentioned how India tried to get us Black listed in FATF anyway so it is definitely a concern but Pakistan should indeed try to tread the tightrope of supporting the armed Kashmiri struggle.

The question of our meaningful existence may depend on the answer to the following; Should Pakistan leave the events of the region decide its fate or are we going to grab the initiative and do something about it.
