I have several thoughts on this whole foreign intervention.
1) Where is ISI and our bureaucracy? Isnt it their literal job to safeguard Pakistan against foreign elements? Well by looking at things it seems this time it was Pak establishment vs international establishment and Pak establishment lost.
2) Well i do agree that what USA did is wrong but this is our own mistake in the making. We as a nation want easy money well their is no such thing. We have not focused on our exports and now we are facing this blackmail. USA and west has leverage on us. Most of our exports are to USA and west, most of our people study and live in USA and west. And i know this is what many of us dont want to believe rn but education, military strategy, technology of west is far better than that of china or russia.
3) Now what can we do? This is eye opener for us as a nation. Are we willing to live like this forever like a slave. People of rurap areas of punjab, sindh, kpk balochistan now need to focus on national integrity. We now need to have a technological base and must diverify our exports. Our exports need to be technological base and no only agricultural. Just look at japan does it have natural resources? NO! Its a tiny tiny country yet their exports are 28 times of Pakistan.
4) Pakistan need to have a strict non bloc policy. We must have a policy in which we eant economical relations with RUSSIA, CHINA and west. We must buy military hardware without any foriegn subsidy so we cannot be blackmailed in that regard.
IK was doing the right thing in foreign policy but his strategy is all wrong. You cannot shift foreign policy abruptly. RN our import from china coubt for 1/4th of total imports and yet our exports to china are less than 8% of our total exports!
I think the above mentioned type of blunders has forced our establishment hand to give up and left our civil govt open to foreign intervention.
