Pakistan is the only true Muslim country in the world. There is no 'too religious'. I think you're missing the much larger picture. All of the conflict in that area is connected.
Turkey is melting down because of their public positions on various matters; especially Xinjiang; not to mention poor decisions around fiscal policy.
Pakistan and Khan mess. Super happy they finally arrested him. We shall see how it goes, I'm optimistic it should stabilize pakistan.
Karakoram highway is a huge deal. The probability it doesn't get blown up is quite low.
Kashmir matters no doubt, but this will make talks between the 2 nuclear powers never happen.
Khalistan/Punjab, I must admit I'm surprised how many gurdwars are flying the khalistan flags here in Canada. It's their last chance for at least a generation if they want it to happen. It's not going to happen this time, they likely popped this movement. Some entity pushed it too soon.
Ladakh conflicts... Basically China isn't happy about a road being built toward them in ladakh. 250,000 indian troops vs 60,000 chinese troops accidentally collided... 3 times. But dont worry it was just 'melee' or 'skirmish' and was no big deal... India proceeded to ban all of china's internet things. China has been a sleeping tiger for decades and they wake up to attack india? Interesting. Not saying they are wrong, but China also understands why and what's going on.

But more importantly we are 4 days away from the turkish election. Erdogan is likely to lose.

By this, your definition of stabilize is that the USA is again more firmly in command of Pakistan as a country. Khan is an antagonist who tried and failed to get Pakistan to be truly independent and not controlled by any other nation. Pakistan is unfortunately a pawn in geopolitical moves, and with his arrest the stooges in place will happily bend and dance for the powers that be as long as they can pocket a tidy sum.
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoThe first line is a strong claim, and KSA as well as Iran would disagree. Pakistan may say the have Sharia, but hadd is rarely enforced as far as I know. Theft is common and so are gangs.
- incomingpain 3y agoFrom day 1 the intention of pakistan was to form a true ideologically religious state based on islam. Iran and others are muslim countries no doubt but they aren't melding national interests with islam at any significant degree. Sure, 'no true scotsman' and your point of enforcement. I stand by my point.
- selimthegrim 3y agoI know that Musharraf used to say Pakistan is fortress of Islam but saying you’re the only true Muslim country in the world is kind of a stretch no? Why? Blasphemy laws? Nukes?
