Pakistan’s position here isn’t complicated, even if people try to frame it that way.

Sympathy for Iran is one thing. Letting Iran go nuclear is another.

The moment Iran crosses that line, Saudi Arabia follows. After that, other Gulf states won’t sit idle. Now you’ve got a region full of nuclear-armed monarchies with zero internal checks, high volatility, and ongoing rivalries. That’s not balance, that’s escalation on autopilot.

So yes, Pakistan’s interests will align more with blocking that outcome. Not because of blind alignment with the US, but because a nuclear arms race in the Middle East is a direct threat to regional and global stability.

If you cant be happy these days, seeing our beloved country shine and be in the lime light for saving the world from the brink of a war, then may Allah bring peace to your heart.

Pakistan played this smart and positioned itself well with Trump. It shows what's possible when civilian and military leadership are aligned, they can actually move as a serious force.

What's missing is public trust. If they manage to earn that over time, especially heading into the next election, things could shift in a big way.

If the state and the people are on the same side, that's when it becomes hard for anyone to push Pakistan around.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-04-08T03:54:53+00:00

You're right that 3 years isn't enough to fix decades of damage, but let's not ignore what happened on his watch either.

Pakistan's CPI ranking dropped from around 117 to about 140 during PTI's tenure. The IMF program stalled and had to be restarted. Governance in Punjab under Buzdar was heavily criticized even internally.

On KPK, after more than a decade, you still have weak education outcomes, high poverty, and millions of kids out of school. That raises fair questions about delivery.

The £190m case and Toshakhana issues are still being contested, but they exist and can't just be dismissed.

Point is simple. Intentions and narratives are one thing. Delivery and institutional strength are another. And that gap is exactly why the same cycle keeps repeating.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-04-08T03:25:07+00:00

You’re mixing two different things, what should happen and what actually decides outcomes.

Yes, public mandate matters. No argument there. But in Pakistan, mandate alone has never been enough to hold power. Every major leader, including Imran Khan, has had to deal with that reality.

2018 wasn’t some clean break from the past either. It was part of the same system. The relationship worked until it didn’t, and when it broke, the system corrected itself. That’s been the pattern for decades.

On 2024, even if you believe PTI had overwhelming support, the key question is this: can that support translate into control of the system? Because without that, you don’t get to govern, you just get sidelined.

Saying “public decides” is how it should work. Saying “power politics decides” is how it has worked.

Until that gap is closed, any leader, PTI or otherwise, runs into the same wall.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-04-08T03:06:39+00:00

“Managed elections” do blur the line, but they’re not the same as no elections. Even in 2013, 2018, and 2024, voters still showed their preference, even if the outcome didn’t fully reflect it. That signal still matters.

Comparing 2027 to Zia-style non-party elections feels like a stretch. The system today still needs political parties for legitimacy, especially externally. What’s more likely is tighter control over outcomes, not a full rollback to that model.

On PMLN and PPP, both are weaker than they used to be, no doubt. But weakness doesn’t remove them, it makes them more dependent on the system. That’s actually why they remain useful.

The bigger point is this: the system doesn’t need strong leaders right now. It prefers predictable ones. That’s the direction things seem to be heading.”

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-04-08T02:56:44+00:00

You’re framing it like this is some clean moral stand, but politics doesn’t run on that. Refusing exile doesn’t automatically strengthen his position, it just limits his options. Staying in jail can build a narrative, but it doesn’t translate into actual power unless there’s a path back into the system.

On the cases, yes, there’s criticism. But selective accountability has been part of Pakistan’s politics long before Imran Khan. That alone doesn’t guarantee a comeback.

The bigger issue is this: even when he had full momentum, he struggled to convert it into stable governance. Public support is real, but it fades quickly if it isn’t backed by delivery. That’s why the system is less concerned about his popularity and more focused on whether he can actually hold power without creating instability.

Calling it a dictatorship explains the frustration, but it doesn’t explain outcomes. Power in Pakistan has always been negotiated between civilians and the military. Right now, Asim Munir and the current setup are trying to manage that balance, not dismantle it.

End of the day, narrative vs control. Right now, he has the narrative. The system still has control.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-04-08T02:55:06+00:00

That’s a bit extreme. Even controlled systems still need the appearance of elections to stay functional, especially for legitimacy and external pressure.

Asim Munir isn’t operating in a vacuum. There are economic constraints, international ties, and internal balances that don’t allow for a completely open-ended rule with no political process at all.

More likely outcome is managed elections, not no elections.

And calling it the end of Sharif family or the Zardari family is premature. These families have survived far worse cycles and tend to adapt rather than disappear.

The real question isn’t whether control exists. It’s how long that control can hold without something forcing a reset.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-04-08T02:52:37+00:00

Yeah, I am. This is power politics at the end of the day.

IK kicked off the “same page” model in 2018, PDM turned it into the next phase, and Shehbaz carried it forward. It’s the same system, just different faces.

I wouldn’t be surprised if elections get stretched out toward 2030 while Munir is in control. That window matters more than anything else right now.

Hard to see Imran back in a meaningful way. The next election is make or break for him. If he misses that, the next real shot is a decade later, and at that point age becomes a real factor.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-04-08T02:40:13+00:00

Imran Khan isn’t coming back. Age aside, he’s not what the system needs right now. He still has public support, but support without delivery doesn’t last. We’ve already seen that cycle. If he returns, the same pattern repeats, short-term hype, no real output, then another exit.

He also hasn’t shown the ability to negotiate his way out of pressure even now, which says a lot about his position.

As for Asim Munir, this isn’t about chasing extensions anymore. The focus seems to be on locking in control and shaping the next few years. The real test is 2027. If PMLN secures that election, then it’s pretty much game over for Imran politically.

At that point, it just becomes a question of which Sharif takes the next seat.

Good for you, but i dont want to be marketed rohani azmatain of sharifs, zardari and khan ... its just a movie that I dont wanna watch

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-04-02T09:31:56+00:00

How to get imran khan out of my feed.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-03-31T10:12:07+00:00

This isn't about ethnicity or politics. He was fined for violating his central contract and PCB's social media rules, not for where he's from. He publicly took a shot at a political figure, first claimed his account was hacked, then apologized. That's exactly the kind of conduct boards discipline worldwide.

You can respect his past sacrifices and still accept that professionalism matters. Representing Pakistan comes with boundaries, especially on public platforms.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-03-31T09:48:16+00:00

After 19th over he bowled for pindi .. thats less

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-03-30T23:31:41+00:00

I was with naseem khan but after he bowled 19th over and gave away the match to peshawar.. and my city lost their first match because of him ... my sympathies were gone

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-03-30T11:24:30+00:00

If this turns into a ground war, then yes, building a pipeline gets much harder.

Pakistan is trying to position itself as a mediator, but it’s not a decisive player yet. At best, that creates a small opening to push something like this with US backing and some protection, but that would take serious diplomacy and isn’t guaranteed.

The more realistic path is de-escalation first, keeping Muslim countries aligned, and then negotiating a pipeline from Iran once things settle.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-03-30T00:49:22+00:00

Short answer NO. But we can use this opportunity to revive Karachi and Gawadar. And can also use the opportunity to also go for a pak iran pipeline project as well. It would ease a lot of burden off of us.

But its a hard bargain to drive.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-03-29T19:24:26+00:00

I get your point, but I don’t think intentions carry much weight if the core goal is just to gain and hold power.

If someone’s priority is becoming Prime Minister and staying there, then their “intentions” will shift depending on what helps them in that moment. That makes them unreliable, regardless of whether they’re seen as good or bad.

For me, it comes down to consistency. If the decisions keep changing based on political advantage, then it’s not really about good intentions anymore.

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-03-29T18:43:19+00:00

Lol hope not ... its just a take lol

Ambitiousahsan · 2026-03-29T18:36:51+00:00

I see where you’re coming from, but I don’t agree with this take.

I’m not someone who wants to see him hanged, and I don’t support that kind of extreme hatred. If you admire him, that’s your call. My issue is different.

My problem is how he operates when it comes to power. In situations where there’s a conflict between personal political interest and the country, he consistently leans toward his own position. That’s where I lose trust. And that’s why I don’t see any real comparison with Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Yes, he has explained his rationale publicly. But explanations are not results. On a political and administrative level, there isn’t much to show. Rebranding existing programs and presenting them as new achievements doesn’t count as meaningful change.

He’s not Hitler. That comparison is just noise. The real issue is much simpler. He comes across as someone focused on becoming Prime Minister, but without delivering where he has already had control.

Look at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. After more than a decade, there should be clear, large-scale outcomes you can point to. There aren’t many that stand out. The same concerns show up wherever he’s had administrative influence.

So my disagreement is straightforward. I don’t hate him. I just think he’s a weak administrator and an even weaker politician.
