This is how the world is right now. Netanyahoo, Trump, modi, Putin, Asim muneer, they are all different angles of the same picture and rather unfortunate they are running the show
I know you are scared to debate but you can tag me in properly.
Negative!
Israel, yes due to public and backlash from within the Army.
They want our rare earth minerals for free by using the establishment as fronts and offering commissions. IK fought to rescind the Reko Diq after the establishment messed up and cost PK billions in fines. And as soon as he had done the hard yards he was illegally overthrown and then the establishment sold (or attempted to) the mines to Saudi for a pittance. Establishment aren't loyal to PK, they are loyal to their own familes and their bank accounts.
Brother within that 70 years there is also support to anti American movements in Afghanistan, total support towards China.
when is he due for retirement?
That’s a nice picture, but you forgot the lassi, a beautiful concoction of Indian and PTI supporters’ tears.
He will serve until 2027 at the very least, but I hope he stays as long as his health allows because after a very long time, Pakistan have had a daring general like him at the helm who doesn’t allow anyone to mess with Pakistan and is a true patriot who protects national interests.
It is normal for country's to invite people and push for their agenda.
Which isn't a great thing, but atleast Pakistani Establishment is back to being loved , the goal of the skirmish was achieved by Field Marshal.
Its about the $$$$$. You show the wonga, you get heard
Don't forget this was you during and few days after the war... No lights, no fan .....
American Government or Trump (or Biden/Harris) were never going to put pressure on Pakistani military to release Imran Khan, that's a folly of PTI (in Pakistan and overseas). CIA & Pentagon will have a big say in US Foreign policy and Pakistani military are always the useful idiots.
Absolutely agreed.
Independent reported it back in April 2025
A person without principles would do as you suggest but IK isn't your average person. I think he knows that he will die in prison, obviously we pray and hope that he isn't murdered like this but Kaptaan wont back down. Munir, Bajwa and the puppets have no ghairat or Imaan and have betrayed PK for personal gain.
My wife doesn't understand a word of Urdu, never been to Pakistan and has no clue about Pakistan or politics but says that Imran Khan is truthful and honest.
For personal gain, a crooked, thuggish elite has sacrificed PK. Our constitution has gone, our rights have gone, there is no law and order, we have an establishment taking orders from America to help them attack our Muslim neighbour. His treatment will haunt PK for generations and none of those that betrayed PK by locking him up and destroying PK will ever be forgiven.
Did he also say that Iran will nominate Trump for nobel peace prize after he nudges them?
I listened to Wajahat's vlog and straight away I could see the holes in his plan. Release of IK suits establishment but they won't just release him without certain guarantees. General's demand two things from IK as per my understanding;

This is a question that I have thought about. Imran Khan, like majority Pakistanis including me, had the false impression that these corrupt ruling families were the cause of all ills in Pakistan. General impression was that yes these military higherups do some corruption here and there but the real evil lies with corrupt politicians. So IK allied himself with the military to go against these corrupt families. What most of us failed to realize was that our real battle was not against certain political ruling families but a nexus of corrupt elite that enjoys the benefits of prevalent extractive system. Generals, politicians, judges, bureaucrats, property and media tycoons etc are all one in their opposition to common Pakistanis represented by Imran Khan. Even the anti Imran Khan podcasters on youtube such as Eon, Shehzad Ghayas, Syed Muzzamil Shah etc belong to a certain affluent class.
IK has himself accepted that he can't judge character. He grew up in a semi elite circle of Pakistan, attended Atchison College and then went to Oxford in London. Lived rest of his life as a superstar. That life doesn't inculcate the kind of street smartness that is required to judge character. He is also driven by a sense of idealism that limits the ability to see people and situations in non deterministic manner.
I hope that's true. There seems to be no way out of this quagmire. May Allah help our nation.
Munir's stance against India has been spot on. Can't say what he will do with US. I do think people are going overboard in their assessment that Pakistan will give military bases to US for attacks against Iran and Afghanistan. I don't think Munir will make that blunder but generals do have a history of subservience to US.
Imran Khan believed (like most Pakistanis) that military will never openly go against the will of the people. His plan was that even in case of vote of no confidence, he has the streets and he will straightaway go for elections. That is exactly what he did.
A leopard never changes its spots
A corrupt elite without morals, not bound by any laws will never give up power voluntarily. The CJP at the time was all talk and by the time he and other useful idiots like Minullah at IHC realised that they had been played, it was too late. The fact that Bandial didnt have the balls to have his orders enforced( elections in 90 days)made every criminal act normal.
