It’s long since been time for Pakistan to put its money where its mouth is and begin doing what’s needed to prove that it’s not just stringing Russia along.
Let's not be TOO hard on Pakistan. How long has the CIA and its subsidiary organizations been meddling in Pakistani politics? How long has the US Empire been bribing the Pakistani military?
Of course they're hesitant to break free of the Empire because they quite reasonably fear imperial retaliation.
They eventually will, but only when they think they can get away with it. The sooner Russia and China can provide those guarantees the sooner it will happen.

I heartily agree with your perspective.
