Thank you - this is a very perceptive analysis of an important but seldom referenced and not widely understood area of study.

Given the unpredictable American policies in the future, wouldn't it be better to align to BRICS, ask Russia, Iran, and China to pressure the Taliban government to reduce "terrorist activities" (of course Pakistan has to stop interfering with Afghanistan's internal politics,) try to reach political settlement with Balochistan Independence movement by improving the local infrastructure using local companies and local manpower? China still gets its corridor, and Russia may be able to negotiate a path for another corridor into India. Kashmir is the most difficult one. In all such cases, the Pakistani government, military or civilian, has to recognize only political solutions can last. For the sake of the American deep-state, of course, the US has to keep Pakistan engaged in some kind of armed conflict.
