You give not only him but Paxtanis too much credit. If they were capable of thinking that far ahead they wouldn't be where they are now .Minor update - I m of the opinion Munir is already in the process of trying something. The recent political military and economic factors have helped shape his final decision. The root is in 2019, with India's growing capabilities that invalidate Pakistan's nuclear deterrence contributing to his decision. The tipping point IMO is water. The IWT moves, coupled with PakJab flooding this year is the final straw.
Munir knows only a PR bonanza will give him the bonafides he needs to right course and prevent disintegration of Pakistan. He needs a PR win that gives him the capital to make the changes he wants.
Yes but things in the USSR vis a vis a controlled implosion weren't planned out . It just happened. Similarly Munira tried to establish his credentials apart from a lot of other motives with Pahalgam & the aftermath.@_Anonymous_ - The disintegration of Pakistan is a real possibility now, and while you disagree I again put forward the idea that instead of a collapse, a controlled implosion is the way to go. A bit akin to the USSR. A mega shock in the field, 1-2 provinces leave, Nuclear assets secured and removed. The remainder shell staying under Fauj ki rehbari.
Probably succeeded too , to an extent. However the latest move will face severe backlash with most of which coming from his own Fauji Foundation.
What's he going to do to boost his reputation among the rank & file apart from the *censored* awaam ? Past experiences show it has always been needling India & this isn't a Munira speciality , it's been true of all his predecessors.
That should've been in the normal course of things. However with Munira around , he's actually accelerating the process , ie the implosion , not the way you think it'd unfold but the messy way things like this normally happen .Everyone gets what they want. The successor states have elements of state security leftover with chances of rapid progression for the remaining personnel makes policing a viable option. Everyone gets a bone to chew.
