The unfortunate thing is that when the US was complaining about Pakistani Army generals, the Pakistani public was not on the same page. Today, the Pakistani public has caught on and understands how the generals have misled them but the US is backing these generals. I look forward to the day when US and Pakistani people come to the same page so we can get proper democracy.
To me, like many others, this still seems to be a far cry from the wishfull thinking that Trump will act to get IK out of prison soo. The reasons you have already mentioned that thi gs have gone a bit too far in the wrong direction in Pakistan and a RESET, much needed though, may take a while due to Pakistani people’s rigidity of mindset on how to break free.
An alternative title for this post should have been "How to trigger the PDM".
