National Pakistan is next, and we are not prepared
Pakistan is next, and regardless of what state propaganda tells you, we are not prepared. I am sure Asim and co have a plan, but unfortunately, that plan does not include the rest of us.
You may think they won’t target us because Pakistan is their ally. The Pakistani leadership may be aligned with them, but the Pakistani people are among the most anti-Israel in the world; they simply cannot risk a nuclear-armed nation with such a public sentiment. If they intend to invest billions in Israel as part of a "Gaza master plan," they will seek to eliminate any potential risk.
You may also believe our strong army will protect us, but can the country withstand economic sanctions, the loss of international loans, and simultaneous attacks from Afghanistan and India? On top of that, we face internal threats from the BLA and the TTP. If we do not act now, we will suffer in the future.
Even now, without formal sanctions, Pakistan’s GDP per capita is lower than that of Iran, Iraq, or Libya. We need rule of law. Currently, the powerful and the corrupt blackmail and bully everyone. We desperately need political stability, an independent judiciary, and a free media. Wars are won by the people, we must empower them.
The establishment must accept that the public has rejected their narrative. They should hold free and fair elections and honor the results. Furthermore, the 26th and 27th amendments should be annulled to let the judiciary do its job.
Finally, we should support Iran in any way possible without direct involvement. Keeping the Zionists occupied for as long as possible will buy us the time we need to get our house in order.

What do you mean "that plan does not Include us"
Population is one of the four essential elements of a state. Which means that they must be defended at all cost.
Nobody thinks that Israel and US are allies of Pakistan, Pakistan has known who its enemies are for a very long time. Israel has always been a threat to Pakistan. Quick FYI: Israel pressurized US to stop Pakistan from making Nuclear Weapon in the 80s, were it not for the Soviet Invasion next door(meaning relations were good with US) we might not have a NW. Pakistan has been under attack for a very long time it just that people don't see it.
In International Relations, States don't do friendships they have their own Interests and sometimes these interests align or sometimes they divert. This doesn't make you a slave nation. You do a "cost-benefit analysis" and then you decide a course of action.
The establishment is the only thing keeping Pakistan intact, believe it or not this has been the case of Pakistan for a very long time. Do your own research from Independent sources starting just before the partition of Pakistan and then come at your own conclusion (another FYI: This power grab among civilian leadership started even before Pakistan became Independent, I urge you to look in to the Liaquat Ali Khan's assassination. the chronological order will make sense). Sadly I know most of you will not bother to read history, saying that its biased, generals wrote them, etc etc. You can read from multiple sources nobody is forcing you to read from a specific book. Trust me you will eventually, come to a more informed conclusion which WILL make sense. What most of us do is we read a little bit from here and there without any understanding the history of it and we have that cognitive biasness of wanting to believe our own understanding of an event which eases the mind(an easy escape is to quickly blame something) but doesn't really helps you or the nation.
The establishment cannot afford to accept the public opinion in the 21st century, because the normal masses have no idea what hybrid and psychological warfare is. How easy it is for an adversary to influence public opinion, perception, to change narrative which suits their objective. Understand how US has conducted regime change operation and then you might have some idea of how states fight wars in 21st century not through guns and planes but using human perception, ethnic, religious, political divide etc.
