Pakistan has always been a military dictatorship, sometimes masquerading as a democracy. The army dominates all aspects of socio-political-economic life in Pakistan.
This Pakistan is actually mercenary state willing to do whatever anyone is willing to pay for. War, terrorism, drugs, genocide, nuclear proliferation etc.
During Black September conflict (Feb 1970) between Jordan and the Palestinians, Pakistani troops led by Brig. Zia Ul Haq actively supported the killing of 25,000 Palestinians in 11 days (more than killed by Israel had in previous 20 years).
Pakistan has been propped up by huge inflows from America, the West, and later the Arabs, and the Chinese, basically to create problems and troubles for others.
With a supply of almost unlimited funds and sophisticated weapons, Pakistan has been until recently encouraged tacitly and often openly by the global community to raise, arm, support, finance and legitimise numerous armies of terrorists.
Funded by Saudi Arabia and UAE, knowingly ignored by America, the Chinese provided the Pakistanis technology to make 125 nuclear weapons.
Within Pakistan all institutions of the state except the army, which are essential to ensure good governance, law, order and justice have been transformed into mere facades. All news is heavily censored. while terrorising its own citizenry is the order of the day.
All this power to disenfranchise the vast majority of Pakistani people, Pashtuns, Kashmiris, Baloch, Sindhi and Muhajir (refugee) people. Then seize the properties and wealth, rob, loot, kill, rape and massacre, these very people who are Pakistani citizens.
Pakistani government is so inefficient and ineffective, and corruption so rampant that there is next to nil tax collection and civic services, healthcare and education infrastructure are dismal.
The army runs a massive empire processing and exporting illicit opium based drugs valued at a staggering US$ 9 Billion per year. Its Fauji Foundation generates its own revenue stream of nearly 2 Billion US$ per year.
To ensure all power remains in the Army's hands enemies have to be created and threats have to be conjured up, while fantasies of empire have to be sold to a dumbed down population.
Hence Pakistan which has made terrorism and war as the national industry, has major disagreements and ongoing conflicts with every one of its neighbours and within its own provinces.
It has become the worlds leading proliferator of nuclear weapons and the global capital for breeding and providing sanctuary to terrorists, who continuously fan out across the world.
