Thing is -
> Pakistan is a pet of Anglo/US & was literally a MUNNA, now a condom of CCP as well
> This is not 1971 but 2024, there is just one super power & not two
> This super-power is headed by a ego-centric person, who is in a position to make things EXTREMELY hard for our military, we have seen how US support to UA has impacted RUS, so there is a limit to which we can withstand US pressure
> We dont have the MIC/production capability of current Russia
> We do not have a BelaRus, North Korea or Iran to back us, Israel can help a bit but they have issues going
> We dont have major "Indo-philic" population in neighboring areas like RUS has pro RUS slavs
> There is a hostile China breathing down upon our neck
> We dont have the numbers to successively hold back a CCP intrusion when we are dealing with Pakistan
> Yes, Economy/Pensions/Doles/Poverty is also a thing
Any government will have to take into account all these things when deciding.
Pakistan will continue to be a pain for the conceivable future.....unless US/EU/CHINA get in a super gang bang & are in no position to bully us.
