The situation may appear grim, but not everything is lost, yet. No matter what the boomers sitting in the GHQ may think, it's simply not possible for the establishment to come out on top in this "two-front-war" they have declared against the youth residing within the country, and those in the diaspora overseas.
It's a rude wake-up call for the People of Pakistan who had been living under the false impression that the Military/Establishment always prioritizes the country's interests. After the initial shock and disbelief, there will be a phase of reckoning and realignment that most likely will greatly deviate from the expectations of those responsible for the present decisions. As this process unfolds, IK and Asim might not be around anymore, but their legacies will be remembered for a very long time.
There is still a possibility that, in the long term, all these challenges could actually work out in Pakistan's favor. It's a race against time, and it is really important to overcome these challenges before reaching an irrevocable breaking point.
