Your entire post is basically rhetoric without facts and figures.
Plmn was the one constantly picking up fights and insulting Pak Army throughout their tenure. Army showed great restrain. Besides that's not the point, their whole understanding and basic economic policy was flawed (compromising macroeconomics for political gains). It was nothing more than a stage show, everything collapses as soon as the lights turn off (that is exactly what happened). This is not an isolated case specific to their last tenure, it's the same for all their tenures. Their economic policy is based on politics.
Your assumption about foreign debt is incorrect. During the last 2 years of plmn if you take an aggregate for net increase in foreign debt + variation in foreign reserves and factor in the interest payments (not principal as it basically gets rolled over), the sum is higher in Plmn 2 years than in the first 2 years of pti.
Figures for FY 2021 are very good.
My post was as it was because it was directed at and meant particularly for a legendary youthia and not for general consumption.
I don't think PML was picking up fights with the Army, and how can a boss pick a fight with his subservient? You have no idea how much the Military has hurt Pakistan's interests internationally just because of their narrow vision and love for the property that Pakistan has become. Dawn leaks is 1 prime example, Military is the reason we landed in the FATF Grey listing and we have been struggling ever since to climb out of it.
You speak of an economic policy which was being praised by the World Bank, IMF and all neutral global economic activity monitors such as Fitch and Moody etc., the entire premise that it was a stage show is based on an opposite school of thought based on hypothetical scenarios; the doom and gloom that is Pakistan's fate today too is a gift of the Military to the nation......oh and as for your insinuation that the entire base was a farce, let me explain by the explanation of a saying (I don't recall the saying exactly), no point in leaving a fortune for a sensible child as he/she will earn for himself/herself and grow successful and no need to earn for a useless child as he will squander away the wealth anyway.......we currently have a case of the latter, having given the country to senseless fools, we were meant to be led in this doom.
And your assumption about the foreign debt piled on by PTI being in any way lower than PML is also severely flawed, first because comparing strictly just the amount of debt added, PTI has added more in 2 years than PML did in 5 years. You want to bring in compounding interest for which we both will need to drill down to all the terms of the debt acquired by PML and PTI and the nitty grities, however the other critical fact to consider is that a larger economy can sustains larger debt because % of economy wise the debt ratio remains the same; Rs. 50 debt in a Rs. 100 economy is the same as Rs. 500 debt in a Rs. 1000 economy and is sustainable......what is NOT sustainable is growing debt in a shrinking economy, which is the case of the last 2 years!
