I beg to differ. For starters, both Ayub and Mush had NO support of the populace. IK is revered like a king among quite a large chunk of the population.interpretation of this statement downfall of IK has initiated ..... 3-5 years max
Ayub and Mush needed the US to stay relevant. IK has huge public support and it'll be unwise to underestimate that.
It'll be naive to compare to vastly different eras. Infact the times and Pakistan of Ayub Khan was so starkly different that it almost seems like that was 200y ago when infact it was 60odd y back. Mush was a military dictator to begin with plus he was a secular and that alienated him from the very soul of Pakistani public by his 'enlightened moderation' bullcrap. IK has rather uncannily, carefully metamorphosed from a rockstar playboy to a beads weilding deeply religious type leader.
Every man has a weakness and IK's weakness is that he can be coerced into doing things by mere flattery. Despite his megastar image the guy still falls for people who butter him up. Much like Trump. The US being the cunning superpower it is, is employing the same strategy to make him do what they want him to do. It remains to be seen to what extent will they succeed
