Genesis of Problems of Pakistan
1. Weak Resource Base : For starters we have to realize that Pakistan, has very narrow resource base. We have no natural resource or physical resource to tap into. As a result, we seek foreign aid, foreign loans etc. in order to maintain our army and expenditure. Foreign loans and Foreign aid, allow other countries to manipulate our internal affairs.
2. Nuclear Program : Pakistan nuclear program, makes it an international pariah. Israel, India, US all want to dismantle our nuclear problem. They are creating inflation, law order and other problems, just to make life difficult for Pakistanis. There plan is to dismember Pakistan. Create four or five countries out of our existing country. This would lead to even more poverty and weakening of our defense capabilities. In the end, we would give them the nuclear program on "plate". We have full blown insurgency in baluchistan, TTP is active in KPK. We have to realize that, we cannot fight with US, Israel and India.
Solution : We should either dismantle our nuclear program or enhance ties with China. China is our only hope. However, I would suggest that Pakistan let go off nuclear option. Eventually, we will have to "forfeit" nuclear option. Our very integrity is at stake. What should we do? We have no option.
Pakistan is mired in a lot of problems. The problem is that in a unilateral world, you have to align yourself with the super power. Unfortunately, we are not on the side of US and we are suffering, big time.
