Q: Qazi IK has a very good chance of winning the next election but the strong anti-American stance that he is taking is foolish. What do you think about that?
A: Needs a sitting. Multiple facets. Plus we are not privy to any of the real variables that go into such decision matrices. Briefly: Yes – no one can expect to remain comfortable after rubbing the Hagemon (US) the wrong way. However, IK was not specifically against US-he just wanted to remain non-aligned. And this deviance from the accepted, paid for & established norm (ISI/Army/US Gath jor) was being threatened by IK to the perils of old and new US designs (good or bad besides the point because we don’t know). This is even more important especially during the times when West is fighting tooth and nail for its ideals. It’s not Russia-Ukraine; it’s Asiatic vs. Atlantis’s (i.e. Western ideals of nations with Atlantic shores). This uprising against the “Liberal Order” is long due & if not curbed now, can go out of hand. As you probably can see. So, hope that touches upon IK and his choices. Again we are not privy to vital info, therefore this remains nothing more than an opinion.
Simply put, a State gains it’s strength from its people. IK’s popularity is about to reach a critical mass IMO if left unchecked. So, he will be taken out (page from the good old textbook). But guess what…NO. Things have gotten very pervious these days. Chose a bomb & you risk throwing the jubilant population into anger. If you don’t then IK got you. Plus it’s the top 2-3 % maybe who have real interests abroad-rest gain if Pakistan State gains. So, Yup – completely baffled- in all honesty – Gimmicks Gimmicks Gimmicks. Unless US starts a hot war on Russian eastern front, this whole comedy is nonsensical to me. I even did the Math on Zia/USSR timing 
– lol.
As a side note – IK was was barely juggling domestic economy in a culture of corruption. And with Russia deciding to war with her neighbors IK came across the worst of the choices any PM wants to have-deciding contrary to the wishes of the Hagemon (US). He has as of today taken up with ALL of them & put all his eggs in the basket of the awam. I still think our population loves America & Army loves it even more, they gain all sorts of strength.
It’s an evolving situation. If PML is allowed street violence then very likely we have a civil war at our hands.
If IK goes down then the whole cause goes with him.
Very unstable situation.
