Army also wasn't happy that he turned off the american spigot by causing an issue with no bases in Pakistan. The army is getting blown up left and right. They have lost 97 soldiers by army's own estimates in the last three months.
The army wanted the money to house US troops and drones while in a tit-for-tat, they would take out TTP in Afghanistan. Bajwa himself said in parliamentary briefings that Taliban/TTP are the same so why would he give a **** if taliban are also taken out as collateral or in direct hits?
Erdogan has committed blunders in his nearly two decade rule but he adapts to new situations and even is mending fences with Egypt, UAE and Saudia Arabia for investment and export deals so he wouldn't have to go to IMF. He did give out loans like candy like Nawaz Sharif took loans to fund CPEC but Erdogan also increased Turkish exports to the GCC region. In fact, the turkish army is perhaps even more coup loving than the Pakistani army but the reason that he wasn't taken out was because the turkish public supported him for his economic successes.
Imran groupies would cite jadoo, amreeka, biden, israeli whatnot but can never tell me why Imran couldn't use his charm to win over Chinese investors in 2017?
A lot of Chinese business was moved to Vietnam when Trump did the trade embargo against China. Why could it not come to Pakistan?
All PTI has to show for it is that they increased shifts for clothing orders in some factories in Faisalabad. Pakistan is more than Faisalabad!
