LQQKS like not in our lifetime.
I might be wrong but I don't think what is been done is sustainable and it will fall apart because of its own weight and follies.
In the last eight months, I have gone through some 1+ dozen national and foreign analyses/commentaries for looking for the rationale of RCO by bajwa, from strategy, military or foreign policy analyst of various interests - (excluding journalistic cronies' writings whose the prime concern is often the personality of IK)): There seems almost a consensus that it is harmful in the short or long run for the country pushing it backward for decades, but everyone seems to wonder that why Bajwa or military or core commanders have taken this drastic action. Wrong or right, good or bad, there simply seems no reason for taking this action, even there are no justifiable political reason as well. (Of course these strategy analyst cannot see through financial vested interests of the parties involved.)
The statements from (un)official sources from US are a bit strange and apologetic as well.
They seem shifting the whole blame on the relevant state department's regional office acting without a go ahead from foreign relation committee (FRC or Biden) and especially emphasizing that the relevant department (bcsaa) had acted alone under a India-centric policy which US no longer adhere to, and the Indian and Pakistani lobbies inside and outside the regional office had long pressurized for IK's removal, and also that bajwa, however, had overreacted and rather his main impulse was institutional than by US demands.
That is kind of acceptance and denial at the same time (of course, this does not seem right because a regional director on his own won't make such policy or direct ambassador or host visitors in his office). Similarly a few months back FP has shifted blame to the frustration in pentagon with IK who acted over zealously; there might be a partial truth to it, because bajwa wont act without approval from pentagon. These are the general themes to thwart RCO allegations. There were some pieces/comments in FP (the Foreign Policy web) about pentagon's disapproval of Ik before RCO as well. Other thinktanks also have given such feelers, shifting blames on others than on frc.
The point of such unofficial statements appears to be that the US no more adhere to consequences of bajwa's action unlike the initial days when they had kind of welcomed his actions and promised to help the new setup. Now the message seem to cut the damage, and
