    Khan got couped by the US for leaning toward non-alignment and trade with Russia. Will the US sponsored coup regime get couped themselves for a weapons deal with China?

          You might want to read this article. Sadly, some of the more crucial points are missing, which are on the r/pakistan subreddit. I’ll add them below if I can find them.

            I don’t see anything in there which points to Khan being fascist. I agree that he’s no saint, but was a whole lot better than the US-backed military regimes Pakistan has now and has often had going all the way back to independence.

            Taking control of the countries’ institutions and making trade deals that benefit the people of the countries involved rather than western capitalists is the first step towards national liberation, and that’s what I understand Khan tried to do, even if he was at times hamfisted about it. That’s also why he ended up getting couped and now faces trumped up charges.
