Ever since Independence from Britain, Pakistan has lurched from coup to coup with intermittent periods of democracy. The current Nawaz Sharif government is one such period of civilian rule, with the military managing defense & foreign affairs.
Pakistan's deep state is a unique cocktail of atomic weapons, terror as an instrument of state policy & Punjabi dominance.
A stable, prospering Pakistan is not only critical to South Asia, but also, to the world.

Avoid portraying & viewing Pakistan as a (US) ally
Hudson Institute
The Hudson Institute recommends that Pakistan not be designated a state sponsor of terrorism.
Yet.
Pakistan must be to make it more & more costly for Pakistani leaders to employ
a strategy of supporting terrorist proxies to achieve regional strategic goals.
The Hudson Institute
There should be no ambiguity that the U.S. considers Pakistan’s strategy of supporting terrorist proxies to achieve regional strategic advantage as a threat to U.S. interests.
U.S. policy must also pay attention to non-proliferation goals while dealing with Pakistan.

The Trump Administration should be clear that the U.S. issue is
not with the Pakistani people or the Pakistani nation.
Hudson Institute
Rather, Washington takes strong exception to specific policy choices by parts of the Pakistan Government – chiefly, the military and intelligence apparatus centered in Rawalpindi, adjacent to the capital, Islamabad – that support the existence and activities of terrorist proxies.
