Pakistan will soon fade into irrelevance as it continues to be consumed by its internal wars. There is no saving it - even if the Americans and the Chinese pump 100 billion into them, they will spend it on DHA and other crap and use it to buy property in West to move out. Arabs are pretty much either neutral or on our side against jihadis as they themselves are liberalizing. Iran is on the verge of a regime change (induced internally rather than externally).
That leaves Turkey as the only serious Islamic threat to us in the coming years. What's more, they will use their NATO immunity similar to the model that Justinder Castro's boyfriend Huggmeet uses Kaneddistan's position in G7 and 5Is. American deep state hates the Turks but if it means needling us, they will happily back them in the coming years.
Turkey also has an advanced arms industry and has used the cover of arms smuggling to provide equipment to Pakistani jihadists as they were uncovered in Kashmir. They have this access due to this NATO technical collaboration with different European partners who possess advanced military technology.
They may not start a direct military confrontation with us, but nothing should be ruled out when dealing with this new Islamist regime. Projecting their own Islamization onto Hindutva or Dharmic nationalism is the often-joked characteristic of "sem2sem" that we mock Pakistanis for.
We need to be prepared for a situation where we might need to arm the Cypriots and the Greeks more (NATO is a fair-weather friend even for the Greeks and they know it) to a point where they can make Turkey's nightmares come true.
