JD Vance’s Sudden Return: A Psychological and Historical RealityThe Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, abruptly cut short his visit to Pakistan. His expected stay was around 48 hours, but he left in haste. Before judging whether the negotiations were a success or failure, it is important to understand a few key facts so the full picture becomes clear.First, consider a simple example: a Station House Officer (SHO), a relatively low-ranking officer (Grade-14), when he retires, takes at least two years to readjust to normal life. Many retired bureaucrats lose mental balance during this period or even pass away. Why? Because of their state of mind. For forty years, they lived in an environment of “Yes sir, right sir, as you say sir.” The word “no” did not exist in their vocabulary. When they suddenly start hearing “no,” both their mind and body fail to cope.The second example is even more interesting. In the film Mughal-e-Azam, the character of Prince Salim was played by Dilip Kumar. The shooting lasted nearly two years. After the film ended, Dilip Kumar himself admitted, “I began to feel as if I truly was Prince Salim.” To come out of this illusion, he had to visit a psychologist repeatedly.Now, look at this same psychology on a larger scale.The United States—a country that has devastated many nations, targeted not thousands but millions of people with warfare. The entire world rarely ever said “no” to it. If it called night “day,” the world accepted it; if it called day “night,” heads still bowed. A country that spoke more through weapons than words, that issued commands instead of negotiating, that always remained at the peak, that saw itself as a superpower, and did not hesitate even to abduct heads of state—its state of mind was very much like that of the retired SHO or Dilip Kumar’s “Prince Salim.”And then suddenly, this happened: That country sat at the negotiation table, Listened to the demands of others, Heard “no,” And even accepted some demands.This is something the United States experienced for the first time.So is this not a victory for Pakistan and Iran? In fact, it is a historic victory.Pakistan has emerged successful. We should be grateful to Allah for granting us honor.Abandon despair and hopelessness—much is about to change.Give the United States some time. Coming out of that “prince-like” mindset is not easy. Just as it was difficult for Dilip Kumar, the United States is currently feeling the same way—that it is still the same dominant power. But when four or five more countries say “no” to it, it will begin to realize that it is no longer the same America.Even now, the Prime Minister of Canada has refused to pay “tribute.” Pakistan’s army has reached Saudi Arabia—this too was unexpected for the United State.
