You will have problems if you start supplying weapons. You will become outcasts, just like the Russians today. And it will be a life sentence. Respect and mutual cooperation will disappear. Don't repeat Russia's mistakes
Pakistan Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

That is a dangerous assumption. The Western media is powerful. The New York Times will do things like splash a giant picture of a dead Ukrainian family on the front page. They will whip people into a frenzy against Russia...and anyone else. The media could persuade them they are part of the fight against evil and need to tolerate high inflation for years. There is good reason we are afraid to extend major aid to Russia. We are the second most powerful country on earth but we are a distant second. And the hegemon has a huge alliance system that totals 60% of world GDP. We must be realistic about our relative strength, patiently build up our strength, and then surprise people when the time is right.
... which Tom Clancy novel did you steal this from?
Wait... so in this movie, this missile is fired by a rogue group of soldiers and is meant to strike a target important enough to start a war and yet it had no warhead? And the Indians (knowing all of this) informed Pakistan that this happened during the flight time of the missile, and yet weren't able to stop the launch in the first place?! And all this time, we could've shot the missile down, but we didn't, because we trusted the Indians when they said their missile has no warhead ?!!!
Wow.... now that's a good movie. When is it coming out??

Expensive Chinese consumer drones should be blocked from being shipped to Europe to help Russia. I think it is a separate subject. Pakistan should not ignore China's security interest in Russia not losing the war and assist China by working out a fair deal for Pakistan in exchange for halting any export artillery ammunition, which is the main type of firepower used to kill Russian troops.
Russia supplies to both Pakistan and India. I don't see a problem here. Now, if we start doing ally of ally thing then the whole world becomes allied quickly. It doesnt work like that.
There's no way to guard against every possible hypo. If you tried that then nothing can get done. However, the hypo I am giving of a worst case scenario in which Russia collapses in 2024 after being weakened by a prolonged war and then China is surrounded by the Quad and hostile Russia is different from random hypos because the sequence of events is well underway. This doesn't mean the hypo is going to happen but it is more real at this point than a random thought experiment.
Russia has lost a lot of men. If the fighting continues for another 1-2 years and hundreds of thousands of Russian troops are killed then the Russian state may well end up collapsing. The US/UK/Poland have demonstrated they will keep on supplying more advanced weapons to Ukraine every time Russia manages to gain ground and momentum (e.g. announcement this week by UK of sending Challenger tanks and a few Apaches after most recent Russian victory). So when the sequence of events leading to a hypo is actively in play then everyone had better be paying attention and do everything within grasp to stop it from happening. Anything less is burying one's head in the sand.
