Khan is definitely not an American puppet, but I don't think the Biden administration has any grip on Pakistan at this time compared to before. In that region, Biden surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban, but they also effectively surrendered Pakistan to China some time ago. Pakistan is much more aligned with the BRICS, although they will gladly entertain the US for funding/weapons without delivering anything.

That said, if one is suspicious of American technology being weaponized for foreign policy, then Poland will be the place to watch next year. The Biden administration has every clearly told Poland they want a regime change. The EU is also on board.

US has plenty of power to enact regime change, ie destabilize entire countries and/or regions. What the US manifestly lacks is power to bring up a decent replacement regime to provide order around a set of resonant moral values. And so chaos slowly engulfs the world as the sun sets over the American Empire. Chaos age, until the next Empire.
