No green lights given = Red light.
Red light = government isn’t giving military the permission to retaliate against US.
I think you have some serious analysis problems.
Sooner or later the military will ignore these orders, and will go ahead & do what is right. The current government will then give the Green signal just to show that they are in control, regardless of the fact that they do not have full control over the military. Quite similar to how Nawaz Sharif took the credit for the nukes, regardless of the fact that the military would’ve tested the nukes even if NS ordered not to.
