What is the purpose of the Pakistan's Defense Pact with Saudia Arabia?

Chinese leaders have lavish lifestyles and bank accounts outside the country?

My point was that regardless of their own lifestyle, their main objective is prosperity of their country.

What mistakes has he admitted to ? I've noticed he always speaks in riddles and metaphors when he speaks about the establishment. The day he speaks in a clear & explicit manner on what the path forward should be .. is when he should be taken seriously.

Regarding establishment, Imran Khan has given statements openly plenty of times, for example, From Adiala Jail he urged Pakistanis to read the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report to understand accountability for military rule, and he has also directly criticized the role of the establishment under Asim Munir.

Secondly, Imran Khan has repeatedly admitted mistakes like trusting the establishment in the beginning and giving them too much space in politics. He has said openly that the biggest lesson of his tenure was that civilian governments must be independent. The fact that he is now openly challenging the same system shows he learned from those mistakes.

I maybe wrong, but I don't think there is any possibility of IK trusting establishment again after what he has went through in past 6 years.

All of this aside, from what I have observed, the military regime won't release him and neither Imran Khan wants to get released through any military deal as he is strongly firm by his stance.

I am so glad India kept the aa guns and the laser and ew anti drone weapons. For low cost neutralization of the drone swarm during op Sindoor...the fact there are zero visuals or satellite images of any successful hit on Indian military installarion shows how successful we were in neutralizing a almost peer enemy
..this allowed the s400 to neutralize the PAF jets and shoot them down. The game will be harder if Pak uses cruise or ballastic.missiles next time...but looks like during op Sindoor their missiles were not ready . As a result they have a new rocket force. Issue with Pakistan is that it's geographic depth is small..so they will get some hits but when India responds they have nowhere to hide.

just like how you said pak lost 6 jets, then when your daft iaf chief minister stated pak lost 5 jets you stated this - then you stated pak actually lost 3 jets = you havent hsowed any proof, = you keep writing nonsense

Do you doubt it?

Chinese leaders are as corrupt and nepotistic as any others. It's now become almost impossible to get ahead in the CCP unless your dad has the ability to back you - Bo Xilai, Li Xiaopeng even Xi himself.

About as much chance of that being true as there is of a hindutva poster replying in the thread about RSS ideologue Savarkar.

A great cooperation. This will help us achieve an economic turnaround.

We will obviously pay them interest for this.

Pakistan avoiding active military role in Gulf riles Saudi Arabia

Pakistan is avoiding military involvement in the Gulf crisis. Despite a defense pact with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan's army chief cited engagement in Afghanistan. Pakistan offered mediation instead. Saudi Arabia's crown prince is reportedly unhappy with this decision. Pakistan has recently...

That defense pact is gonna be a bone stuck in the throat type thing for Pakistan... Pakistan has nowhere to go with Saudi wants Pakistan to get involved.... They should be careful

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I doubt Saudi has got involved in Pakistan's war with the Taliban either. I can't imagine this sort of pact would be activated unless conflict has reached a critical stage, and Saudis have not responded militarily yet.

That's true. It does surprise me that Iran is willing to accept mediation from Pakistan though. Pakistan is clearly on Saudi Arabia's side and would probably look to exert pressure to support their partners.

I would've thought they would insist on someone like China or Russia or if the US is not willing to accept that, maybe the Scandinivian countries who have a reputation as fair mediators.

Has it been confirmed that Iran has accepted mediation from Pakistan, or is this just more bluff coming out of Trump's office?

Haven't seen the fire yet but there's definitely a lot of smoke.

- Shehbaz's Tweet on 'standing ready to host talks' didn't come out of thin air
- Trump retweeting it out of nowhere
- News outlets talking about Iran's preference for certain negotiators

Under normal circumstances, Pakistan would be a decent choice to play mediator - an Islamic State (even if Sunni) and yet in US good books. The military alliance does complicate matters though. There is a lot of mistrust between Iran and Saudi Arabia and it would be difficult for Iran to believe Pakistan as playing a fair mediator.

The smoke is all coming from Trump's office and Pakistan....which is also by extension, Trump's office.

Until I see some genuine links from Iran confirming I will put a pin in that one.
