[Kingslayerr]

Yemen Crisis and our refusal to be a part of it.

Hain that happend in nawaz era but still every thing was going well and good except last year when things went down in real time, that i guess is related to some other issue.

[_NOBODY_]

Btw what caused this bad blood between pak-saudi relations?

Refusal to join Yemen war and getting closer to Turkey.

 

[jupiter2007]

Are u saying SmQ acted upon his own? Without PMIk approval...then why SMQ on his position until now ?

PTI is tribal, there are different groups and each group has it’s supporters. IK can’t just kick him out.

Today meeting

Everything is related to that Event in one way or another. By leaving gulfies with their pants down with our refusal to be help them we had changed the status of our relationship with them. Even though before Yemen crisis in their eyes even when Pakistan did not offer them any economic advantage it provided a security cushion. Now that age has passed they look at India in Economic terms now India buys 130 Billion Dollars worth of Oil every year and a major chunk of it comes from gulf we on the other hand due to our smaller economy can never match it. This is the reason they now don't give open statements against India anymore.

Our Geopolitics in terms of our Regional power play has failed miserably we refused to be a part of Yemen war because of Iran. We expected at the time that Iran will improve its relationship with us and look at what we have gotten in return Kulbushan, Chahabar Insurgency in Baluchistan and with the recent policy statement coming from Tehran in regard to Afghanistan just show us our interests in Afghanistan and Central Asia are destined to clash.

Another reason specifically related to deterioration in the relationships after MBS visit could be the fact MBS gave his personal plane to IK for his visit to UN General Assembly and IK there started praising Erdogan a Regional rival of KSA. And our little attempt to make an Alliance between Turkey Pakistan and Malayasia. One thing in this day and Age is clear to Pakistans Establishment that Political power without Economic and military power is Sterile. Take out any one of the three and the other two become worthless. Thats why we are seeing policy centered on Geoeconomics rather than geopolitics that why you are seeing increased interest in Central Asia and Russia.

Both SMQ and IK were almost banned in GCC.... it was Bajwa who pacified gulfies during past year, at the time around when Saudis were going to withdraw 1$billion, which they are keeping in state bank of Pakistan, if that have had happened, that would have lead to collapse of IK kingdoom.
In upcoming trip of IK, you will see an Imran Khan with updated software.
Bilal Akbar is made ambassador recently, that is part of confidence building measures.

P!g and propaganda did anyone read this book ??

 

[TNT]

Utter nonsense speculations by people here. Why the hell would Pakistan try to cool things and normalize things? We threw those 2 billion dollars on their face. Its them that acted like loyal servants of hindus and jews, hijacking OIC, delaying tactics for any resolution on kashmir. At the same time they want our military help. It is them who should be normalizing relations with us and its them who should win our trust.

 

[Abid123]

Everyone seems to know the inside track, but evidence is there for all to see in the open.

With Trump gone and West slowly turning against Saudis, MBS realised he is suddenly short of friends, hence the kind words to Iran and now backing off Pakistan. People are giving too much credit to FOs words or Bajwas influence. Game is being played out for world to see.

Refusal to recognize Israel bro.....

Work hard like everyone else? Not an option.

 

[Zarvan]

USA and Saudi relationship are going to turn bad. We can provide things which USA will never. And no I am not talking about nukes. So we can utilize our this opportunity.

 

[Reichmarshal]

Wt SMQ said was the states policy, he was simply being the messengers.
When the Saudis demanded their billion back, the chinese stepped in n deposited a billion in the state bank. We returned the saudis their billion n showed them the birdy.
The emiratis learned their lesson from the above n other than making a few noises simply rolled over their deposit for a year.
Times have changed n alliances have changed, our alliance is the new game changer.

This visit n IK visit later is happening on the express request of the saudis.
