INDIA INCREASINGLY WARY OF RISING RUSSIA-PAKISTAN TIES

[Divergent]

It's none of India's concern. They should remain neutral and civil with Russia, this whole nonesense of 'I'm not your friend because you're their friend' is immature.

Kabulov's statement has put an end to daydreaming prevalent among many Pakistani members on this forum.

That statement made clear that Pakistan is 100 times less important to Russia than India.

Pakistan is totally irrelevant country, the only country that matters is India hehe happy

Its only when other countries looking for partnership of strength they come to Pakistan otherwise they open arms shops for India to give them some self confidence and scurity

We are well aware of Iran recruiting Shias from Pakistan to fight their war in Syria and we are aware of KSA using Deobandi/Salafis from Pakistan to fight their proxy wars against Assad regime.
So far state has no role in supporting a side in Syrian mayhem.

All correct but when did KSA recruited Deobandi/salafists from Pakistan to fight in Syria? any proof ?? I never read or heard about it.

Russia has a financially lucrative relationship with India, much more than what Pakistan can currently offer.

The Pakistani Taliban have expressed their support for Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria and Iraq.

In a statement marking the Muslim festival of Eid, the group appealed to Islamists there to unite against the "enemy" - the US-led alliance.

IS has taken over large parts of Syria and Iraq, but has also been battling al-Qaeda-linked rival militant groups.

The Pakistani Taliban has been waging its own insurgency against the Islamabad government since 1997.

'Forget rivalries'
Saturday's statement was issued by the leader of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Maulana Fazlullah, sent by his spokesman.

Addressing IS in Syria and Iraq, he said: "We are proud of your conquests against the enemies. We are with you in good and bad times."

"In these troubled days, we call on you to be patient and stay united as your enemies are now united against you. Forget rivalries."

The statement said the global Muslim community would "stand by you in these tough times and help with what we can".

The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil in Islamabad says there has been little evidence so far of an agreement between IS and the Pakistani Taliban.

But recently, our correspondent adds, supporters of IS have been spotted in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar distributing pamphlets praising the group.

IS's swift offensives in Iraq since June have prompted the US and its allies to carry out air strikes to halt the group's advance.

On Saturday, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Shia militiamen drove IS fighters from a strategically important bridge near the northern city of Kirkuk.

In Syria, IS has been advancing on the town of Kobane, on the Turkish border, which has become a key battleground between the militants and its opponents, who include Kurdish fighters as well.

More than 160,000 Syrians, mainly Kurds, have fled across the border since IS launched its offensive on Kobane last month.

More than 190,000 people have been killed in more than three years of conflict in Syria.

Russians presumed that their old business partner Indians are hostile, That's why they are using Indirect Approach with SPIKE protocol similar to breaking bad news for digest them easily. Hopefully, they will get out of their fantasy land soon.

Russian ties will be real game changer Sir. The impact they would have internationally is not the impact which our relationship with China or Turkey creates. Although we still get more defence equipment from Turkey and China and it may increase in future but relationship with Russia is equally important and game changer in the world.

In the long term I disagree. Especially considering what China is going to become in the next few years/decades.
