Alh This Ramadan, huge strides have been made, The Yemen conflict is very much under control, and is very close to it's objective.
Unfortunately, Pakistan missed the boat. A boat that was loaded with US$15bn+ per annum, for the next five yrs min,
because it is a majority held hostage, by a minority.
While a key figure in this saga rakes in millions of US$, the country looks at the US$ shoots through the roof, and the economy in a downward spiral. It is forced to deal with the devil himself, for a measly US$6bn.
After the latest Ormara & Gawadar PC Attacks, Now would be a good time to wake up, and smell the coffee.
Best Regards
Yaar baat soun, I have no sympathy with Iranian regime neither for Houthis. I am also not a fan of Hezbollah and the likes (don't ask, long story).
Issue is that Pakistan is fighting its own war on its own. Now i can take this post towards any direction, but lets keep it simple. For money, Pakistan should go to Yemen ? Yar, Afghanistan is in next to us. If Pakistan wanted to make money through "launching a war in a foreign land" and get massive $$$ in return, then Pakistan could have attacked Talis, shoulder to shoulder with USA. There would have been no blockage of CSF, US aid, infact more F-16's would have come, and AH-1Z would have entered service by now. Even launching a war inside Afghanistan is not easy, ask Americans. So much for forming a coalition thousands of miles away in Yemen. All military ammunition and equipment is to fight a war against India, all internal security forces combined with specialized forces are to fight a war against insurgency in Pakistan.
Mujhe batayo, Pakistan pehle konsa siyapa poori tarah niptaye ?
TTP, BLA, BRA and similar outfits creating mayhem inside Pakistan?
RAW conducting another hybrid war inside and along borders of Pakistan?
LOC heating up every week ?
Protecting CPEC ? Another division is being raised for that.
Cross border fire and threat of incursion from Afghanistan ?
Cross border movement from Iran ?
Correct that Iran has damaged Pakistan, a lot and its an evolving process, but is Iran the only threat to Pakistan? India and Afghanistan want to see Pakistan in bits and pieces too. Pakistan's arch rival is India, not Iran. Should the problem be cut from its root or should Pakistan keep pruning the branches ? Root cause in Pakistan's case is India, not Iran. India doesn't have many enemies, Iran has many. who is at loss here ? Iran. It is easier to shift Iran's focus towards something else like Syria, Yemen or gulf or towards USA or Israel. Its much harder to shift India's focus away from Pakistan and then China.
CPEC's position is very strategic. Pakistan cannot afford a war against IRGC or other Irani military forces where Irani forces enter Baluchistan. Chinese is involved in the region too. Iran and India will try their best to de-stabilize the Baluchistan so Iranian port, Chabahar, flourishes. This means that Pakistan cannot afford a proxy war with Iran, cannot afford an open war with Iran and cannot afford to let Baluchistan burn. Pakistan is in a tight spot. Chinese have stakes in the region. For 15 Billion USD/year, Pakistan risked losing CPEC project completely apart from other risks that i have been mentioning in other posts.
You know better than me that Saudi and Emirati armies have made gains in their war against Youthis. World seems to see this war from a different point of view, some developed nations don't even want to hand over weapons to Saudis seeing the destruction caused in Yemen, while others want Irani backed militants contained and evicted from Yemen.
Then there are many shia members on this forums, even in mods and senior ranks. When the topic of religion comes, everybody becomes unacquainted with words like "tolerance", "civilized debate" etc. Don't keep your hopes high, you will see an average person's mentality here, no matter how many degrees have been bagged or whichever multinational top-of-the-line industry they are working in. Don't burn your blood. The intellect that you hoped for, vanishes, when faith is threatened.
In the end, Allah jo karta hay, behtar karta hay and leave it to that.
