Russian intelligence chief in Pakistan to garner support

[Meengla]

pakistan in syria and then they talked abt cpec. CPEC is believable but syria?

Yes, really, what's this bogus OP article is about? Russia asking Pakistan's help to send troops to Syria to crush Daesh/ISIS and that action by Pakistan is provoking Israel to issue a nuclear warning to Pakistan? And pro Saudi elements in Pakistan leaking the earlier Russian visit to Pakistan? And Russia trying to cut some Chinese benefits in CPEC? And Russia dying to get access to 'warm water port' of Gwadar?

All speculations and even bogus.

IF the Russian Intelligence Chief were to visit to Pakistan then it doesn't have to be a particularly secret visit! Higher level Russian officials have been visiting Pakistan.

PS. And, no, Pakistan will NEVER send troops to Syria for either side. Pakistan, per my understanding, has been asking for non-interference there and still quietly recognizes the govt of Assad. If Pakistan has to play a role then it would be because KSA, Iran and Turkey can reasonably trust Pakistani mediation--and that's all.

Just curious, what is wrong with Saudi Arab and Russia apart from American angle.

Saudis are one of the main sources of support with respect to ISIS. Moreover, Bandar wanted Putin in 2013 to drop Syrian support and threatened Russia with an Oil war, which, actually backfired on the Saudis as they are now in debt and borrowing money. Saudis have also supported the mullah problem in Pakistan as well.
