So do you believe that becoming part of that alliance with full commitment was in the best interest of Pakistan, even if it meant sending troops in to Yemen?
The Iranian role in flaming sectarian tensions in the Middle-east and wider region is not hidden from anyone and whoever denies is being plain dishonest, but do you not believe that Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries themselves have also fed the flames of sectarianism?
Keeping this in mind, do you still believe that Pakistan should commit itself to fully siding with Saudi Arabia and other countries even when we hear nothing from them issues such that are sensitive to us? Both Iran and Saudi Arabia are pretty close to India, do you truly believe that siding with one nation over the other would give us enough influence to make them rethink their policies with India?
As for what influence we already have, I know as much as I need to I think. My father is also ex services and was in a Middle Eastern nation for over 10 years. We are providing services as individuals and not in a position to influence their decisions. For example, when UAE little man syndrome minister was "threatening" Pakistan, how many Pakistanis were serving in his government's military and intelligence branches and which of them resigned and left?
I don't actually mean to hurt anyone, I want my countrymen to think for themselves about the narrative they have been fed for generations and how true it is in the real world.
I personally know many people who read this forum but don't post, a lot of my posts are also directed at these nameless readers and not just those who post here.
It's in the title.
