Nah mate, we have done enough for this country. Look at our area in Potohar our graveyards are full of martyrs. There was no industry there, so people had no other option but to join the army. We have given our blood.
And just look at the money: Pakistanis living abroad send well over $29 billion every single year. That is actually more than what Pakistan earns from its entire export industry.
We sacrifice our lives and our memories. We cannot attend the funerals of our loved ones or share in their happiness, all just to send money back home to feed the country and keep the foreign reserves strong.
So don't tell me that we do not serve our country. We feel the pain even more when we are away. We live as Pakistanis every single day.

According to the latest news, Israel has installed its Iron Dome air defense system in the United Arab Emirates. With this development, Israeli military forces have now been formally deployed in the United Arab Emirates.
The Middle East and Indo-Pak region has long been a theaters of peace killing games and intricate political dynamics. As recent tensions escalate in the Middle East, Pakistan is stepping carefully on the diplomatic stage. Meanwhile, the defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia has begun to add new colors to the geopolitical landscape in the region. The recent deployment of Pakistani F-16 aircraft and military troops in Saudi Arabia has forced many anti-Pakistan forces to make new plans.
Last year, Saudi airstrikes targeted vessels suspected of transporting weapons to these anti-Saudi groups in Yemen, underscoring Riyadh’s commitment to neutralizing threats from its southern neighbor. After that incident UAE withdrew its remaining forces from Yemen.
Observers suggest that the UAE is not only providing financial resources but is actively involved in equipping these groups with the military capabilities necessary to challenge Saudi interests. This has raised serious questions about UAE’s role in destabilizing a region already fraught with conflict.
The UAE considers the success of Gwadar Port and CPEC as a major threat to its future plans, The UAE’s alleged involvement is seen as an attempt to undermine Pakistan’s strategic initiatives, particularly the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the development of Gwadar Port. Such infrastructure projects are crucial for Pakistan’s economic future and regional connectivity.
Furthermore, there are claims that the UAE has become a safe haven for terrorists fleeing Pakistan, providing them with shelter and resources. This arrangement is reportedly made with the tacit knowledge of Indian intelligence agencies, further complicating the already fraught relations among these nations.
I claim that the consequences of the UAE’s intervention in Yemen, Baluchistan or Afghanistan will not only be serious but also horrific. And the voices of these terrible consequences can echo in the UAE and far away in the region as well.

Meanwhile, the defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia has begun to add new colors to the geopolitical landscape in the region. The recent deployment of Pakistani F-16 aircraft and military troops in Saudi Arabia has forced many anti-Pakistan forces to make new plans.
UAE-SAUDI ARAB CONFLICT
Saudi allegations on UAE have intensified tensions between two of the region’s key players, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Saudi Arabia has publicly accused the UAE of supporting anti-Saudi militants in Yemen, an allegation that adds another layer of complexity to the unfolding crisis in the region.Last year, Saudi airstrikes targeted vessels suspected of transporting weapons to these anti-Saudi groups in Yemen, underscoring Riyadh’s commitment to neutralizing threats from its southern neighbor. After that incident UAE withdrew its remaining forces from Yemen.
Observers suggest that the UAE is not only providing financial resources but is actively involved in equipping these groups with the military capabilities necessary to challenge Saudi interests. This has raised serious questions about UAE’s role in destabilizing a region already fraught with conflict.
UAE ROLE IN PRPMOTING BLA AND ANTI-CPEC ELEMENTS
The tensions do not stop there at Yemen. Reports indicate that the UAE is extending its support to various militant factions in Baluchistan, Pakistan, a region rife with Indian proxy terrorism and other anti-Pakistan movements. These militant groups have been accused of orchestrating terrorist activities.The UAE considers the success of Gwadar Port and CPEC as a major threat to its future plans, The UAE’s alleged involvement is seen as an attempt to undermine Pakistan’s strategic initiatives, particularly the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the development of Gwadar Port. Such infrastructure projects are crucial for Pakistan’s economic future and regional connectivity.
Furthermore, there are claims that the UAE has become a safe haven for terrorists fleeing Pakistan, providing them with shelter and resources. This arrangement is reportedly made with the tacit knowledge of Indian intelligence agencies, further complicating the already fraught relations among these nations.
The fact that the UAE may be harboring militants who threaten Pakistan’s stability is a serious escalation of its regional conduct, raising alarms about potential backlash.
UAE’S SUPPORTS AFGHAN TERRORIST GROUPS
Another dimension of this conflict is the UAE’s support for various militant groups in Afghanistan, where allegations of support for terrorist organizations have surfaced. This ongoing support undermines the fragile peace process in Afghanistan and complicates security dynamics across the region. Qatar’s involvement is also noteworthy, as it has been similarly accused of backing elements that contribute to unrest and insurgency.MASTER OF PROXY MILLITANTS
Critics argue that the actions of UAE – the Smart player of proxied sedition are contributing to a broader pattern of destabilization across the Middle East and South Asia. By providing military bases to the United States in the region, the UAE is seen as deepening its alliances at the expense of regional stability. This has led to a perception of the UAE as a player willing to engage in proxy conflicts that can escalate and create additional security challenges for its neighbors.As the landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how these regional powers will navigate their complex relationships and the potential fallout from their actions in Yemen, Pakistan and beyond. The stakes are high, and the consequences of continued instability could reverberate throughout the entire region.
PAK-SAUDI DEFENCT PACT
According to observers, political isolation and more difficult challenges will emerge for the UAE after the Pak-Saudi defense agreement is activated. Meanwhile, the UAE, which considers obedience to imperialist orders as the key to its success, is heading towards the destruction of its economy and future thanks to its peace-killing policies. However, it remains to be seen how other puppet regional powers like the UAE in the region will manage their complicated relations with their allies and rival countries.I claim that the consequences of the UAE’s intervention in Yemen, Baluchistan or Afghanistan will not only be serious but also horrific. And the voices of these terrible consequences can echo in the UAE and far away in the region as well.

That is exactly the problem. This is why I want the administrator to take away your title. Because you do not represent the community you are an intruder. And you do not value your own people. That was my whole point when I challenged your attitude. And your laughing emoji proved my point.

The money is leverage... they're taking their stake... diaspora is a crutch... baited and used as blackmail. Things that were built with blood and sweat of indentured labor left them with no equity in the enterprise. Which is why you price it right from the beginning... and if they have or had their home with the snakes...
Well let them expose themselves! Pakistan and all the rest of the region will be better off knowing who they're dealing with... instead of snakes with a mask on and burning your prospects... while you overlook their acts and motivations, placate them... if they have now staged zion in UAE... they've forfeited any ties with the rest... they've shown that they're a still occupied... Brits left and they found new masters in zion. That is one more land seeking liberty.
They're hurting for money... seeking reparations from the US and also asked for a currency swap line... because they're running low. The recent trip to China was to get themselves situated with Yuan settlements for being late to the party. They just now realized that US doesn't need them and if they didn't get themselves in concert with the demand, they'll be left behind.
Arabs are only now realizing that they have very little esteem for all the money they have spent to prop themselves and who they purported to assume were their friends in the west... ones who they assumed laughed with them and not at them!
The ramifications and fallout of this war are such that they'll keep on giving for a long time to come. They economy and military they kept propping up in this region is now their competitor in energy markets!

I don't think the UAE is a smart player.
In this war, staying neutral is the best choice. China, Russia, and Pakistan condemn the U.S. and Israel's aggressive war against Iran. Although the UAE has signed many cooperation agreements with China, China will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Islamic world. China will not have unpleasant issues with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or other Middle Eastern countries.
If the U.S. and Israel win, what can the UAE gain? A secondary agent of Israel?
If the U.S. and Israel fail, the UAE will lose a lot.
The investment and return are severely unbalanced.
Currently, Israeli forces have already entered the UAE, and the UAE has already made its choice. This is a gamble, and the UAE has no chance of winning.

Why the UAE asked Pakistan for its $3.5bn back

Saudi Arabia, which signed a mutual defence pact with Islamabad last year, swung to the rescue with $3bn in fresh central bank deposits and the extension of an existing $5bn in deposits for more than a year.Abu Dhabi’s decision reflects its growing frustration with Islamabad, partly because of its deepening ties with Riyadh, but also what it considers Pakistan’s meek response to Iranian attacks on the Gulf after the US and Israel launched their war, analysts say.Neil Quilliam, an associate fellow at Chatham House, said Pakistan’s role as mediator in the US’s war against Iran also annoyed the Gulf state as it “sees things in kind of black and white at the moment”.“There’s no neutrality in this [from the UAE perspective], there’s no middle ground and if you’re mediating then you are in the middle ground,” he said.Underlying this is simmering tensions between Saudi Arabia, which signed a defence pact with Islamabad in September, and the UAE. A rift between the Gulf’s powerhouses burst into the open over disputes in the civil war in Yemen, where they back rival factions, in December and January.The US-Israeli war with Iran papered over those cracks as the Islamic republic has responded by attacking both Gulf states. But analysts say the Saudi-UAE tensions continue to fester, with Riyadh more closely aligned with Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt than its Gulf neighbour.“The rift is still there, and Pakistan is one area it can play out, and the UAE is much more invested in India anyway,” Quilliam said. “They [UAE] see this growing alliance between the Saudis and the Pakistanis, and for the UAE that constitutes a conflict of interests for Abu Dhabi.”Three Pakistani advisers said the UAE had signalled to Islamabad that it wanted it to take a harder line against Iran. The UAE’s foreign ministry did not respond to a request for comment.RecommendedNews in-depthMiddle East warThe military man trying to save US-Iran peace talks“There is frustration [in Abu Dhabi],” said Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, an Emirati academic and commentator. “They [Islamabad] sought to position themselves as a mediator which didn’t go down well.”“However, being upset is one thing, but rethinking the relationship after all this is said and done is something else.”Pakistan’s foreign ministry has described the decision to return the money to the UAE as simply a “routine financial transaction” and denied that it is connected to the war in the Gulf or that there is “any gap” between Islamabad and Abu Dhabi.But privately, officials in Islamabad voiced frustration, the advisers said, albeit with relief at being less beholden to Abu Dhabi, which has forged closer ties with Pakistan’s arch-rival India. “The Saudis obliged our request, which they usually do,” an adviser said. “We could see it coming after their [Riyadh’s] rift with the UAE.”The UAE’s ties with Islamabad date to Abu Dhabi’s independence from the UK in 1971. The first five chiefs of staff of the Emirati air force were Pakistani citizens, while Pakistan’s flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines provided aircraft and training to Emirates Airlines. The UAE in turn provided billions of dollars of financial support to Pakistan and hosts some 1.5mn Pakistani expatriates.Relations became strained in 2015 when Islamabad bowed to public pressure and declined to join the Saudi-led coalition against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The UAE was the Saudis’ main partner in that conflict. A top Emirati diplomat publicly complained at the time that despite “inevitable” economic and financial support from the UAE, “Tehran seems to be more important to Islamabad . . . than the Gulf countries”. Since late last year, Pakistan had been seeking to secure an agreement to roll over at least $2bn of the Emirati loans for two years, but Abu Dhabi rattled Islamabad by moving to monthly extensions in January, according to two people familiar with the matter.The UAE’s decision to seek immediate repayment this month surprised the finance ministry in Islamabad, as well as the IMF, according to people familiar with the matter. Abu Dhabi had promised the fund that it would not seek repayment until the end of Pakistan’s programme in 2027, a precondition for approving the bailout. Mahir Binici, the IMF’s representative in Islamabad, said in a statement that Pakistan had sought to fill the financing shortfall “in co-operation with their bilateral partners and through market access” to meet their “reserve level commitments under the programme”. Pakistan’s finance ministry did not respond to a request for comment.The move also spelled the end of an ambitious Pakistani proposal that Islamabad’s foreign minister said was agreed with Abu Dhabi in December to convert $1bn of debt into investments in a military-linked conglomerate, the Fauji Foundation. Two people familiar with the plan now say it has been axed, and the money earmarked for it has been repaid to the UAE.Some observers, however, warn of the risk of over-reliance on financing from Saudi Arabia, which is now equivalent to roughly half of Pakistan’s central bank reserves of $16bn. The mutual defence pact had raised hopes of more Saudi investment and financial support in exchange for Pakistan’s military might.But two of the Pakistani advisers said Riyadh, which is facing tightening liquidity and a widening deficit while managing vast domestic financial commitments, had so far shown limited appetite in translating the accord into investments. After the US and Iran agreed a ceasefire, Pakistan this month positioned fighter and support aircraft in Saudi Arabia as part of their agreement, Riyadh said. But the existence of the pact had failed to deter Iranian missile and drone attacks against the Gulf kingdom.“The Saudis never had any illusions about Pakistani help and were simply hoping Iran would think twice before attacking them. This proved wrong,” said Bernard Haykel, professor of near eastern studies at Princeton University, who is writing a book about the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “Saudi cannot afford to bail out Pakistan,” said Haykel.
