Munir is such a clown. What Pakistan needs is NOT more "defence and security ties", it needs real economic investment and that will not be organised by a boot shiner COAS ...

But that is not his job description. Or, as we say, for a man with a hammer, the world looks like it is full of nails.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh during an official visit to Saudi Arabia, according to Pakistan’s military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

Upon his arrival at the Royal Palace, the crown prince welcomed the Army Chief warmly. Discussions focused on shared interests, particularly in areas of regional peace, defence cooperation, and enhancing bilateral relations.

General Munir expressed appreciation for the crown prince’s contributions to regional stability and thanked him for Saudi Arabia's consistent support for Pakistan. Additionally, the army chief held talks with Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid Bin Salman. Both leaders committed to strengthening defence and security cooperation.

The visit also included meetings with Assistant Minister of Defence Engineer Talal Abdullah Al-Otaibi, Chief of General Staff of Royal Saudi Armed Forces Air Chief Marshal Fayyadh Bin Hamed Al Ruwaili, and Chief of Royal Saudi Land Forces Lieutenant General Fahad bin Saud Al-Johani, underscoring the depth of military ties between the two nations.

The army chief’s visit follows Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent trip to Saudi Arabia, where bilateral collaboration expanded to $2.8 billion. Last month, a Saudi investment delegation in Pakistan signed 27 agreements worth $2.2 billion, reflecting the growing economic and strategic partnership between the countries.

Do the intelligentsia including the ruling class feel strange when their army chief meets another country's head of state? Or have they internalized this is how things are and should be?

But my suggestion of bringing in Trump Would allow the Talibs to secure the one thing they are key to get, American recognition. They get the US, they secure the west. That will ensure their regime will endure.

This is why Pakistan must extract a world changing deal. IK, Zalmay, and Trump. The three men that could get it done if there were any to do it. Just like Mongolia divides up mining contracts, Pakistan and Afghanistan divide up mining contracts between China, the US, the West, and the GCC and they will have secured interdependence. All these parties can help keep the Indians and Iranians off their backs.

I have a feeling thats why IK is important to incoming admin. They want to carry on from where they left and both parties seems ready. Mian biwi razi, par qazi hai harame . They need to change the current qazi and bring in the one acceptable to both. And that man is IK. He was instrumental in Doha agreement. He build the trust with both sides. Asim and his gang in GHQ are rats which Taliban won't have anything to do.

Most of the intelligentsia has run away or is in jail, or under threat of torture and rape. The ones who remain are the ones who fully cooperate with the military.

This is also why PTI needs to use its government in KPK, to negotiate with the Talibs to get guarantees that they are on board to do the mining contracts under an IK-Zalmay-Trump deal. IK is also more soft hearted to the plight of Afghans, especially those that grew up all or nearly all their lives in Pakistan.

This is also the time PTI needs to arrange for street protests to finally start with gusto, BUT with safety taken into account. Achieve the 3.5% margin to show the world, and Trump, that millions are out on the streets and IK has the support on the ground to be accepted as the leader and honor any deal he makes with Trump.

And diaspora in America needs to keep the pressure cooker situation for GHQ rats so these turds like MBS and that another one from UAE don't put spanner in the works. Has to be collective effort.

Outside of Pakistan, it has to be led by a deeper bench than just Zulfi and Dr. Gil. They need to start recruiting people, elevating those that helped the letter writing campaigns to congress.

All efforts don’t need to be synchronized, it needs a grand strategy blessing from IK, to give it that blessing that will end potential infighting or people losing focus and breaking the momentum. If one mid level leader falls, there need to be junior people that can take the place and move up the ranks.

Assim is a typical narcissist & psycho. The one who wants to be COAS for lifetime shows his greedy, insecure & narcissist mindset.

This tragedy of this country that a real leader (for which the nation voted) is in jail for absolutely no crime and the ones who were rejected by the nation are in govt because one Moron in GHQ said so.

No discussions, no opposition, no accountability, no need for nation's approval, so you can expect nothing short of blunders.

Pakistan has a dark future until these Generals are not put up on a leash. Their meetings with other head of states should not be allowed until approved by the govt (govt with true mandate), COAS tenure should be at max 1.5 years, there should be accountability of the budget & much more. Those all reforms are vital otherwise same thing will be repeating over & over again. Foreign countries can mind fu-k one General and do regime change, do Foreign Policy **** ups, ruin any economic or legislative progress of the nation in an instance.

As long as Assim is alive. Nation will keep suffering, Nation's mandate will never be allowed to come in power, IK won't come out. Its as simple as that. So any plan that has to be made should consider this.

Man MBS looks like he doesn’t want to be there

Can you blame him?

I have reported it as its fake and AI generated. Differences/opinions apart, pls don't post things like this without mentioning that its fake.

 

[Aamir Hussain]

My 2C worth. For US or Trump, Pakistan has become irrelevant in the face of growing competition from China and the opportunity to leverage India for a "Rope a Dope" play with China. So if anyone thinks that Trump or anyone else of relevance will do anything in the internal affairs of our country at this point in time, is living in a fools paradise.

Seriously, what regional stability?:-"General Munir expressed appreciation for the crown prince’s contributions to regional stability and thanked him for Saudi Arabia's consistent support for Pakistan. "

Also look at Asim Munirs body language and posture, neck and head pushed forward, kind of a hunch look, hands in lap, back against a cushion not fully rested on sofa.

This points to nervousness and feeling tense, not confident in ones own self. He gives the aura of someone who is submissive in this situation and looking upto someone he highly respects like a teacher.

In the business community, Asim’s posture would be considered submissive, signaling indecisiveness and weakness.
