Joint Defense Agreement: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, news & updates

[Owaiz]

The idea only works once the Arab world drops this old ego that they “lead” anything. For decades they genuinely saw themselves as above non‑Arab Muslims and almost equal to Western powers — until Iran shattered that illusion and Pan‑Arabism collapsed. That’s the part people always forget.

If they’re serious about any trilateral defence axis, they’d have to invest heavily into Turkish and Pakistani defence industries. Otherwise, why would anyone die for them? Especially when the likely scenario is the West quietly backing Iran or Israel to drag the region into another Muslim‑on‑Muslim conflict.

Let’s see how this unfolds, but the days of Arabs assuming automatic leadership are over. Any future alignment only works if they recognise that reality first.

Many people also share the delusion that Saudi Arabia is some source of unlimited funding. They are a very rich country, yes, but they also have huge domestic funding commitments. They are running increasingly larger budget deficits and have had to borrow money. Despite the huge spending, their GDP growth has been anaemic as Vision 2030 has mostly been a failure on the financial front.

Do you really think so ? that Turkey poses a threat to israel?

historically the only nation that posed threat on israel among the 3 is just pakistan when they sent some of their pilots to Egypt during 1973 and before it.

Saudia (was) a threat during Faisal era until he was assassinated and now Saudia just pays yearly bribe to the U.S ( trillions) for protection of Al-Saud throne.

what Turkey has done ? absolutely nothing.

Iran had a chance to cause some serious long lasting damage to Israel instead it all just turned out to be small dents that are repairable. They only attacked Israel as a retaliation to decapitation of its leadership.
They blew their chance.

Turkey has more serious weapons that can inflict alot more damages to Israel. If Israel tries to pull Iranian type sh1t on Turkey it wont be just symbolic spam attack that puts small dents. It will be eye for an eye. Just because they have a trade with Israel does not mean they are puppet. FYI China and Russia both do trades with Israel.

Pakistan retaliation will not be conventional if Israel tries to pull same sh1t on Pakistan. Dont need to explain what will happen to them.

Azerbaijan is not going to join this deal. Syria maybe but even Syria is unlikely for now. Egypt is the next likeliest, it really was surprising that they weren't initially included considering meetings were happening in a quadrilateral format.

Those meeting were not related to this agreement but another agreement related to defense production and R&D.

Pakistan, KSA & Turkey already have a committee on it but that is all no common R&D program or product is available at least in public domain.

With all due respect to you as a member here but once Turkey attacks israel once in their history we can discuss how strong Turkey is, other than that , the only countries that attacked israel are ( Egypt-Jordan-Syria-Iran-Lebanon-Iraq-Yemen) and other countries participated with their troops to help us like ( Pakistan for sure - North Korea-Algeria-Cuba-Libya-Sudan-Tunisia-Kuwait and the soviet union).

They have tried to invest in Tourism , I've been there and saw the infrastructure (which is nice btw) , but most of the tourism is domestic tourism, they have nice natural areas but it's know the European and American tourist are the top when it comes to tourists' spendings , why would a european or american visit Saudia ? for desert ? there are plenty of desert and mountains all over the world , what so special ? I see nothing special , they've invested in the wrong field , if the money spent on tourism was to be spent on something for example( industry) it would have been more useful.
