Makkah Defence Alliance: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, news & updates

[Ali_Baba]

Chinese made weapons are found extensively among UAE armed groups. Turks have witnessed across multiple theatres like Libya and Sudan for example.

As far as the UAE is concerned i wouldnt look at it as an arab or muslim country, its basically an isreali front where isreal cannot operate openly as isreal. So when you see the UAE active you are really seeing Isreal active.

It does make me wonder where Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has been "wetting his wick" and what Israel has on him.

Just saying ...

hahah

Yeah, but in addition to this Emirati foreign policy has been so stupid and short sighted. Basically pro anyone who is Anti - Saudi in the region. That has bitten them on the ass more then once. Now they are quickly running out of allies, so much so it is two non Islamic countries both geographically distant that they are looking for as regional allies.

One does not have to be an expert in geography to see in conflict any Israeli or Indian help (if they do help that is) will be very hard to reach UAE by air or sea

In short: The giant area of Eurasia, of which America is an extension through Europe.
Not much for the southeast Asian, the sub Saharan Africans, the two continents of the Americas, or the Oceanas; lucky them!
Eurasia is the birthplace of major religions, civilizations, conflicts, and innovations. It is the center of gravity of humanity. The analyst Glenn Diesen (Denmark?) has his channel named after Euraasia.

Poor Iran is nowhere to be seen... that's heartbreaking.

1. Iran was never in GCC, GCC was founded to counterbalance the Iranian influence post 1979.
2. I don't see a world where Iran cannot be involved in the R4 nations - but obviously there are caveats to as why this is not practicable presently.
3. Iran can't belong to the Arab league due to clear membership criteria
4. Obviously Iran wont be involved in any "Abraham Accords"
5. C-SIPA was founded between US and Bahrain to counter security challenges posed by Iran in 2023 and the UK joined in 2024.
---
Bahrain has very good security ties with KSA.

Technicall the circle around Pakistan/Saudi for the "Saudi Arabia - Pakistan Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement" is missing as that is a circle in its own right. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkiye then overlap on the Makkah pact.

( I know you did not create this diagram! Lol !! ).

i do think it would be very difficult for iran to be in there as they/irgc have their own sectarian as well as hegemonic designs and desires to rule outside their territory and their feud with the arabs is long lasted
who will really trust them? They have proxies everywhere creating issues.....

Agree. Would add the Indian contingent to the clandestine israeli one, which numerically is the most populous group in UAE, outnumbering even ARABS (Inc BOTH emiratis AND non-emirati Arabs combined!!).

It is impossible to regard UAE as anything other than a hexagon member.

Keep this filth well away from Mecca pact unless this ground reality somehow changes (which it won't).

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has dismissed criticisms from India and other external observers regarding the Makkah Defence Pact, asserting that the trilateral collective-defense agreement will serve as a game-changing platform. While Indian analysts have raised concerns over the strategic implications of the security pact, Fidan maintained that the alliance is purely defensive and not directed at any third party.
