Pakistan-Saudi Arabia mutual defense pact: News & Discussion

[Starlord]

I wonder why Qatar is not announcing joining the Pak-KSA pact ?

except uae everyother gulf country would join this pact after iran usa deal

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

What are we discussing here for past 2 weeks ?

1. This deal is bad for Pakistan.
2. Pakistan was played for peanuts.
3. Pakistan should ask KSA to fund J-35 purchase.
4. we should call back out troops from KSA and dont be a part of this mess.
5. Now Israel is in our range.

Nothing new, nothing substantial, nothing well-known. Just speculations and imaginary scenarios. This thread should be banned till there is something new and meaningful in this regard.

That is not fault of the forum members. No-one has seen the text of this MoU, hence we can only speculate.

The Defence Pact is and will remain ambiguous, and ambiguity is it's strength.

Making details public will lose its value.

I don't understand this block of Pakistan-Saudi Arabia-Egypy-Turkiye, or the so called "R4".

They are very active. What exactly is it's purpose? Are they preparing some sort of security mechanism that will cover all of West Asia including Pakistan?

What exactly will Egypt contribute besides being American-Israel lapdog?

 

[Ali_Baba]

Egypts peace deal with Israel means it cannot join any multilateral defence treaty as the terms of its own peace treaty with Israel means it cannot engage in military operations against Israel.

Egypt is best ignored?

Let's not say that about the Egyptians. Every country has its own limits and challenges.

The nation has a population of around 108 million people, and it's fairly stable compared to the nations in its surroundings.
