Re: Pakistan says Saudi asked for warplanes, warships and soldiers
You obviously didn’t get or pretending not to understand.
If slimy old parties like PPP, PMLN and Generals weren’t so busy looting the nation’s wealth and had spent serious efforts in developing the country and laid down foundation of sustained mass employments, people like you would not asking the country to be a slave to Saudi Arabia just because it hosts poor Pakistanis workers who despite the appalling living conditions and abuse of their human rights send some money home to their families. Absolutely gross, astonishing level of financial corruption and bad management is the biggest hindrance to development of Pakistan’s economy.
Pakistan has a choice to make, either to save the blue colour jobs of 1.5 million labourers and get involved in Afghanistan Vol II or save the entire country, plentiful resources, lives of its soldiers and a whole generation by saying no. It takes guts to develop a spine and not every Tom, Dick and Harry can afford to have one or just imagine the prospect of having one.
Don’t worry about my leader. He’s in good old KPK (not Sindh). A place where if he doesn’t perform, he’ll get voted out. He’s not besharam like other blood hungry wolves of PPP who think the entire province came in their baap ke jahez, venerate graves to stay in power and come on national TV to show how corruption is their right. I rather have him voted out for below par performance than steal nation’s wealth like Zardaris and Bhuttos and stash them in Swiss banks yet have a totally unchallenged claim to power in a province through ethnic rhetoric.
Re: Pakistan says Saudi asked for warplanes, warships and soldiers
Situation is not that dire as beghairat make it out to be.
If saudis threaten pakistan, tell them that Pakistan and PAF won’t be there even if houthis overrun southern arabia. Also, no more nuclear umbrella if they ever wanted one in the future.
It reminds me of the story my wing commander classmate of my dad told him. PAF had pilots deployed in seventies and saudis used to insult them (clean version is tum log makhi martay ho). Lo and behold, the yemenis attacked the saudis and these same choga wearers came running that ya shaikh, will you save us? It was so pathetic even after PAF bombed the yemenis, the saudis didn’t want to go and retake the area…
I guess some things never change. For a start, saudis should go bleed for their own country if it actually is anything more than saud tribe’s arabia.

Re: Pakistan says Saudi asked for warplanes, warships and soldiers
^ Exactly. Let the Saudies receive the body bags of their soldiers so they know how starting mindless wars feel like. How much of ‘help’ did Saudi Arabia offer Pakistan in her long and deadly fight against the Taliban?
I’m getting sick and tired of this BS slave mentality to justify Pakistan’s needless involvement in others’ wars. Americans would’ve kicked out Pakistanis ex-pats had Mushy said no, Saudies will kick out Pakistanis labourers if we say no. Really, is that how costly decisions are made? Is that what your foreign policy has reduce down to? Afghanistan a country far more troubled than Pakistan, absolutely war ragged and poverty stricken is taking in it’s expelled citizens from Pakistan, but somehow the sky will fall flat on Pakistan if Pakistanis from Gulf states return home. Yes that basically means - God forbid - government might need to find a way to provide for those people, and remittance, yes the remittance will go. Either it’s about the foreign aid or remittance, this is how the country is supposedly kept alive?
Somehow Mushy was a tin commando and what not for ‘dragging Pakistan into US’ war’ but Nawaz’s government has every right and logical reason to say yes to Saudi’s Afghanistan? Hypocrisy of highest order.
Re: Pakistan says Saudi asked for warplanes, warships and soldiers
We have to obey our Arab masters cause they donate money to our govt and army, they pimp out our military with fancy toys, they help financed our nuclear program and invest in our real estate market and they also employ millions of Pakistanis, so we have to obey our Arab masters even if they look down on us and treat us like slaves, because that’s exactly what we are -a people with no honor.
Heck, why don’t we just change our official language to Arabic and lets just pimp out our women to the Arabs, that way we can speed up our inevitable Arabization.
Re: Pakistan says Saudi asked for warplanes, warships and soldiers
Few weeks ago ( well before Saudis asked for Pak help) there was a news that Saudis have shown an interest in buying Al Khalid tank from Pak. I was very surprised to hear that as Saudis have got very deep pockets and they can definitely buy much much better tanks than Al khalid.
I guess that was one way for them to pay Pak showing interest in the purchase and give a message that in case you do not come and fight our war, forget about this tank deal.

Arabic should be taught all the way through high school; will reduce having to rely on translations for some of the best works ever recorded, some of which do not even have translations. And it might help people actual recite and understand the Holy Quran rather than relying on mix-messaged sermons.
As for the topic and request for warplanes, etc. I feel the same way as another poster earlier the real reason may be because Eurofighter and F15 manufacturers do not want Pakistani pilots manning those machines for the said reasons. Pakistan should play the role of escalation reduction and bring all concerned parties to the table to sort it out without muslim blood being spilled. Enough has, and continues to be spilled for various reasons as it is, one more reason may be one too many.
Re: Pakistan says Saudi asked for warplanes, warships and soldiers
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has hedged his bets. He has repeatedly said he will defend any threat to Saudi Arabia’s “territorial integrity” without defining what threat, or what action.
“Saudi Arabia has asked for combat planes, warships and soldiers,” Asif said, without specifying where Saudi wanted them deployed.
Arif Rafiq, a Washington-based adjunct scholar with the Middle East Institute, said earlier Pakistan was hoping to satisfy Saudi expectations at a “minimal” level.
“They’re unlikely to be part of any meaningful action inside Yemen,” he told Reuters. “Maybe they will reinforce the border.”
Sharif owes the Saudis. Endemic tax dodging means Pakistan needs regular injections of foreign cash to avoid economic meltdown. Last year, the Saudis gave Pakistan $1.5 billion. Saudi Arabia also sheltered Sharif after he was overthrown in a 1999 military coup.
