KSA never asked for Ground Troops

[Zarvan]

According to sources Saudi Arabia never asked for Ground troops. Pakistan has been asked for intelligence support and security of both Makkah and Madinah and other sensitive places inside Saudi Arabia. And tomorrow Defense Minister of Egypt will visit tomorrow

Chickened out already ?

Who chickened out of what? This isn't Pakistan's war.

I don't this news. There is a reason why KSA is delaying a ground offensive for so long, they need help, and Pakistan is the only one that can make their ground plans work without too much trouble.

Question ... Defending Makkah and Madinah from ... !?

It's a symbolic gesture, and this wouldn't be the first time. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, Pakistani forces were deployed in case Iraq tried to take the holy cities.

Fine

Fine

Pakistan can't say no to KSA, but also doesn't want to get involved and cause any unneeded tension with Iran. It's trying to strike a balance, as of now. If Pakistan won't get involved, this will happen, but if it does, expect Pakistani forces in Yemen very soonish, and relations between Iran and Pakistan to cool.

Anyway, we'll see by the end of today what will happen.

So the Saudis are unable to guarantee that? They have a huge Defence Budget, no?

But they want more troops for that this can't be taken lightly

 

[That Guy]

i never knew sheikhs were that stupid, that they wanted PA to protect holy cities from "attack".

They don't, they want Pakistan involved in the ground invasion, but they know that they can't afford to push Pakistan when it refuses something. They'll accept it, but they won't like it.

Unknown Forces...... because if the Houthis can get there...... then plane-loads of Saudi Royals will be taking off in a steady procession!

Without a ground invasion, the houthis will continue to make ground. This was expected, as history has shown, air power alone cannot guarantee victory.

The Saudis are waiting for Pakistan.
