Most Pakistanis seem to be very happy that atleast there is some great power to challenge USA's global hagemony and that is Russia. If most Pakistanis approve Russia's reemergence on the global geopolitical landscape as a counter weight to America, Pakistan too should set aside past bitterness and become a close friend to Russia, at least as close as it is to China. Since Pakistan was born, there had been some mistakes by our leaders to keep the balance between the then superpowers USSR and USA contrary to India which kept the balance. We blindly fell in love with the USA and ignored USSR which was also our immidiate neighbour at that time thus we lost any sympathy from the leaders of Moscow. Anyway its never too late. We can cultivate a closer friendship with Moscow even now if we forget the past bitterness and look toward the future. China and Russia too had much bitterness and disputes during the cold war but they managed to resolve their issues and are now allies. As for Russo-Indian relations, no power would like to limit its options just to one country in a region. Russians could be very close friends to Pakistan if circumstances permit. Also Russia must be upset with the fact that India is getting closer to Washington day by day, to counter China. This is high time our leadership show wisdom and cultivate good relations with Moscow. In this may be China could help Pakistan and pave the way for a closer relationship between Islamabad and Moscow.
