I would not decline that you are becoming imminent in the region and the deal you bagged is eye raising for India, but if you think Russia is like Minded and to some reason Iran then it is due to shift of focus of India to US, you forgot in the time of Crisis India built road through IRAN to provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, when Pakistan declined.
Please read about that too, Pakistan initially declined but later asked to participate and offered assistance which India declined...
Pakistan did not decline that. Have u seen any official of ours commenting on that? Yr media isnt credible. Yr own ISRO official rubbished that assumption. And we did participated in meeting on 22 june on that. We offered assistance as we want things which can benefit us as well and help grow our own knowledge base. Thats why we want stake in the project or else i dont think acquiring gifts is our priority. If there is nothing in it then there is no reason for wasting time.
Regarding yr first paragraph, read post#33. I have explained it in detail. Remember that what u offer to the world is just temporary economic benefits by first guarding yr own domestic industry and market. But what we offer to these countries will last forever ie security, routes for trade, natural resources etc etc
Hence our importance in their eyes was always very high. Do u know in times of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Russia even build lots of infrastructure to have a better influence in our country. since Mr Bhutto was communist himself. In his tenure the relations with China also reached new high at the time. The reason for Russia was at that time were that it knew abt what Superpowers want from Pakistan and if there is only country which can neutralize USSR is us. Because of our influence within the Muslim World in Central Asia which was and still is Muslim area. Back then even Tajikistan was part of USSR, they were almost our neighbor. Hence they grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
India was never their priority from beginning it was because of our own attitude in the beginning that they had to improve their relations militarily with u in order to scare us or force us to proceed with them. And also the fact that at the time u had great statesmen in the shape of Abdul Kalam Azad, Nehru, Patel etc who could see b/w back and white and u grabbed the opportunity and respond to them.
Now fast forward things have changed again, And we have also learnt a few lessons as well from our history. BTW we Pakistanis r fast learners and we adapt quickly u might have observed that yrself in some point in yr life as well.
Hence now if i take things in prospective of what i wrote in post#33 and post#9......We had been building our relations within Asiatic and regional countries since past decade and while we were building we have found a few like minded countries within the domain of Asia which also share our vision of regional and Asia to Asia co-operation ie Russia-China and Iran. Hence why we had applied for SCO years ago. And if we do get into BRICS etc that vision of ours along with these few counties will just find more practical form then only being a vision as of now.
Contrary to yr indian propagandas and believes we do care abt our own country the most and we are no American stooge or any jelly state. We know how to play in IR.
