Bro, I hope you're right.
There is no reason to be jazbati like them. We understand them, we deal with them. Let us not take it too far. If they make the mistakes of cutting us off, we can reciprocate.
Next generation of Arabs, Iranians, etc. can say to us that we never betrayed or backstabbed them. This is what is happening in Tehran. You will see it in KSA eventually.
People will ask why MBS cut off ties with beloved brother Pakistan. Saudis will be furious.
Just to emphasize, modern day Arabs and their rulers are very anti-Islamic and couldn't care less about Islam or Muslims. One big mistake Pakistanis make is to assume that the Islam unites all Muslims when in reality it no longer does.
They are not following Islam the proper way and they no longer believe in brotherhood of Muslims. All that matters to them is money. That is both KSA and Iran factions.
However we are not like them, we can keep holding the olive branch out to them, hoping they change their ways.
We cannot let them dictate policy to us, esp not in relation to our interests and our Kashmiri brothers.
Whole world can burn, but we will never abandon Kashmir. We will do anything for our blood.
Turkey and Iran don't force Pakistan not to speak up on Kashmir. The Saudis clearly do. It is not about new or old alliances. It is about safeguarding your interests without compromising them.
Also, we don't have to be anyone's lackey to become an economic power. We already have one of the largest economic powers on our side i.e. China. You leave it up to China. They understand what they are doing. We are just simpletons always looking for excuses to screw up great opportunities presenting themselves. Always quarreling and arguing because we put our own personal interests above Pakistan. I am glad we have China as our mentor.
You remember what many members on this very forum used to say when we were fighting US WoT some years ago? How will Pakistan survive when US aid is halted? Well guess what, the aid stopped long ago and Pakistan survived.
When we stop being afraid to do the right thing for ourselves and for the world, then Pakistan will become a power.
Otherwise we will live a meager existence and eventually die.
Pakistan must expand and become aggressive to meet the upcoming challenges. It will be a very challenging time, but alhamdulilah we are blessed with so many fortunes.
I do not disagree with that quote -- however, what Pakistan is going through has been building up for decades it's not something in haste or happened over night. Saudi's have been kicking the can down the road, and their petro-dollars has made Pakistan insufficient through manipulation, almost to the point of being a drunkard.
Let's be real honest, what benefit can the Saudi regime provide:
- Oil
- Jobs
- Loans
Alternative
- Oil: Iran and as
@Pan-Islamic-Pakistan said go the Caspian route and have a direct pipeline into Pakistan
- Jobs: Unless your in a White-Collar job you will be making good money, if not your living hand to mouth a kasi or street corner rari wala would make more in a day, your a practical slave and shown no issat, what do that call us in the Gulf
Misqueen
- Loans: Go straight to China and have some sort of mechanism in place of accountability; and knowing Chinese they wouldn't hesitate
We really need to create another block OIC is defunct and most of all the Saudis' can't lead and need to be pushed aside.
We must never allow anyone to be able to blackmail us again. Kashmir is not up for discussion with anyone.
If OIC refuses to act on Kashmir, we rip it to pieces and start an actual defense pact for Muslim countries with tangible benefits for us.
Tukey, Malaysia, Pakistan, and next Afghan government can be a good start.
........I remember those dark days of late 2001 when some people used to claim that Pakistan is only 3 months away from total collapse without american aid and support...........
