Hi there,
Happy Eid bro .
I don't agree that the Soviet didn't pose a real threat to Pakistan, and I'm not convinced enough to believe say. The situation was more complicated than what the Soviets said here and there, the fact that the execution of Zulifqar AB was one of main the reason that had led the Russians to invade Afghanistan is an undeniable cause followed by an effect - which is the invasion of this case -
Additionally, Pakistan nuclear program was in its intermediate stage, therefore, the Soviets couldn't have be deterred much to go there.
As such, the invasion came as a blow to both states concerned.
I might not agree with you but I deeply respect your take into this, and I will never regret KSA's involvement ever.
Happy Eid to you , mate ! Its not the festive day here yet
Well , there's the difference of opinion . The condition of the Soviet Union back then proves otherwise , think of it , they aren't even remotely confident of providing stability to the Communist regime , how can they , in such case , be expected to try to invade Pakistan which was no military pushover ? The USSR due to its economic policies and huge military spending vis a vis U.S was already on the verge of decline . Just like the Americans aren't leaving Afghanistan today because they are militarily defeated , the Reds didn't do so because they had lost some 14,000 comrades but mainly because their economy didn't permit them to further continue the futile endeavor furthermore . However , the Pakistani involvement in the Soviet war did speed things up , which had to happen sooner or later just like the civil war in Afghanistan and struggle for control of Kabul .
Things could have been handled the conventional way instead of going nuclear , you dont fight wars without money . Pakistan downed 10 invaders from Afghanistan after the outbreak of the Soviet war , did the Kremlin then retaliate despite having the capability to do so ? Islamabad engaged the Soviet soldiers with Special Services and Pakistan Army direcly ? The result , nothing . No , mate , there was nothing left in the Red Empire .
Let say the Pakistani leader fooled Riyadh back then , just like he fooled the Pakistani nation ? What would you say , in such case ?
I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it No problemo , feelings are good
