Hi,
And suddenly we find ourselves at the verge of being strangulated by the powers to be---.
Turkey---just started a war and got sanctioned---with the whole of the christian world going against the Turks---.
And pakistan being almost left alone---only for the fortune of being the chinese neighbor ad standing with china being the saving grace---all major muslim nations succumbing one after the other to the might of the US military incursion---. All the world knows that Pakistan has been separated from the herd---and the only one to whom the truth does not register is on the Pakistani---living in a delusional world of ignorance and self belief---.
Yesterday---the western world presented the GCC on a platter to pakistan to be their guardian angel---and how did that happen is still and act of disbelief to me after all these years---.
What was to me being shown so many years ago was like some movie from the future playing on a large screen of the things to come to the region and tragically I could make others see what I was looking at---at what was coming our way---.
With iranians starting a proxy war in yemen against the state thru their houthis of yemen---supplying them with fighter---trainers and weapons an aura of instability started to appear over the region---.
For reasons better known to them the US and the UK agreed that the pakistani military would be best suited to take on the incursion of the yemeni rebels as the pak military was most suited and most well trained in that area after a very successful operation in the pakistani region of FATA---.
Getting a nod from the west the GCC looked towards pakistan to step in and take charge of the situation and provide security and stability to the region---.
But the litany of events that followed was mind boggling---shocking---of the incompetency shown by he pakistani military General command and pakistan's leadership.
This was the true " EAST INDIA COMPANY" moment for pakistan---and I don't mean no disrespect for my GCC brethren---as much reward that pakistan wanted---it was there for the taking.
When questioned about their concerns---the indian generals talked to Indira Gandhi about their concerns of Pak military might attack after the main indian army went to conquer east pakistan---to that Indira replied " don't worry about them---they won't---they don't have the courage ---".
The same happened when the GCC came looking for help from their pakistani brethren---the pakistani general command cowed down and took a bow---. These clowns could not comprehend what was happening---what was coming to the region---what their military presence could do for pakistan and for the muslim nations of the region---how would pak military presence would raise the economy of pakistan for the better and bring industrial and educational growth for the nation---.
Basically---pakistan generals had no vision or clue how to proceed---. It wa upto to the pakistanis to tell the GCC how much military they would need and how much would it cost---. They would have started with about 20000 troops and build up the troop strength thru fresh recruitment and calling the retired non coms and officers to service and build up a force of around 150000 troops stationed at three to four different locations---.
The force being funded by GCC---totally independent with weaponry---air force---navy---ground troops and transport---a totally independent battle group having its own tank divs---artillery divs---quick deployment force---special forces---at the service of GCC for their protection.
History has shown us over the centuries that whichever military group supported the king and had the King's favor was also financially and economically well off by themselves---their familes---heir employees and their servants as well---with better opportunity of education and a better life style---.
The same would have happened for pakistan as well---. The Pak troops in the GCC would be better paid troops---they would be sending more money back home to pakistan to their immediate families who would be spending that money for a better lifestyle---like in living conditions---food---education---which would have resulted in jobs for many other people thru a trickle down effect.
To maintain and manage a military on a foreign land---a supporting industry would also grow with the needs of the troops and for their families---. As pakistan being the dominant force in the region---most of the civilian jobs of influence would also be going to the pakistanis rathe than their arch enemy---..
In a period of 2 to 3 years with economy stabilizing in pakistan and thru economic growth---pakistanis getting steady on their feet and the GCC getting stable and confident in its security---they would be headed for stability and peace in a zone of security---.
Yemen crisis would have been neutralized in a timely manner with a least amount of loss of life and property---iranian influence put back on the back burner---and pakistani moving ahead with a steadiness in its step---arch enemy india contained and controlled---.
But tragically such was not the case---. Nothing like that happened---. The true cowardice and incompetence of the pakistani generals showed thru the facade---. With their stomachs full from the US aid money---the pakistani generals had no need for any adventure---the assumption that their nucs made them secure and they did not need to spread beyond their borders and keep the enemy farther away did not mean anything to them---.
Sdaly---the time did not stop at the whims of the pakistani generals---the indians after they saw the failings of the pakistani generals---stepped right into the empty space---even though they did not provide military assistance---they got financial reward for acknowledging the problem that the GCC faced---.
4 years down the road---the indians were successful in separating pakistan from its herd---the GCC. In the meantime---the US overthrew Qaddafi---started trouble in syria and destroyed that country---iraq was already gone---and trouble brewing hard on the borders of Turkey---.
The indian puppet govt of Nawaz Sharif had done a successful job of what they had planned with their indian partners for getting them back into the seat of power in pakistan by destroying pakistan's economy like never before---putting pakistan in a massive economic debt by starting project that were of no use to the nation or the public---taking out so many loans that it put pakistan in an extremely precarious position that if it might have lasted any longer---the nation's economy would have crashed and pakistan would have to sell its nuc program to get out of the debt---by neutering itself in the process---.
It came pretty close---but Nawaz Sharif got caught---pakistan's economy took a massive hit---pakistan's image took a massive hit---friends had stepped away from pakistan---uncertain times were staring pakistan in the eye and pakistan was going down a never ending spiral---. New govt came it---brought some stability to the economy---. By begging---borrowing pakistan survived the harrowing first year after Nawaz---but it had given away its position of strength and was begging from a position of weakness---. Its army and navy in one direction---its air force had its own direction---the judges running around in circles---the state ministers not knowing what to do---the Prime Minister---who came swinging like a warrior--who would take out all the criminals and the incompetent fizzled out within minutes of getting into power by declaring that " he is a pessimist "---.
Seeing a weak state of pakistan and not standing with the GCC---iran became more and more aggressive towards the GCC---india tested pakistan on the 26th feb to test the waters---got a whimpering of a reply on the 27th feb by the Paf---after it was pushed very hard by the pakistani public and then india realized that the moment had to strike---.
While pakistan's prime minister declared that he felt like winning the world cup one more time---india annexed Kashmir---. Suddenly the flames of war have spread fast on the Trukey / Syria border---the US has placed sanctions on Trukey---all the christian world is after Turkey's blood---and suddenly Pakistan is finding itself to be the sole muslim power left of the muslim world---.
And suddenly we find ourselves at the verge of being strangulated by the powers to be---.
Turkey---just started a war and got sanctioned---with the whole of the christian world going against the Turks---.
