"We completely support your right to defend yourself without any assistance from anyone who may have promised to help you"

The Mecca pact is just a facebook group to post thoughts and prayers.

It’s like Groundhog Day. Every other other day a Pakistani leader re-affirms support. Was this part of Mecca accords , get remarried every other day?

Support right to self defence? What? He probably also supports right to breathe, right to quench thirst.

Yes but in islamic

Think they're going to need more than emotional support

Is that like the most captain obvious statement to make?

“Someone attacked you so you have a right to defend yourself”

No $hit Sherlock …

Unless you’re Israel.

I didn't know right to self defense included murdering thousands of innocent people in the process and demolishing entire cities.

Israel operate on Dahiya Doctrine, any attack on their land is considered existential. The main reason Israel is getting condemned is they are actually winning and in one sided wars the stronger nation gets condemned when its a draw everyone is happy. Humans are weird

Lmao sure. Where is their support right now?

u/Holiday_Context5033 17h ago

We support KSA. They have our full support to defend their nation. - Moral and ethical support provided on need basis.

Everyone has a right to self defense. Is this guy stupid or playing one ?

u/Feisty_Astronaut6591 14h ago

I guess the question is whether they are capable of defending themself?

They have super high tech weaponry but they still lost in how to use it

I wonder if this is Pakistan's way of asking for more money, or just not wanting to get physically involved.

u/OM_infinity 15h ago

Yeah, full support on social media with unedited Call Of Duty game clips. This is all what impotent Pakistan can do.

Question: Has Saudi Arabia asked the Pakistanis for tactical help in this case, according to the accord? If yes, is there a reason why there is a delay?

u/Dhan996 12h ago

I think pakistan will keep pretending like Saudi is too powerful in this war so they don't need help, and these are pre-emptive strikes of self defense, so the Mecca Pact won't be exercised

u/Ill_Addendum3047 9m ago

I guess yes. Already Pak mobilised more than 10k soldiers to support KSA to defend Houthis. They got 5-10b dollars before hand to support repayment to UAE.Also many cargos with Arms too unlike Turkeye , whose president is just talk .

u/thecrazyhuman 5h ago

Their support is on social media

u/Even-Adhesiveness421 17h ago

Meccah pact was made to defend and protect pakistan from India. Muslim brotherhood against Hindus. But Almighty one has different plan, What if.......

u/No-Benefit-3477 17h ago

Saudi Arabia would never act against India, turkey doesn’t have the capacity to act against India

u/themystifyingsun 16h ago

Defend and protect Pakistan's terror attacks

u/DeciusCurusProbinus 15h ago

Not really. India is a second tier military with a lot of issues but their armed forces are much more superior to all three members of the Mecca Pact. The whole Muslim world has been unable to beat Israel yet (even back when it was not supported by the US) let alone a behemoth like India. In Asia, only the Chinese can truly threaten them.

To add to that, India has some very lucrative trade with all Gulf States especially the UAE. Explicitly acting against it is something that will never be supported. If they were not such a backward and ignorant society, India would certainly be more than a regional power.

u/OnyxProyectoUno 11h ago

You’re making it sound like India has a better military than Israel. Which is laughable

24

u/DeciusCurusProbinus 11h ago

No, India's military is markedly inferior to the IDF which is why I called it second tier. However, it has a much greater capacity for waging war as compared to Israel. The likes of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey certainly can't threaten it. Militarily, only the US and China have the capacity to threaten India.

My assertion was more aimed towards the military ineptitude of the Muslim world. The greatest Islamic military is probably Pakistan and their record against India is not particularly good. With its historical advantages over India, the Pakistani military should have ideally achieved much better results but they are incredibly incompetent.

Fully agreed.

It's like hosting your friends at a high-end steakhouse every weekend, but when you're in a bar fight, they keep putting you on hold saying "I'm on my way!" while staying parked around the block.

With extra emphasis on the "self".

They have always had that right. They are just not good at it.

u/elderwand93 2h ago

Any words out of this 2 bit spineless POS and his con artist family shouldn’t be taken seriously, he’s a puppet for the Pakistani military establishment while the real elected leader of Pakistan is being held in jail on bogus charges.
