Our leaders talk big but always bow to external pressure. I'll believe it when troops train together.

India and Iran will freak out, so expect a lot of backdoor diplomacy to kill this.

Selam aleykum. Turkey already has defence ties with Pakistan, but adding Saudi is new. I'm cautiously optimistic, but Erdogan's antics worry me.

As a Saudi, I'd love to see real military independence, but MBS needs US security guarantees. I doubt he'll jeopardise that.

Akh, let's be real, the West will never let this happen. Too much at stake for them.

I still remember the old RCD, never really took off. Let's see if this one has teeth.

Strategic depth, brother. Pakistan brings the nukes, Turkey the tech, Saudi the cash. Makes sense on paper.

Ummah's defence is a duty, not just politics. If this pact is sincere, it's long overdue. May Allah make it successful.
