Become a proxy
-
Be dragged into Yemen militarily
-
Reduce foreign policy to Gulf binaries
The correct posture is principled alignment without operational entanglement.
What Pakistan Should Do (and Not Do)
Your take?
— Zorays Khalid (@zorayskhalid) December 30, 2025
Do:
-
Support Saudi Arabia’s right to defend its national security
-
Advocate Yemen’s unity and political settlement
-
Offer mediation, not muscle
-
Keep diplomatic channels open with all Gulf partners
-
Reaffirm that Pakistan’s defense agreements are defensive, not expeditionary
Do Not:
-
Pick camps publicly in a way that forecloses diplomacy
-
Participate in proxy conflicts
- Fear UAE’s US $ 3 Billion parked
-
Allow Pakistani territory, manpower, or credibility to be used indirectly
Defence cooperation is not subcontracted warfare.
