rangeelaraja Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) This is a done deal. UAE president would not come for a 3 hour visit if this was anything but a done deal. Edited January 19 by rangeelaraja SinNombre, Pratik77, raki05 and 2 others 1 3 1

IndianRenegade Posted January 19 Posted January 19 But unlike Pooks India won’t send foot soldiers to die for UAE.

Lone Wolf Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Would be intresting how MeA walks a tightrope on this one. Militarily UAE is no match to Saudia. UAE is going to be first Rafale F4 buyer though. We are not going to put boots on the ground if things get to that point. What is plausible: 1) we protect UAE’s eastern flank against any Pak blockade that comes at Saudi behest 2) we will supply essentials and ammo to UAE when needed In return, massive UAE investment in India. UAE for sure will sign many such deals with us
Lone Wolf Posted January 19 Posted January 19 UAE practically has zero allies left in middle East. They are desperate for our help Qatar the actual villain of Middle East will reconcile with KSA and join Turkey Saudi Pook alliance.

Not only is it a moderate, liberal society - they have significantly diversified from being and oil and natural gas economy. None of these countries have any experience with modern warfare - just throwing oil money on western hardware doesn’t make one a military power. I think India - UAE will form a fantastic synergy because Indias own home grown capabilities married to UAE wealth. In addition to this UAE is the most solid ally of Israel in the ME, so India- Israel - UAE is a very strong alliance of like minded countries . Pak has nothing to offer but its personnel to be used as cannon fodder. Edited January 19 by rangeelaraja ravishingravi, G_B_ and raki05 1 2
SinNombre Posted January 19 Posted January 19 This is great news. Trump is causing chaos and a rejig of the world order, now is the time for us to form synergistic alliances. There are 5 factions in the middle east. KSA/Turkey Israel Iran with its proxies - massively defanged after the last 12 months with Hamas, Hezbollah, Assad regime all routed. Only Houthis are left. UAE and its proxies - also defanged after KSA destroyed its presence in Yemen. Only Somali faction left. Qatar and its rogue regime Israel and UAE are natural partners for India in this region. Israel understands what it is being surrounded by Muslim countries and modern UAE has its roots in British India including using Rupee as its currency until Indira devalued it. Build stronger ties with Israel and UAE, maintain relationships with Iran as we have done for millennia, view KSA/Turkey with suspicion while continue doing business with them and actively start fighting back Qatar and its rogue regime on soft power/bribery should be our MO.

SinNombre Posted January 19 Posted January 19 We also need to do the same in the Mediterranean (France, Italy, Greece, India alliance makes a lot of sense) and South China sea (start with Japan). The world is changing and this is our opportunity to ensure we can exert influence and fight back if other countries meddle in our affairs. raki05 1

In war between ksa n uae economically pak biggest loser.

Boots on the ground to help saudis against uae will directly 100000% result in ww3. I have a strange feeling i will be unfortunate by end end of my lifetime we will see a ww3, dunno how old u uncles are but now its coming to the boiling point.
singhvivek141 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) UAE is also important for oil security, they've signed 10 year oil deal with HPCL. Probably India will transition from Russia/Iran to UAE, but keep the oil purchases less from KSA and US. Edited January 20 by singhvivek141 ravishingravi 1
ravishingravi Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Not to mention the growing influence of Indian diaspora in UAE. Probably the most influential. IndianRenegade and raki05 1 1

That's why I think it is a mere partnership deal not one of those defense pacts that Pooks have signed with Saudi. I do hope we get our pound of flesh in return for this posturing. UAE has always been kinda an artificial mercenary state to begin with. Edited January 20 by Lone Wolf IndianRenegade 1
