You must be joking, right? I can understand if you are playing to the gallery of naive and ignoramuses!!

Just FYI, erstwhile USSR's woes were in no way related to its Afghanistan campaign. Just so that you know.

Yes, yes!! Russia's relations with Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Palestine, etc mean nothing. Only with Pakistan can Russia finally "get into the Islamic World".!

Well those aren't "startegic relations".Supplying arms dosent mean the countries have strategic partnership.I donn know why u guyz are going so pathetic ON just disscussion of "Pak-Russ" partnership??

Lets hope for the best guyz

Pak is Russia’s ‘most important’ partner in South Asia: Putin

Moscow: Pakistan is Russia’s “most important” partner in South Asia and in the Islamic world, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Monday during a meeting with his Pakistani counterpart in St Petersburg.

“Pakistan today is not an important trade and economic partner of Russia, but also most important Russian partner in South Asia and in the Islamic world,” Putin was quoted as saying at his meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani.



The two met on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) prime-ministerial meet in St Petersburg, ITAR-TASS reported.

Welcoming Gilani, Putin said he was happy to see him in Russia and his hometown St Petersburg, though he had met him earlier in other countries.

He also confirmed Moscow’s readiness to invest $500 million on the CASA-1000 electric transmission line to supply Pakistan with the Central Asian power from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.


With deterioration of Islamabad’s ties with Washington, Moscow is seeking a closer relationship with India’s arch-rival with the blessing of China — Pakistan’s “all-weather” friend.


This Russian shift in South Asia policy where India had always been Moscow’s main partner is reflection of apprehensions over New Delhi-Washington relationship turning into a military-political alliance to block Russia and China’s interests in the region.

Moscow also believes that the key to the stability in Russia’s soft belly — Central Asia — is ties with Islamabad, which has the potential of creating mischief along and inside the borders of the former Russian empire.

Putin was just speaking to the gallery ... Russia knows very well the pakistani support and sympathy for Chechnya rebels and other parts of central asia !

For Russia in today's changed scenario and in the future China is the main threat and not USA ! India and Russia will always stay as all weather friends!
