Pakistan ist pleite. Das Land steht wirtschaftlich mit dem Rücken zur Wand. Doch anstatt die massive heimische Krise zu lösen, verhökert Islamabad das Einzige, was noch funktionstüchtig ist: das eigene Militär. Für ein paar Milliarden Dollar mutiert Pakistan zur kaufbaren, nuklear bewaffneten moslemischen Söldnernation für die saudischen Öl-Scheichs.
An diesem Wochenende landete auf der saudischen König-Abdulaziz-Luftwaffenbasis ein massives Kontingent der pakistanischen Streitkräfte – inklusive Kampfjets und schwerem militärischen Gerät. Rund 13.000 pakistanische Soldaten sollen dabei helfen, die Golfmonarchie zu verteidigen. Offiziell schwadroniert das saudische Verteidigungsministerium von einem „strategischen Verteidigungspakt“, der die „Sicherheit und Stabilität“ in der Region fördern soll. Doch in Wirklichkeit ist dies eigentlich nichts weiter als ein Söldner-Geschäft auf Staatsebene.
Riad erkauft sich dadurch die dringend benötigte militärische Schlagkraft, und Islamabad bekommt das, was es zum nackten Überleben braucht: frisches Geld. Saudische und katarische Geldgeber pumpen jetzt 5 Milliarden Dollar in die chronisch leere pakistanische Staatskasse. Der Deal wurde am Freitagabend nach einem Krisentreffen zwischen dem saudischen Finanzminister Mohammed bin Abdullah al-Jadaan und Pakistans Premierminister Shehbaz Sharif festgezurrt.
Pakistans Wirtschaft ist ein absoluter Sanierungsfall. Die Währungsreserven des riesigen Landes sind auf kümmerliche 16,4 Milliarden Dollar zusammengeschmolzen. Die Rechnungen stapeln sich, das Wasser steht der Regierung bis zum Hals. Die Kosten für Energieimporte explodieren – ein weiterer Kollateralschaden der jüngsten Eskalationen und der US-amerikanischen und der israelischen Angriffe auf den Iran. Gleichzeitig klopfen wütende Gläubiger an die Tür: Allein die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate fordern bis Ende des Monats die Rückzahlung von satten 3,5 Milliarden Dollar. Pakistan hat dieses Geld nicht. Was macht man also, wenn man vor dem Staatsbankrott steht? Man vermietet quasi seine Armee.
Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass die Saudis von Islamabad militärische Hilfe erhielten. Schon im Golfkrieg 1991 schickte Pakistan Truppen, um das saudische Königreich zu verteidigen. Doch der neue Pakt hat eine völlig neue, furchteinflößende Dimension. Das Abkommen verpflichtet beide Staaten, einen Angriff auf den einen als Angriff auf den anderen zu werten. Man könnte auch sagen, Saudi-Arabien hat sich damit faktisch den Schutz einer Atommacht gekauft. Die Golfmonarchie profitiert also vom nuklearen Schutzschirm der kaufbaren, nuklear bewaffneten moslemischen Söldnernation.
Die Verlegung von Kriegsgerät und Truppen nach Saudi-Arabien hat damit auch Signalwirkung. Andere islamische Länder mit ausreichend Kaufkraft, aber schwachen eigenen militärischen Fähigkeiten könnten sich den Schutz durch die moslemischen Brüder in Islamabad ebenfalls erkaufen wollen. Doch damit steht die Welt näher an einem Atomwaffeneinsatz als jemals zuvor.

French nationals Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris were released by Iran on Tuesday after "three and a half years of detention," President Emmanuel Macron announced.
The pair, who were arrested in May 2022 while visiting Iran, were accused by Iranian state television of being spies who sought to stir up unrest, according to Reuters. France previously denounced their detention as unjustified and unfounded.
"Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris are free and on their way to French territory, after three and a half years of detention in Iran. This is a relief for all of us and obviously for their families," Macron wrote on X.
"Thank you to the Omani authorities for their mediation efforts, to the State services, and to the citizens who mobilized tirelessly and thus contributed to their return," he added.
The nonprofit United Against Nuclear Iran described Kohler as the head of a federation of teachers unions in France, with Paris being her partner.
France’s foreign ministry said last May that Kohler and Paris were being detained as "state hostages by the Islamic Republic of Iran."

"They are being held in shameful conditions and have been able to receive only four consular visits, under very restrictive conditions," the ministry said at the time.
Iranian authorities freed the pair from prison in November but didn't let them leave the country, according to The Associated Press.
French officials said they were then being kept safe at the French Embassy in Tehran, until their departure from Iran on Tuesday.
