#SMDA
I’m getting more and more tempted.

Our friends, Dennis and Patrick are immigrants from just outside Sarasota. They’ve been in SMDA for about 15 years now, I guess. We never got a chance to visit when we were living in Winter Park so maybe, just maybe, a boat…

Pakistan committed to implementing Saudi defence pact, Makkah agreement: FO
Pakistan on Thursday said it remained committed “in intent and spirit” to implementing the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) with Saudi Arabia and the trilateral Makkah Defence Alliance. Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan made the statement during his weekly briefing. The statement comes amid renewed tensions in the Middle East, with Yemen’s Houthi rebels carrying out attacks in Saudi Arabia in recent days. A day earlier, a Saudi-led coalition battling Houthis accused the rebels of targeting the holy city of Makkah, sparking outrage across the Muslim world and deepening the conflict roiling the region. However, the Houthis swiftly rejected Riyadh’s report as a “lie” that it shot down a drone from the rebels heading towards Makkah. In response to a question on whether “any mechanism had been devised as to how Pakistan will ensure that recent Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia are thwarted,” the spokesperson held that Pakistan was committed to “implementing” the SDMA and the Makkah pact. “However, when, how, where and what force will be used against what objectives, in which modes and matters [..] — operational confidentiality requires us to be discreet at this stage,” he added. On being asked about the diplomatic efforts undertaken by Pakistan to “de-escalate and defuse” the Houthi issue, the spokesperson held, “Pakistan has for a long time [..] shared the perspective that we would like to have peace and stability because this is not only in the interest of Pakistan and Iran, but also the entire region and beyond”. Khan termed the situation in Bab al-Mandeb “exceptionally serious” and went on to call on the Houthis to “stop their activities”. “In this regard, our discussions basically revolve around bringing peace and stability through dialogue and diplomacy and not through coercive measures,” he added. ## PM Shehbaz to head to US next week for UNGA In his press briefing, the spokesperson also announced that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will be leading Pakistan’s delegation at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, US, next week. Khan said that the premier will be accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and several federal ministers. FO said that at UNGA, PM Shehbaz, in his address, will “highlight Pakistan’s perspective on regional and global developments, reaffirming the importance of dialogue, diplomacy and restraint and peaceful resolution of issues”. The premier is also expected to outline Pakistan’s priorities on “sustainable development, climate change, counter-terrorism, Islamophobia, global economic challenges, UN reforms and issues concerning the Global South. He will also draw attention to the situation in India-occupied Kashmir and Palestine, FO added. On the sidelines, PM Shehbaz is scheduled to participate in high-level events and hold bilateral engagements with world leaders and the UN secretary-general, where FO said he will highlight “Pakistan’s commitment to multilateralism, the UN Charter, regional peace and international cooperation”. * * * _More to follow._

i have been to SMDA. In fact I went during BB season and posted screen caps of Butter Beans. Found that post somewhere at the beginning of the season. Pretty city but kind of a disney version of MX

GDL is a very big city. They call it the silicon valley of MX for all the tech companies here

It’s essentially an expansion of the SMDA, signed in 2025

And as for the rest... it is the region's problem, not the US one. They want to stop Iran's proxies? Nothing prevents them from doing so. The SMDA+ (extended, Egypt, Turkey) is perfectly capable to do this. Rocket program? Israel's problem, they can get help from the UAE and others.

A Secretaria Municipal de Desenvolvimento Agrário (SMDA) de Brejo Santo, divulgou a programação da Exposição e Feira de Agronegócios da Expobrejo 2026. Integrando a programação da 12ª edição do festival, o evento será realizado entre os dias 23 e 30 de agosto, no Parque de Eventos Mário Leite Tavares, e sediará a 7ª Etapa do Circuito Cearense de Exposições, com R$ 150 mil em premiações. Pela primeira vez, Brejo Santo integra o Circuito Cearense de Exposições, iniciativa promovida pelo Sistema Faec/Senar que reúne nove dos principais eventos agropecuários do Ceará. A etapa no município contará com julgamentos de bovinos, caprinos e ovinos, reunindo criadores de diversas regiões do estado e também de Pernambuco, Paraíba, Piauí e Rio Grande do Norte. Segundo o secretário municipal de Desenvolvimento Agrário, Edjanio Felinto, a expectativa é que a edição deste ano alcance números históricos tanto na exposição quanto na geração de negócios. "Além da premiação de R$ 150 mil para os animais que participarão das competições, nossa expectativa é que a comercialização ultrapasse R$ 1,5 milhão apenas na venda de animais. Somando a feira gastronômica, os produtos da agricultura familiar, o artesanato e os demais segmentos, esperamos movimentar cerca de R$ 2,5 milhões durante o evento. Também teremos a participação de criadores de várias regiões do Ceará e de estados vizinhos, consolidando uma das maiores feiras de animais já realizadas em Brejo Santo", destacou. A programação técnica começa no dia 26 de agosto, com a recepção, admissão e fiscalização sanitária dos animais inscritos. Entre os dias 27 e 29, a pista de julgamento receberá as avaliações zootécnicas e os julgamentos de argola das raças bovinas, caprinas e ovinas. A Expobrejo 2026 também investirá na qualificação dos produtores rurais. Em parceria com o Sistema Faec/Senar Ceará e o Sindicato Rural, a Carreta Agro oferecerá oficinas e cursos gratuitos, incluindo capacitações sobre alimentação de cavalos atletas, pilotagem de drones aplicada ao agronegócio e educação alimentar. O encerramento da feira agropecuária acontece no dia 30 de agosto, com a entrega das premiações aos criadores e expositores que obtiverem os melhores resultados durante a exposição. De acordo com a Secretaria Municipal de Desenvolvimento Agrário, a expectativa é ocupar totalmente os pavilhões do Parque de Eventos Mário Leite Tavares, com mais de 350 bovinos e mais de 400 animais entre ovinos e caprinos, consolidando a maior edição da Exposição e Feira de Agronegócios já realizada em Brejo Santo.

So sweet. And maybe she got exactly what she wanted here, too. Well played, SMDA.

The SMDA was widely interpreted as an informal arrangement providing a Pakistani nuclear shield for Saudi Arabia, with Pakistani officials explicitly hinting that their nuclear capabilities "will be made available"this will no longer be needed as much as saudi arabia will have its own nuclear

The landmark U.S.–Saudi civilian nuclear agreement is poised to significantly reshape, and potentially strain, the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) signed between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in September 2025.

Folks, here I thought red states would administer pregnancy tests to women LEAVING their states in case they were getting an abortion in a free state, but now the US will be giving pregnancy tests to all women ENTERING the US in case they might give birth to a citizen. 🤷🏽‍♂️

My hopes lie in the systems of alliances. They are a new element, which did not exist in the XIX century. EU, ECOWAS, Mercosur, Arab League, SMDA - are based in the idea that "together we are stronger" and offer some protection to countries inside - at least the top ones.

protecting them. The EU must be able to protect itself.

Can we not use the same idea here, in the Gulf? The new alliance around the SMDA, which includes Turkey and Egypt, are more than enough, together with the overlapping GCC, to present the same threat to Iran: Block any of the Straits,⬇️

These same people overwhelmingly believe that a man born to a virgin walked on water and turned water into wine before rising from the dead after 3 days — yet when counting votes in an overwhelmingly democratic city results in a MAGA-doofus reality TV star’s loss, it is a bridge too far

One thing ppl still do not realise is that there is a new kid in town: the SMDA. If you see one of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey or Egypt - expect the other three not to be far away. They are coordinating themselves now, from Sudan to Somalia, from Yemen to Ukraine. So, when Saudi Arabia⬇️

Expect the rest of the Alliance to follow suit, I'd wager.

I mean Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan. See my little map below.

Some would say "Russia goes, China comes", I see it more nuanced. Russia goes, SMDA+ comes. And SMDA+ making military deals with Ukraine is no China puppet.
