We haven't avenged the deaths of the Pulwama attack.
What constitutes an 'avenging' as per you?
We haven't deterred Pakistan from any future attacks.
In near term, you are quite wrong. Long term, I agree, if we do not play our cards correctly.
The impact of Balakot strike was quickly neutralized.
In what way, may I know?
Can you tell me the cost of maintaining an army in forward deployment as opposed to routine peace deployment?
We have been beaten in the perception war.
Whose? Your perception? Does it count?
That's just some imagination to soothe the frailed ego.
No ego, neither frail nor soothing. Did I say ever that war is going to take place? Read every post of mine here. Let me know
IK enhanced his standing significantly as a statesman by releasing the pilot.
As per DG ISPR and PDF fanboys. Please let me know why is there a solid crackdown going on in Pakistan? Do you buy their into their nonsense of pre-planned crackdown? And at this tempo?
It got lots of brownie points for Pak and painted them as the mature yet confident party
Says only you, not the diplomatic corps of nations directly dealing. Disclaimer: have a relative in MEA quite well into the system.
immediately responding to our attack on their soil > shooting our jet > capturing and returning the pilot. They couldn't write a better script if they wanted to.
Neither was unexpected, save the mistake of the pilot which is increasingly turning into an opportunity well taken, as F-16s have been nailed. Data has been shared with US. Why do you think till date US has not denied their use? They may not have accepted a loss of F-16 .....
Or in other words, nothing changed. Everyone's doing what they always have.
What radical change did you expect? Mr Modi to pick up a 84 mm Carl Gustav Mk 3 RL and head out with a couple of HE/HEAT rounds a la Mr Sunny Deol of Border fame style? Or did you expect that Ms Nirmala Seetharaman will sit in the Su-30 MKI with Mr Bhamre as WSO, firing away Brahmos into Pakistan? Or perhaps, maybe Ms Yami Gupta actually being a RAW agent with General Bipin standing in some control room looking at feed from a bird?
Those whose job is what has been defined, will continue to do their job. The difference is in intent. And tempo.
The bit about China is clearly BS just like your last posts about China 'cutting its losses'.
Let me know the transfer of funds by China in past 1 month (aka since 14 Feb 2019). Will wait.
So we're finally doing what we should have always done. Fantastic
Of course, and those who cower in fear and trepidation at the sight of blood might best rethink if they are fit to serve their country.
This, the bold, after you have served yours in uniform and continue to do so? Mind you, it is specific to uniform I ask, for I believe each and every citizen of India serves their country in the best way possible according to their abilities (or what they think to be possible in cases like Mr. Digvijay Singh)
By the ways, just curious, have you? If not, if you are below 42 years of age, why don't you seriously apply for Territorial Army? May be you can do something that successive generations have not been able to do? What say?[/QUOTE]
