PA funds, arms and provides direct fire support to 'irregulars' to kill Indian troops. When we loose an Indian soldier, the equivalent is a dead Pakistani soldier.

What makes you think that is not the case?

By Pakisani counter-strike on Indian soil and the drama that followed thus returning status quo.
Does it have to be repeated ad nauseam?

Your logic has been same for now two years is it? But never a concrete answer. I invited @Star Wars to work out a detailed scenario presenting options. He will when he has time, why not you try at it? Post in the Opinion written by me Imposing Costs: India's War on Terror. Look for the thread and put forth your points. Let us see them. Rhetorics are the easiest to indulge one's self in.

Oh no. Didn't realize I was talking to the Supreme Leader, The All-Father, The General, The Lodestar of the 21st Century.


In a democracy, the majority view is the Supreme Leader, the All Father etc etc, deal with that.

Oh wait. It's just another Internet warrior.


How very apt. Will come back to this.


There is no crackdown. Just house arrests and shifting to Police-protected guesthouses (Jails). This is nothing new or ground-breaking. All of them will be released as soon as the pressure is lifted following another 'diplomatic victory for India'.

Your usual approach of being unable to understand anything around you. What? When did this happen?

Told you serve your country. But you remain that character who cheers the country to war and heads in the other direction when the clouds gather. :D Not new approach of yours

The admission of the lost F16 will come when the whole situation has cooled off and no-one but jobless enthusiasts on the internet care for it. In the meanwhile, Pakistan has the bragging rights.

Now, you are jealous of Pakistani's bragging rights' eh? Yup ... jobless enthusiasts indeed.... why, wish you could afford to be online forever? ;)

No country, especially not China, has changed its position on terrorism/stan. Thus making that entire quote of yours moot.

And this is of course through the link I just posted above.

No I haven't. No I am not going to.
And no, that will not stop me from exposing the gaps in yours or anyone else's logic on here.

Deal with it.


Oh, now what did you say earlier?

Oh wait. It's just another Internet warrior.


You are boring me already :D
 
I dont know if we are missing this, but.. despite China's "technical hold" and despite any news,
I have not seen even one news item condemning India for going into Pak and bombing it.

Not one ofMuslim countries, nor China has condemned India for going into Pak and dropping bombs.

For the present, I'd reserve comment. But I do see certain similarities.

Please read my earlier posts. China supports Pakistan and North Korea as they are its extended arms thru which it is keeping the top three economies tied down and also keeping itself safe. What happens the day we take out Pakistan? I had written that as of now we have a triangle of forces between India-Pakistan-China. The moment Pakistan is gone, it becomes a straight line and a simple equation. In simple equation we have far superior tactical advantage over China. China fears this and so will support Pakistan even after making statements of being neutral in case of a war. They can't afford to be neutral. They will lose far bigger in terms of Geostrategy and domination in this part oif the world. China will become a nation locked down by far stronger enemies from all sides and their dream of taking over Taiwan will never fructify with a very strong India to its south. AND India which will have no enemies except China once we take out Pakistan. Was it not the reason that they gave Pakistan Nuke bomb design and also tested it? Was it not the reason why they transferred missile tech to Pakistan? We take out Pakistan and we will call off the bluff of China. It is as simple as that.
 
Pakistan just killed 44 Indian soldiers in a single attack. What did we do? Kill some 2 bit jihadi scum? Even if it was 300 of them, you call that avenging our dead? No, that's just cowardice.

So it's okay for Indian Armed Forces to be perceived as incompetent buffoons? For PA the fact that they so handsomely 'won' the round in the eyes of their domestic and non-Indian International audience just encourages them to further their proxy war. Had they been embarrassed, that would have likely caused rethink.

So what did this strike achieve anyway. Stopped a couple of attacks for a couple of months? Was that the objective?
Uhhh..
To be honest, we only know what has been shown to us or someone pointed where we should look. Details of what has been ongoing will emerge only decades later. There are details of '71 war which emerged only after creation of B'desh.

This is why I believe, "We don't know what has been achieved."

Lastly, at worst we may have another '62 moment right now. A conflict which lead to build-up of India's capability. We didn't loose anything strategic in '62 conflict but came out much stronger later. This was apparent in '67's Chola incidence and later much more apparent in '71's conflict.

Remember, for a country victory and defeat is measured are only in terms of strategic goals. This is why Pakistan never won any wars with India. They never realized any strategic goals. Rest all are narratives. Words are not even worth a dime a dozen.

So how is the mood in Pakistan over this kerfuffle? What is the 'view from the ground'?
Regarding the IAF strike, there is absolute public consensus that IAF 'released' payloads in a 'hurry' and 'ran' away. ISPR's narrative is unchallenged so far, even from the worst critics. There were major angry sentiments on the day of the strike that how did the IAF even penetrate Pakistani airspace, but they were dispelled after DG ISPR described the tactics of IAF (parallel technical violations over Bahawalpur-Okara & Lahore-Sialkot sectors), and said that as soon as PAF approached the Muzaffarabad sector, IAF 'ran' away.
Of course IAF violated LoC for just a couple kms before releasing the SOWs and turning back, unchallenged.

Regarding the PAF strikes,
the public morale is sky-high. There is a mood of celebration because PAF retaliated with 'full force', penetrated across LoC unchallenged, hit multiple targets and brought down the MiG-21 which came inside our airspace. There's also public frenzy regarding a Su-30MKI which PAF supposedly brought down. Then there's the whole tea-party fiasco, and following that PM Khan's decision to release the Wing Commander Abhinandan for 'peace'...this was all extremely well received by the Pakistani public.
However there are still questions regarding the missing pilot(s), which are being answered by the Israeli conspiracy theory. Nobody is talking about a possibly crashed PAF jet. And the AMRAAM evidence is being countered by the 'Tiawan' conspiracy theory, probably an attempt to fool the Americans.

Then there's the international media's somewhat support of the Pakistani narrative (i.e. missed Balakot strike proofs, no proof of downed F-16, no criticism of PAF's retaliatory strike, appreciation of the release act, PM Khan's persistent posture for peace etc). India also didn't respond to the PAF's 'massive' strike on the 'non-military' targets. There's also still lack of acknowledgment of support of the militant groups, the public believes that they're freedom fighters and their actions are justified.
As you said, a better script couldn't have been written. Although it would've been even better if there was no acknowledgment of the second/third pilot in the first place.

Lety me tell you something which will sooth your nerves. Indians are just making a fool of the world. We never attacked any target in Pakistan. Our aircraft which flew into Pakistan were flown by Israeli Pilots with Indians as back seaters. Two Su-30MKIs were shot down by Mooshak aircraft of PAF wherein the pilots of Mooshak Aircraft used their pistols to down the two SU-30MKIs. Indians had collected the scarp of the AMRAAM used by PAF during training and shown it as having been used against IAF Mig-21 flown by Wg. Cdr. Abhi. The truth is that this Indian pilot wanted to defect to Pakistan and convert to Islam and was shot down by Indians themselves as is evident from the rebellion by Sikhs in the Indian Army.

NOW CAN YOU PLEASE MOVE ON AND BE HAPPY?
Oh I'm completely at peace. It doesn't seem like its my nerves which are being struck. Its sad to see 'professionals' losing composure, as they're precisely the ones who should be the last to do so. But I guess I understand the reason, having watched some of GD Bakhshi.

I have not lost composure. I am conceding a point to you.

Check the history of air violations around loc in last 15 years..... Tell me when did PAF responded with a response of a 24 jet formation ad and crossed LOc (Even if it was 1)..... Why did ISPR tweeted at 4 am ? Why did ISPR changed it statement twice ?(Just because you consider ISPR to be the gospel of truth)....

There are lot more to the story.

I described the public sentiment using DG ISPR's statements, I didn't say it was my opinion. I've clearly stated my personal opinion several times.
I don't consider them to be the gospel of truth, rather I believe that the truth lies somewhere in the between the two lies.

The worst part of trying to find the truth and sticking to the facts is that EVERYBODY starts getting aggressive at some point, regardless of which side of the border you're on. I guess it was rightly said, that truth hurts.

But tell me, what's different in this narrative and the ones leading to the build up and during the 1965, 1971 & 1999 wars. Weren't such triumphalist narratives generating public hubris common all through, only to come crashing down particularly in 1971.You ought to refer to the post above your own. Unless of course, post facto strategic goals are about fighting an adversary 7 times your size to a standstill & is & has been the plan all along.Isn't it deja vu all over again?
 
Remember Pakistani diplomats Comparing shivsena with lakshar-e-toiba .....................................yes you read it right.
Don't bother... He was critical to army before and has leant his lesson in a very hard way..... He was worried more about the death of crow but did not bother to ask to show the madrassah...... Currently he is a PA fanboy albeit a forced one....
