There are lot of learnings from ukraine war for India. Replace pakistan with ukraine minus nukes , we are in the same situation. Any govt in India which releases pressure on pakistan due to push from west will pay a big price.
That's what I call a patsy. For India, it's Pakistan. For China, it's Vietnam. For Russia, it's Ukraine. For America, it's Iran. Make the patsy behave in a certain way, and you get the target country to behave in the way you want.
