With the Indian Air Force’s strike on Balakot, Pakistan, the 35-year Pakistan Army/ISI fantasy of bleeding India with a thousand cuts, using expendable proxies as gun-fodder, has ended. Pakistan needs to make a hard choice now: Find peace with India, or blunder into an escalatory cycle. Low-cost options are over.
Imran Khan must stand up to the Establishment or he’ll fade away, as history shows
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan should reflect on his country’s political history. Every elected leader is inevitably tested with a near-war situation by its military-espionage-jihadi complex. Benazir Bhutto, 1990, Nawaz Sharif in 1999, Asif Zardari/PPP in 2008. Imran’s choice: Stand up to this Establishment, or fade away like the others.
‘Non-military action’ is a clever Indian euphemism
Calling the Indian Air Force strikes in Balakot, Pakistan, a ‘non-military action’ is another example of Indian strategic establishment’s ingenuity at coining gentle euphemisms for deadly operations. It was ‘Police Action’ to describe how the razakars were put down in Hyderabad, 1948, and ‘Peaceful Nuclear Explosion’ for Pokharan-1, 1974.
LOL embarrassing. These over confident Indians were thinking, that Pakistan cannot strike back. Well they did and in worst manner. IAF has been humiliated.
