For the Pakistani's please note a few things. At end of the day much of what is being played out is propaganda and the perception out there in the world. Both countries will not go down the path of war as that will lead to nuclear holocaust. So all we are left with is the posturning which we saw over the last few days. What matters is hard facts. Rest is all all hot air. Rest of the world is not going to sit there and have a court hearing lasting days revieving forensic evidence. Hard facts is all that matter. Rest is hot air. So where do we stand?
- India threatened and postured to teach Pakistan a lesson.
- India then carried out a ingress in Pak airspace which led to 1.4 billion Indian's having collective climax.
- Pakistan then just as promised retaliated.
- One Indian fighter was shot down with images across the internet
- One Indian pilot crashed in Pakistan and was about to get lynched by angry civilians
- Indian pilot was saved by Pak Army
- Right now he is under arrest in care of Pakistan and recieving tiolet training.
- One Indian air asset crashed in IOK killing 5 aircrew.
Picture says thousand words.
Just look at these hard facts. If you read international media this is what is being shown. Instead of Pakistan being punished all you see in the international media is India slapped and chastised by Pakistan with the videos of captured Indian pilot graphically bring home that point.
So guys. We won the propaganda war. In front of the world instead of Pakistan being bent over you see a Indian pilot conveying the #Indiagetslapped. This is all that matters. I think this matter now is de-escalating and Pakistan will walk away with a grin on it's face. Nobody can say Pakistan was humbled. Instead the country that was flexing it's muscles has been bent over. Modi stands publicly raped.
Instead of Indiuan military coming back as victors who taught Pakistan a lesson tomorrow you will see a defeated, broken pilot coming back. This about sums it up.
I think now there will be real pressure on India and Pakistan to sort out Kashmir. And Kashmiri's will have been emboldened seeing the wrecks of Indian aircraft.
Guys
"we won this round"
Nothing sums this better then this BBC report. Instead of headlines being "Pakistan punished" the headline reads - this says it all who is on top.
Pakistan 'to free Indian pilot on Friday'

You opened your air traffic? Lol go and see flight radar24. Except Pakistanis everyone is traveling
Pakistan is a smaller country. Most of our major airports, major urban hubs, major air traffic generating areas are within 100 miles of the LOC. This includes Islamabad Airport, Lahore Airport, Peshawar Airport.
Whereas all of India is distant and your major hubs are half a thousand or even thousand miles distant. That explains the closure.
