All the diplomatic backlash Pakistan faced on 26th simply vanished on 27th bcs what the world thought that India is some power was crushed by PAF. Everyone went to back channels trying to stop a nuke conflict. Believe me what ever be the diplomatic targets, having a nuke card is never one of them. So as we said, we always controlled the escalation ladder not the Indians, and thats a diplomatic manouver not military one.
Secondly, IAF exactly knew their shortcomings and same with the PAF. Believe me you wont see any difference in the OEMs. Because it was the employment that screwed up.
And then whats this rubbish that India won because they learned a lesson??? I guess we learned also due to Ballakot strike. Primarily our deterrence failed and now the ROE, deployment of assets and weaponry will see a major improvement to stop this becoming a new norm before every election
This is what we have already given up:
1. Material support to the Kashmir cause. The PTI government will only make ineffective, feel good noises and Modi understands this.
2. Further acceptance and confirmation by our top leadership that we have terrorist groups and we need to do more.
3. Not even a whimper in the Security Council about India's aggression against us. In today's world, unilateral action against another state is the purvey of a very closed group of powers such as America, France, and Russia. India just joined that club. Look around and see what happens when you are aggressive outside the boundaries of your own country. Saddam Hussain is gone. Iran has America knocking on its doorstep. Russia has had CAATSA imposed on it. Yet not a single word against India. Instead, France, Britain, and America stood shoulder to shoulder with India to once again show Pakistan in a bad light. The matter of Maulana Masood Azhar is a bilateral issue between Pakistan and India. But siding with India to declare him a global terrorist, these powers have openly declared support for Indian narrative, despite blatant Indian aggression.
4. Terror attack happens in India, it attacks Pakistan. Terror attack happens in Pakistan against Navy and PAF personnel, and no action against India. And to add salt to injury, on the one hand Indian foreign minister speaks to SMQ, and on the other hand Modi gives cold shoulder to IK in his swearing in ceremony. And your PM is making excuses that it's just Indian politics. I have said this before: no shame amongst the shameless, no indignity amongst the dishonorable.
And I can tell you what is the root cause of all this. India has you by the balls in FATF. This terrorist nation that sent Kalbhushan Jadhav, is sitting in the APG, deciding whether Pakistan has done enough against terrorist financing.
Here is what could be done differently. After Feb 27 when world leaders tried to diffuse tensions, we should have labelled India as an aggressor and demanded a declaration of truce by India. We should then have made the case that this nation is irresponsible and a war monger, and has no place in prestigious bodies such as FATF.
But we have a lame duck, impotent leadership who are mentally subjugated in front of their Western masters. They just have to say "Jump" and our leadership asks "How high?". That's the real problem.
