The only difference between what you saying and what my point of view is this simple fact, when you strike, you strike with full power, otherwise, it is no deterrent. If according to your argument proportionality is to deter India to impose a full scale war. I am certain, if Pakistan has downed 5/10 Indian jets on 26th and attack on 27th with full force taking out the Indian military targets and if Bipin was in the range, him too. It would have deterred India.
I for one second didn't say anything about Economic condition of Pakistan, we all know about it, therefore there is not much to debate on it. But that like numeric disadvantage is our weakness India is definitely going to exploit. Therefore, in the bigger scheme of things, it is irrelevant what Pakistan thinks and what is there disadvantage. We have actually given the impetus and control of acceleration in to Indians hands by not striking decisively. I have written this before, by striking on 26th and getting away lightly, Indians are under the impression that they have coward Pakistanis to proportional response, and now they are free to escalate it without "Nuclear" threshold breached.
Some of their participants here are already indicated it on this forum.
Now to Economic vows of Pakistan. What Indians have done cleverly that they have spend time and money on Pakistani politicians with the help of their Western allies is to make inroads with Pakistani politicians.
Nawaz and Zardari have caused more damage to Pakistan than the Indians ever could. Nawaz all his 5 years spent to threaten the PA. Same did Zardari whenever he thought he is in the firing line.
Both of them and their henchmen looted Pakistan to their heart's content ,without any fear and check and balances. The whole purpose of them attacking PA was that the army would be under pressure to take any action against them. Guess what they were right, whole time PA and its establishment coward against these two thieves and their 40 men. Still nobody is willing to take them on. Sadly it is reflected in the SCP decision too.
As for LHC and IHC, they are full of Butts appointed crooked judges. They will give Butts all the benefits and clear them from all the charges.
This situation has arisen because
I totally agree with what you have said in the second paragraph.
I have never said that our "proportionality of response" would act as a deterrence for India. India is deterred, from a full-scale aggression against Pakistan, for a variety of other internal and external reasons. One of them is that global powers would never allow for a full-sale war to happen, between India and Pakistan, and they have more than sufficient leverage on both the countries, to ensure this. I again repeat that "proportionality of response" is our compulsion, not our choice. If we forego this path, under the prevailing circumstances; it may prove to be disastrous for Pakistan. As for India exploiting our weaknesses, sure it is doing that and would keep on doing this; but the solution to this is not in what you are proposing.
