Has pakistan made a mistake by retaliating?

[maverick1977]

Has Pakistan made a mistake by retaliating and downing an Indian fighter jet and parading and humiliating the pilot in front of the whole world? Can they afford a wounded and a humiliated enemy who is 7 times their size snd especially at a time when pakistan is going through such a severe economic crisis?
Indian govt wanted to calm the people down after the pulwama attack and they sketched a plan wherein there wont be any loss of life on pakistani side but would make people here in india believe that they had taken revenge on terrorists.
I heard Imran khan later saying on TV that he told the chief of army that they were not going to retaliate as there was no loss of life...what had changed suddenly for him to give his consent for an attack?
I personally believe Pakistan made a mistake by humiliating India in such a way at this moment given what it is going through...they should have simply denied any attack happening and taken the media to the spot and shown the reality...Thinking indians and the world would have any bought the real story.

idiot.... coming out with a stupid *** statement... own it that your arse was handed to you

And, how did that shake the confidence of the government in the army ? It was pretty normal stuff that goes on. Regular stuff.




I am not reading all that. We all know the Pakistani and Indian version of events. i am gonna rely on the neutral version.

What happened was that India had to stand down because of the quick release of the pilot by Pakistan. It took away India moral right and justification to respond to 27th Feb. If you seriously think that losing one 2nd generation fighter jet will make India stand down against Pakistan, you are living in lala land.

You can take a cue from the past aggressions between India and Pakistan.

Heavy artillery isn’t normal.. most LoC firing by both sides is confined to small arms or in the case of the last flare up heavy mortars.
This was a step up.

Nuclear strike - seriously dude, what are you smoking? You don’t have to threaten with nuke when you have all the big powers on your side.

Conventional missile strike threat - most likely.

The visible results post Balakot drama: Pak cannot as much as sneeze anymore on cross border militancy without the threat of FATF blacklisting and similar punishment. India will ensure relentless pressure till Pak falls in line.

Militancy in Kashmir will die a slow death without material support from across the border. Modi if he comes back to power is never going to agree for talks on Kashmir.

Most important: Pulwama achieved something even Jinnah could not. India and Pak living as two distinctly separate countries without unwanted emotional hangover. We are now just neighbors no different to India and Iran.

Depends on what dung your side lit for their smoke that day. Your PM was completely flabbergasted that day and was actually considering escalating the latter.

The rest of your post is just usual repetitive tripe from your side we disagree with and will continue to.

Yeah but how does that show that the government lost faith in the army ? Nothing happened to lead anyone to such a conclusion.
