India attacked Pakistan cause we had abhinandan in the first place? Do you think we are scared of Indian missiles which are not even nuclear capable?
Why did India threatened missile attack and an air strike?
India threatened a Missile attack cause India knew air strike is not possible and Pakistani potential to defend air space is higher. If India had launched a Missile strike before we would have known that the strike was convential or nuclear we would have launched a nuclear one India knew it and we also know it.
These are 2 nuclear armed countries they are not your daily humor jokes. These 2 countries can destroy half of humanity much faster than covid19 can. You people are thinking so small. Do you even know how nuclear deterance works?
you my friend have changed tag rapidly. In this effort you accepted that the Indians threatened us at the time we released Abhi. So war wasn't over. First you said we released him due to the treaty. Now you have thrown the argument of treaty obligations and that of Geneva Convention in to the dustbin. Not very good going in a debate.
Now look at your new arguments.
1- India attacked us first on 26th Feb, correct!! Was their attack an act of WAR!!
2- Pakistan then attacked India on 27th Feb in response, was Pakistani attack an act of WAR!! For your argument that Abhi was a PoW, the above two had to be acts of war. Otherwise there was no chance that Abhi was Pow.
3- Now comes the question, if we knew India has declared war on 26th, if not earlier, why we didn't order shooting down of Indian jets across the border!! Why we were worried that it would be declaration of war , when war was already underway!!
4- If war was not underway on 26th, Why Pakistani retaliated!! Only Pakistan's retaliation became act of war that as a consequence Abhi became PoW!!
5- If war was going on, on 27th Feb, why PAF didn't shot down all 9 Indian jets, they had locked on!! Were they worried about escalation at the minute their retaliation was underway!!
6- You said that if India demanded Abhi's release, it would have perceived to given to Indian demands. I am certain that they were already demanding his release, if you want many clips can be produced about Indian's hue and cry.
7- Missiles were targeting Pakistani sites. As much as we know, the strikes were already planned, but Pakistan got the intelligence and went through their friends to pass the message to India that Pakistan would retaliate 1:3 ratio.
8- Indians deterred from Air Strikes because they knew they would be humiliated. They should have been on both 26th and 27th, we let them off the hook. You and others have repeatedly said, it would have escalated the hostilities. But you yourself are now admitting that Indians were only deterred because of their capacity issues. If they have capacity , they would have attacked.
So why we didn't use our capacity on both days and caused enormous damage to the Indians and set them back for years!!!
