Well the game of cat and mouse continues... This time the hunter has become hunted...India by attacking Balakot showed the world that they are the aggressors which did not play very well in the eyes of the world. Pakistan retaliated very next day in broad daylight indicating to the world that desperation in regards to survival would only be possible when Lambs become Lions.
India claimed that they have shot down F-16 but also was ready to fire a nuclear missile on Karachi. Unfortunately "the bargaining power" as you call it was displayed far in advance which indicated to the world that the Nuclear Thresh hold is very low. This did not go very well and according to plan for the Indian government as there was mounting pressure both domestically and internationally to solve the dispute of Kashmir. In this Trump was also taken into confidence but according to Trump the only solution was to disclose publicly what had been considered secretive talks, highlighting to the world that India needs to be pressurised in finding a permanent solution. Pakistan on the other hand acted much more maturely and should be given all the conventional support so that the nuclear threshold can be raised.
The baniyas are the ones who are in trouble because on one hand they claim that F-16 was shot down by a 60 year old aircraft and can be taken care off in the future as well still they are desperately trying to stop any further sales or upgrades indicates that they are the ones who are panicking and lowering the Nuclear threshold even further.
Well played baniyas by backstabbing Mother India.
@Tps43 what do you think will the Indians succeed.
