Both sides are now on full alert. No one is going to be trapped. There will have to be a snatch.
We managed to get our bargain chip before the Pakistanis were alerted.
That's the simple truth.
Now the ball is in the Pakistani court. Of course they can hang our guy.
But then they are likely never going to see their guy again.
And once again, they can choose to try and make another snatch.
And likely then the Indian side would respond.
The beauty of this situation is that for a change common people are not going to get hurt.
So the chances of those who could get hurt actually making the call to set in motion a chain of events which would likely lead to them getting hurt in reprisals is very low to nil.
Let's see how things pan out.
I have zero doubt of the outcome.
