I dunno why so many Indians were bothered by Pakistan viewing India as no 1 threat. It has been like that, and will be like that.
Now from a purely nationalistic point of view, isn't this actually good for us? we are growing economically and it costs us less and less (as a % of GDP) to increase our military edge over Pakistan. On the other hand, their economy is in an uncertain phase, they are suffering from terrorism, and now on top of that these floods will leave lasting damage that will eat away at more funds.
its like the Cold War playing over again. all we have to do is make sure Pakistan demonises us and wastes more resources trying to 'counter' us. Every time i see a thread on buying JF-17, J-10, F-16, U-214 etc, i actually wonder if the Pakistanis are looking at the trap they are diggin for themselves. All of these machines are harming them way more than us. all the while we just focus on economy and let them waste their resources. Like the USSR fell due to economic problems, Pakistan might also bow to the pressure. Our victory should not be in the battlefield, but in their hearts and minds. It should be a victory won without the need for violence.
Economy is the heart blood of the while the military is more like the immune system. You can survive with healthy blood and a weak immune system, but its impossible to survive without healthy blood, no matter how strong your immune system is.
