Surgical strike:
- If Pak leaders do not respond to reports of surgical strikes by India, it has no effect to the rest of the world, but Pakistanis will see through the facade of bravado that's been built to date by their leaders.
- If Pak leaders say it never happened and then India releases video, they will be proven bumbling fools.
- If it in reality never happened, and it is all a fictional event created by Indians, unless Pakistan is able to prove it never happened, it is as if it happened!
- Any which way Pak leaders have already blundered very seriously : they are caught either in the lie about capturing parts of the strike force (in which case they admit it happened!) or they are caught in the lie about 'it was all just cross border firing'.
Results:
1) Either Raheel Sharief or Nawas Sharief will be gone soon.
2) Some of the many free radicals within Pak military will and will be encouraged to increase forays and sneak-ins in other parts of the long border - it will be a challenge Indian's hopefully are prepared for and exterminate before entry
3) With the Uri attack avenged, the moral of the Indian forces is sky high. Political parties in opposition have responded maturely so far and in turn the Modi govt has shown maturity and respect in terms of advanced briefings
4) The meeting about IWT obviously was a master stroke in maya that has few parallels in history. How do you surprise an enemy who is completely on their toes? by complete mis-direction
I actually hope the surgical strike did not even happen! the results are exactly the same whether it happened or not.
