The justifications are that these consulates are being used to provoke terror activities against Pakistan.
This is believed ONLY by Pakistan and none other, as of yet not one neutral observer has indicted RAW, so you may have difficulty in convincing world over your approach. In addition, without a clear cut and established cause, you stand being isolated and infact may face combined military stirkes from other countries who may take your attack as being too destabilising.
And in case of b
How would India ratalite ? By concentrating forces on the border or a few 100 rounds of artillary or worst case scenario it will launch surgical strikes. Plz tel me that do you think that we are sitting ducks ready to be bombed. PakArmy shal also respond to that Indian retaliation apropriately.
actually if you get around to thinking about India's moves, you shall see that post 26/11 attacks at Mumbai, there was hardly any concentration of troops on border with Pakistan. Apart from few formations which remained on extended deployment and movement of few air assets, the remaining Indian strike corps had only moved certain elements in case of a political decision. There was no political decision for strikes and these formations were told to stand down. Its a SOP for any army to prepare grounds for rapid escalation in assets in case of decision for war., a very important and initial step in conflict management.
Although militarily there was no move, the British as also Americans warned Pakistan publicly that India was hours away from air strikes and they had to act urgently and cooperate. This was a coercive diplomacy and India used it fully, in the end isolating GoP which denied involvement of Pakistani Nationals initially. The result is there for you to see. Today you have ended up banning LeT (your freedom fighters) and they in turnm have tied up (reportedly) with TTP and you see the chaos in Pakistan. In short 26/11 is being paid for, by Pakistan afterall, but with minial Indian casualties.
Comon you guys definately dont want your key cities to be anhiliated for the cause of those dam consulates in Afghanistan ? Or do you ?
Do you think its so easy for PA to order nuclear strikes? present COAS of PA is a rational man ...... so not so easy. You strike and be assured not only India but quite a lot of nuclear armed nations will strike back.
India is shining and we want it to shine even brighter but atleast not in Afghanistan
I agree. We also dont want our economic progress to be tied down by Pakistan which is on border of anarchy and chaos today. The fact that while PA is made up of rational people while giving us reassurance of no irrational acts being taken, do not necessarily make us relax that some fanatic does not come to power by coup (which is as common in Pakistan as maybe a chocolate) and takes control of nukes. Pakistan is declining - with extended periods of political and now socio-security instability with declining economic progress further accentuated by economic crisis. There is not much to live for in Pakistan anyways .... until and unless a radical change occurs. And so you are right, we definitely have more to loose than you.
