How can a war be lost without fighting?
The word I used was confrontation, not war. India blinked, Pakistan didn't.
I dunno what entire world thinks about Indian military,but i surely know India earned Kudos for showing restraint by not attacking Pak.
Of course this is always a given, the world has to appreciate someone for backing off the fight, although technically its still ridiculous since India used the "War" word, Pakistan didn't and then India backed off.
Kind of a trend, you know. India went to the UNSC for Kashmir then India backed off, India wanted war in 1999, 2002 and 2008 and in all instances India backed off.
India will earn the kudos till its cried wolf too many times.
U mean when Pak attacks India? Well...remember Kargil?
If u mean India attacking Pak,then it no longer will be a defensive role!
Pakistan's attacks are limited to Kashmir, where its all fair game since its disputed territory - officially not even the border. Whoever controls whatever territory by force, no one is going to feel bad for India for losing say, Srinagar. Its technically perpetual war when it comes to Kashmir since from each's perspective the other has already invaded their territory.
India does not launch 1 missile and wait for you to launch 10 missiles.
Donot even compare your forces with India as far as conventional warfare is concerned.
Actually time and time again articles are filled with Pakistan's missile preparedness and readiness, I don't say it the world does.
In other areas even though Pakistan may be behind India, India is nowhere near the level where it can launch an invasion of Pakistan and hence it always talks of surgical strikes.
Pakistan however has made it clear, that any surgical strike would be followed by a butcher's strike in response. Response would be disproportionate. India knows this, the US in fact advised India about this the last time around - just to confirm the obvious. Read the thread "How India debated going to war".
Just bcoz some Indian soldiers crossed the border u will use nukes..?? :o Then why are u not using them when the taliban are crossing the ****** border on a daily basis?
Don't draw parallels between yourself and an insurgent, nation-less group. It would be unwise to comment about the intensity of strikes any further other than the fact that nukes would come into play when push comes to shove. Its not for show, you know.
Pakistan is not alone in this assessment. If by any freak incident the US is invaded by say Chinese forces, the US too would opt to use nukes. Thats why the US also maintains a first use policy
Still if you use them,U\'ll be getting a volley of 45kw nukes for every 25 kw nuke..with a message...from India..with Love
Again some more empty saber rattling. Again you're making a very big assumption on the intensity of a nuke attack on India, you don't know what capabilities you'd be left with after a Pakistani first strike. You may not even be left with a semblance of government, GHQ, economy.
India has been given the option if nukes bother you so much, don't go to war. If you want to go to war, then go in whole heartedly.
