Re: Operation Sindoor - Bharat Strikes Back: Jai Hind!

Reason why this Ceasefire narrative is not going down well with many in India public---> 1) Many feel damage should have been much more on Pak side... 2) Pakis are going around declaring it as some sort of victory while Indians are very silent about it... 3) There seems to be no regret on Pak side ...

Re: Operation Sindoor - Bharat Strikes Back: Jai Hind!

My sense is, we agree to an off ramp, provided Pak behaves itself. However, IWT work will continue, as will squeezing Pak economically. If Pak fires as much as a bullet, or sends a drone across the LOC, we escalate. Firing across will invite a heavy artillery barrage. Sending 1 drone will get them ...
