2n this @ImranKhanPTI was is & will his dying breath be a jihadi ISI puppet. That Kashmiri terrorists were going to escalate to ISIS style attacks, was imminent. The UPA kept this in check by @PChidambaram_IN's brilliant policy of throwing money at Baloch separatists & allowing
3n them to set Pakistan on fire. This government stopped that policy & I had warned about the consequences way back in 2014 & then again in 2015. The problem is we have limited state options. On one hand we believe in ground retaliation for ground attacks. This is foolish,
4n because the power differential on the ground will always be the hardest to exploit despite massive mismatch in budgets, technology & force & equipment numbers in favour of India (see what happened to the US in Vietnam, Afghanistan & Iraq). This is why from day 1, I've been..

9n it is these same mombattiwallah cluckheads, who don't understand the fundamental DILEMMA of engaging Pakistan. IF we TALK & things go well the ISI will order attacks to DERAIL it. IF we DONT talk, they'll order attacks to force us onto the table. The only solution as ...
10n Cato the Elder put it was "Carthago Delenda Est" or Pakistan must be Destroyed. Sadly we neither have the brains or balls to do anything & will get these insufferable intellectual prostitutes to tell us "NOW is the time for peace, current PM & current army chief seek peace"
11n so the next time someone runs an idiotic piece asking for dialogue, negotiations or "peace", could you PLEASE do me a favour & give them a solid biff up the hooter
