There is no “national shame” if Indian troops were indeed detained by Chicoms or that 5000 have intruded, that ppl are being so defensive. Reports say, they were released quickly along with weapons.THAT is the real point. Assuming the reports to be true, why did they release?
a-they thought it could escalate.
b-we warned them & they didn’t want an escalation
c-We too had some chicoms in our custody?
Regardless, it’s a small win for us. Good for infowar.
Downplaying their aggression will only lead to more aggression. It’s not as if we are not giving them in kind. Remember COAS said we were aggressive (he shouldn’t have said that). Selective info is handy for infowar. No info leads to a vaccum that enemy can use against us
