Operation Sindoor: Pakistan Promises Action

Things will become worse before it becomes better. After tonight바카라s action, Pakistan will retaliate. De-escalation will follow only after that.

India has done what it had promised to do following  the terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 holiday makers in Kashmir.  As far as India is concerned "Justice has been done.바카라바카라 

The scale of the missile strikes have been much larger than they were in 2016 and 2019 and reports from Pakistan say that atleast seven people were killed. The operations were carried out from Indian soil.

Everyone expected India to take action. US President Donald Trump told reporters "Just heard about it. We knew something will happen. Hope it ends very quickly.바카라바카라 Soon after the attack, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval was on the phone to US secretary of state Marco Rubio and briefed him on the action taken against terror infrastructure in Pakistan바카라 Punjab province and in POK.  

India has done what  Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised to do so. The India part is over for now. India said that its action have been focused and precise and designed to be non-escalatory in nature. 

Pakistan Will Respond

The question now is what will be Pakistan바카라s response? Pakistan regards this as an act of war, in fact an unprovoked act of war, that will not go unanswered.  Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called India바카라s action a  cowardly act. Pakistan says that India has given no evidence to prove what it claims. It has denied any links to the Pahalgam terror strikes.

Pakistan and its army chief Asim Munir cannot let India바카라s action go unanswered. The army has always been regarded in Pakistan as the protector of the country, an institution that delivers.  In the last several years, the army has lost much of its shine for ordinary people. This is the army바카라s opportunity to retaliate and win back people바카라s trust.

Whatever happens  General Munir cannot agree to de-escalation with first responding to India바카라s military action. Pakistan바카라s military spokesman Lt General  Ahmed Sharif,  was on CNN claiming that India had hit civilian targets, including mosques in two places. Ahmed Sharif called the Indian attack an ``unprovoked act of war.바카라바카라 Pakistan claimed that minutes after the missiles hit, Pakistani Airforce jets scrambled and shot down two Indian fighter jets, but New Delhi has not confirmed this.

The international community will now get into action to calm tempers as fears of war between the two-nuclear armed neighbours  now seem very real.  Trump  and other world leaders will work the phone lines as they try to bring down the temperature and ensure that the two sides do not go into full scale war.

Earlier in the day, Ambassador KP Fabian had told Outlook,

"India is likely to carry out one or more Balakot type or Balakot plus strikes. India is unlikely to start a war as it does not want war. However, Pakistan , given the weak leadership it has at military and civilian levels- to put it in order of importance- might not be averse to project that it is willing and able to take on India and for that reason violate the cease-fire lines and the two countries might stumble into a war.바카라 But he also added `Such a war will not last for more than a few days as Washington, Moscow, and Beijing will insist on a ceasefire and talks. The three will prevail.바카라
