[Waterboy]

Calm and patient contemplation of next steps is what is needed.

Wish that it were so easy. Like I said this has put the military in a very difficult position.

Yes I agree, it’s a shame because this will embolden India. Just what we needed, more Muslim infighting. There is no excuse for this behavior, period. I hate that we as Muslims seem to like sabotaging each other. All information should’ve been handed to Pakistan and Pakistan should have dealt with any supposed terrorists.

I agree with you 100% personally I don’t want to see any conflict between Iran and Pakistan. But the pressure internally right now is very high. Very hard time.

Pretty sure majority of Pakistan didn’t want a conflict with iran. But after this at least a limited measures response is necessary.

This dude is moron and a hatemonger who is propagandist. I wouldn’t accept any tweet from this t**t as analysis.

Natsecjeff is an Israeli asset in Pakistan. No one should take him seriously.

I'm just offering a differing view.

How is that turning the thread into a "shitshow"?

It’s okay, your view is welcome. Just please keep PTI and all that other stuff out of this thread like a certain member did two or three times.

But even after foreign affairs office releasing a weak condemnation, do you think open retaliation is still a possibility?

In this case, he's right.

Swift Retort was ordered by Imran Khan.

Bajwa, the COAS at the time, his legs were shaking in fear.

I highly doubt based on how these COAS's have been churning out they aren't gonna be braveheart

Let’s see how the internal pressures and consequences of not responding pan out. I don’t see any other choice.

 

[VCheng]

Personally the next 48 hours is what has been quoted. Let’s pray for peace.

Even if retaliation or frank war is necessary, it is better to get properly ready first. No knee jerk response is ever good in the long run, no matter how emotionally satisfying for a short period.

 

[Unknowntruth]

In this case, he's right.

I hate to say this but I agree. I would hate to be the one making the decisions. This is a no win situation to be in. Pathetic to think you can just do strikes with no accountability.

 

[Abid123]

The retaliation of swift retort was given a day later.

There is time.

If you think about it, this is a much easier option for PAF. Not only is Iran isolated and has no real ally, but no country would condemn Pakistani retaliation on Iran.

I think the matter is far beyond fear of condemnation. The complication are the tendency towards proxies.

Iran perhaps feels imminently threatened or going on vengeance after the Suleimani blast.
The region as a whole is sitting on a powder keg and last thing anyone would want is to start a bilateral conflict, segwaying into the exiting one in Palestine.
My previous hunch was, after their last attack... using "ballistic missiles" as target practice, capacity demonstration and/or, an exercise in deterrence.

However, this particular one reflects... they perhaps genuinely believed or perceived a threat.

Pakistan though has been playing second fiddle to GCC and didn't step on any toes, less a living beat ... recede into a shell in fear of getting called out.

Anyhow, I don't think Pakistan will do much when they didn't do anything on a much brazen, potentially devastating and perhaps mishap/mistake ultimately of that Brahmos...

So... allow it time to fizzle out.
