I am not fear-mongering. My opinion is grounded in the reality that a 2019-style surgical strike won’t achieve much for India — it won’t ease internal pressure or satisfy public demand for a decisive response. This time, their approach feels more calculated and agenda-driven, unlike the impulsive, knee-jerk reaction we saw back in 2019.
Just take a hard look at where we stand today as a country. We’re in a far worse position than we were back then. The GCC no longer has our back, and China is openly furious over the repeated failures to protect their engineers and investments on our soil.
Our armed forces are stretched thin — deployed on multiple fronts externally, and internally bogged down in KPK and Balochistan. From India’s perspective, the timing couldn’t be more ideal. The stars have aligned for them to strike when we’re most vulnerable.
