100 pages of discussions and I'm still searching for someone who can share anaylsis beyond this tactical move of ours.
Military action is only a means of achieving a political outcome. Would really appreciate if someone with foresight can walk us through the mid to long term path available to us.
If after all this, we're back to square one, then what have we achieved really? There has to be *consistent* policy that yields us an outcome we want. Otherwise, our military edge is a just a scoresheet on paper.
Another victory for the enemy is us accepting the status quo in which we continue a cycle of retribution strikes againt each other. And that is where we stand at the moment despite our tactical superiority on the ground.
Is Pakistan seeking to establish a new normal of striking inside Afg (as a routine), bcz the TTP attacks aren't stopping we all know that. If yes, then what will this new normal achieve for us, and can we absorb the costs (political, diplomatic, financial, internal) of such a new normal with Afg?
