- Others might find your posts annoying or even comical, but your point of view is quite interesting for you are a regular poster on here, and possibly one of the best reflections of what the common Indian is thinking/feeling at this moment.
-Based off your posts, it seems that the Indian Gov has successfully been able to rationalize the loss of almost a billion dollars worth of equipment to its janta. With that, India might be searching for an off ramp at this point, now that it can say that we've delivered the message and avenged phalgam and not only that, they've set a new norm in place with the IWT/strikes.
-Except there is another component to this very story that most people are forgetting, India has squarely been targeting civilians, its original strike was on kids/civilians and apart from 1-2 drone strikes. Every time the IA or IAF has faced the PA/PAF in this exchange, they've received massive losses. So while the common Indian might be satisfied, what about the Indian soldier/pilot, whose morale has been decimated knowing full well that, they took their best shot with every advantage in the book and still got owned in the process. Where is their morale at? The fact that India is resorting to drones and has stopped using IAF "proper" is a telling fact.
- Lastly, on our response. You say that you're waiting, more or less making this assertion that a response will not come. You are free to believe what you want, but go ask your Israeli friends, it is their playbook that is on display over here. Go back to how Israel responded to the Iran strikes, how much time they took and what they did when they actually responded. You've done all what you can, citizens like yourself have rationalized the losses you have taken in material and are looking for this chapter to close, except that its not. The question remains of multiple calls by PA that it will respond in a time and place of its choosing. Just like India, Pakistan will choose what they deem is the best opportunity and make the theater as favorable for the people taking part in the engagement while mentally draining the opposing army/airforce which is already drained when it comes to morale.
