I'm always skeptical when I see the keywords 'isolated', 'strategic' and other such stuff, especially when it is uttered by Indian media. Let's say Pakistan is facing some heat on all its borders, even then, what strategic pressure does it add on Pakistan at the central leadership level? A few expendable pawns being killed here and there will not bother them. Pakistan being isolated because Bhutan and Bangladesh wont attend SAARC is no real isolation. Just watch BBC, Britain is back to their dirty games against India, same with the US. The only time someone can legitimately use the word 'isolated' is when Pakistan faces the heat from a powerful nation like US, or China or Russia. Even Russia claimed to cancel POK drills but they still went ahead with the drills elsewhere. Even then everyone was rejoicing, claiming that Russia boycotted Pakistan. So, Indians are used to hyping things and premature celebration over little things.
Our's was a tactical strike. Period. What political goals were achieved due to the strike? has it changed the strategic calculus in any way? If the aim was to threaten the world with the prospect of an India-Pakistan war, even OP Parakram achieved more than what these tactical strikes have achieved, and yet people consider OP Parakram as a failure. What everyone knows about OP Parakram is that there was massive mobilization, and that it took a lot of time to do so, therefore it failed. What many people don't know is that India planted a massive 1 million land mines on the border as part of OP Parakram. It was a feat in itself. If we had done something similar this time, it'd have been great. Just make short trips into Pakistani territory and lay a massive number of mines inside their territory. Deny them the freedom of movement. Then start shelling them with artillery from 40km away and watch the fun as the pigs run here and there to save their lives and blow themselves up over landmines!
~40~100 Pakistanis killed? ye bhi koi revenge hoti hai? Do you really expect catharsis from this? More people die in college gang wars in Bihar than this! (more people died in 2002 than this!) Look at the nature of provocation and compare it with the nature of our response. Is the damage contextually commensurate? The death toll has to suit our international stature. Just use artillery, don't go for surgical strikes. The whole nation of Pakistan has cancer, no surgery can help it, it needs amputation.
No I haven't mentioned Indian media, here, what I am saying is ,if their is tension on all borders,except China, then it will pressurise their central leadership, since they will have to divert their army to the troubled area's, in the meantime, India is looking to help those,who are dissatisfied with pak to up the ante inside pak, meaning the most powerful group in pak that is army has got their hands full, look at how Chinese are feeling the heat as far as CPEC is concerned ,regarding pak,I agree this was a tactical measure, but u forgot one thing that ,the operation parakaram was not against pak the nuclear power, this mission was to restore the faith of army into political leadership and faith of public in both, which is very important, on the other hand it will have massive impact on the pak political leadership, their military leadership, the relationship of both and most importantly, their view about Indian leadership and army, you cannot go inside a country and take a wham bam thank you mam approach, like the leadership said this isn't going to be the last action from Indian army and leadership,I can guarantee you that, every procedure needs time, atleast this leadership is taking step, it's not about killing 40-100 terrorists being killed, the point is 1st time in 45 years India has declared that they have crossed loc and killed terrorist, stunning the Pakistan, irrespective of their nuclear bluff, I mean look at the body languages of their leadership and people, watch the reactions of khwaza asif, what his tone was and what his tone is now, unlike pak, India can use sam-dam-dand-bhed,they look shit scared, spooked.
