> every one gets what they want

India wants Pakistan to end cross-border terrorism. Everyone did not get what they want.

Very recently, there was a terrorist attack in Pakistan too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Jaffar_Express_hijackin...

The attackers are allegedly backed by India.(India denies this, just like Pakistan deny involvement with the attacks in India).

So probably these bombings won’t solve anything as the issues appear to be a much more complicated. Therefore it is possible that everyone got what they need from these bombings.

India is likely to authorize more such strikes if terror attacks continue on its territory.

It was not India that harboured Osama Bin Laden for a decade.

And Osama didn't attack India.

India does not want Balochistan. Pakistan wants Kashmir.

There has been zero proof of India ever supporting terrorism. There have been 100's of examples and proofs of Pakistan supporting terrorism.

Name one terrorist from India? Name one terrorist who is NOT FROM PAKISTAN ?

Want me to keep going ?

India wants instability in Pakistan and seeks its fragmentation. It has been trying to promote a revolution in Sindh for a long time. Balochistan is second.

This model was used against Soviets, to break up a nuclear country by ruining it financially then enticing it into war.

India has supported jihadi groups in Kashmir to spur conflict in the country so it can have reasons to wage war. This is proven since late 90s.

India has always been a hostile conquering force, with its seizure of Hyderabad in 1951 and seizure of Sikkim in 1949. OTOH, Pakistan gave up territories with majority Hindu populations if it desired to join India.

Why bother? What do you think would be the HN reaction if the attack in pahalgam played out in any western country? I would love to see CNN and others report about jingoism and nationalism then. CNN still called the terrorists, militants, it's a wierd hatred. The hypocrisy is so strong it's almost inhuman.

This is attempt to draw a false equivalence between two events which does not stand scrutiny. Islamic terrorists are a keystone pillar of Pakistani society, they walk openly and are supported by the state. Plenty of literature around how Pak Army has adopted the proxy war against India.

Unlikely India is involved that much in West Pakistan given the geographical realities.

I agree these bombings won't solve anything though. Essentially just cannon fodder targeted, will be replaced quickly.

Well, Pakistan apparently downed 5 Indian jets, 3 of which are Dassault Rafale. Hardly cannon fodders. There's a billion dollars loss of equipment.

Anyway, I don't know much about Pakistan or India's backing of respective terrorists but trying to frame this, or any geopolitical situation as Good vs Evil is always wrong. It's O.K. to pick a side or distance yourself from someone if they do things you find immoral but its never good v.s. evil.

I think it’s early days let’s wait a bit before claiming results, lot of noise.

By cannon fodder I meant the terror camps, nothing will change by targeting that.

And I’m not taking a side at all, I don’t care nor do I have a horse in this race. Just find geopolitics fascinating.
