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.
