🇮🇳 & Cavemen Misconceptions Before Conflict: Public Support India believed that Pakistan’s polarized environment would prevent its people from supporting their armed forces. They were proven wrong when the Pakistani nation united resolutely against India. The Taliban assumed they could leverage the "Islamic biradar card" to avoid Pakistan’s retaliation.... However, fed up with terrorism, the Pakistani people overwhelmingly supported action against terrorists. International Support India assumed years of diplomatic posturing, amplified by Jaishankar’s laser eyes moments, would rally global support and isolate Pakistan. They failed miserably on the diplomatic front. Afghanistan expected China and Russia to come to their rescue, but the international community had largely abandoned them, urging compliance with the Doha Agreement. Propaganda Warfare India believed its vast media apparatus would dominate the international narrative. Instead, they became a laughingstock after falsely claiming to destroy Lahore’s nonexistent seaport, losing credibility both globally and domestically. Afghan accounts, backed by Indian support, thought fake news and emotional propaganda would incite panic in Pakistan. Their efforts backfired, exposing and embarrassing them. Military Response India, clinging to the delusions of 2019, believed a border would shield their jets and limit the conflict to an aerial skirmish. They were stunned when seven Indian jets were shot down deep in their territory, showcasing Pakistan’s military resolve and shocking the world. Afghanistan assumed their sleeper cells and guerrilla tactics would keep Pakistan on the defensive without retaliation. Pakistan disproved this by striking Kabul twice in one week with its air force, with more actions likely to follow. Superiority Complex One important aspect to add in this is the strange superiority complex both these countries cling onto, one sees itself as a global superpower, while the other boasts of defeating superpowers. Each is trapped in its own delusions, and Pakistan has taken the responsibility to bring them back to reality. Current Threats Now, both India and Afghanistan think they can pressure Pakistan with threats of water disputes, terrorism, or political unrest. To them, I offer this quote: "Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself."show more
