That said, this was expected. India's diplomacy and restraint has been tested time and time again. It has taken a page from Israel, US & Russia's book. India is only cleaning up the mess that Pakistan should've cleared on its side of the border.
However, it may also well be false, despite the assurances of India to the contrary.
I do know that if this escalates into a 'real' war, or, heaven forbid, a nuclear exchange, between the two countries, then the question of whether or not this attack was justified will be completely irrelevant.
It's high time these air strikes were conducted. They had it coming. We made sure no civilians were killed. Only those terrorists.
Before being techie's or engineer's, we are Indian's first, and we are very proud of these air strikes.
Paki's don't let us live in peace and it's high time the terrorists they harbored were blown off to pieces. Those cowards wage proxy war against us.
Would you call US a coward for raiding bin Laden's camp in Abbottabad and bringing him down? Would you condemn Israel when they target Hamas militants?
Shame and disgrace on you, sir! You have indirectly justified terrorism and Pakistan's cowardice.
India didn’t get authorization from the UN Security Council nor was this in self defense.
I think your bias may be showing.
Moreover this targeted terrorist camps in remote areas, and not Pakistani military or civilian targets.
Till now, US & Pak interests were aligned so US acted as broker, meaning Pak based terrorists went Scott free.
For the first time in history a US president has dropped the usual advice of restraint.
Of course, I'm not saying India should bomb Karachi, that's against common sense. Because civilians are killed in such a strike. But targeting a terror camp on a mountain is justified after you know that 50+ Army men were maryted in a bomb vehicle attack 12days ago. And that terror attack was carried out by JeM
The border is labelled "line of control" on the maps. What India bombed is in the part of Kashmir-then-India that Pakistan effectively controls but that other countries don't recognise.
