But this is exactly what is being peddled now. We could have graded the response by first doing quick strikes and then in case of state retaliation aka Pak army retaliation, we could have escalated and blown them to smithereens.All these things need to be graduated over a period of time. We can't get to the last step of the escalatory ladder without climbing all or most of those steps.
But instead of that, we started preparing for a mythical war, which has no stated objectives yet (which is OK, since it has not started yet). But then my question is - if such is the preparedness that one cannot execute airstrikes on hair-trigger or missile strikes on hair-trigger - what is the usefulness of a politically stable government and nationwide support for retaliation?
Such short lived public sentiments are being squandered away, by not making any tangible kinetic actions.
I understand that you are standing on the opposite end of the spectrum, but I feel you should give your stance a deep think.
