This discussion analyzes Pakistan's continued sponsorship of terrorist groups, viewing the Pakistan army as an insurgent organization using terrorism to challenge India's regional hegemony. Nuclear weapons limit India's response options. While past crises haven't resulted in military defeat for Pakistan, they've led to ceasefires. The discussion explores India's limited retaliatory options, the lack of a "smoking gun" in the recent Bahawalpur attack, and the impact of international responses. The role of media censorship in Pakistan and the potential for further escalation are also examined.
