I was just reading up on some “cold start strategy” doctrine that was being contemplated by the Indian army to deal with Pakistan. I fumbled upon some news article where a Pakistani Journalist has made a response to the doctrine.
This is my response to his:
What I know as an Indian is that if we do or have to war Pakistan conventional or unconventional-we will win.My forces have shown that time & again. Twice conventionally and once unconventionally.
I don’t think I need to worry on that front.
”Does Pakistan have a Hizbullah type of defense against invasions? Only day dreamers can imagine that this is not so. Pakistan is ready to give Indians Cold Strategy a warm welcome. Crossing Wagah, Sialkot, Ran of Kutch or Kashmir point the Indian army would not only face the Pakistani Army but a very hostile and armed population.”
One, if are our army is “welcomed” by hostile, armed civilians, do you by any chance still think we will follow the Cold Strategy Approach?? Do you seriously believe that’s the only strategy we would have?
And two, even if it comes to civilians,do you think our soldiers will be without help? (Not that they would need any).If Indian civilians were pressed into it…do you know your civilian will be staring into 7 pairs of eyes..each. Oh yeah! by the way……they’ll be armed and hostile too.
