India should call Pakistan’s bluff

It’s rare that someone hands me the opportunity to counter the dream script that is being prepared in New Delhi and Kabul for Pakistan, but this “journalist” did exactly that.

So let’s play…

In today’s Daily O, Minhaz Merchant has urged India to call Pakistan’s nuclear bluff and wage war against our country.

Sorry, I have to stop my laughter before I continue writing…

Mr. Merchant puts forward an interesting history of Indo-Pak relations that is excellent because it answers many of the idiot Pakistanis that seem to believe that we are the same people. Yes, I am talking about the Aman ki Tamasha people and all of the Indian apologists that sit in our corridors of government and media.

But, I’ll get to them once I am done answering these points.

Mr. Merchant points out that Pakistan, from the Army Chief to the National Security Advisor, continues to repeat that it has nuclear weapons and can defend itself. He dares to state that Pakistan won’t use it’s nuclear weapons against India because it would “cripple Pakistan” and lead to the annihilation of our country.

Sorry, had to chuckle there as well.

He then uses a word that I associate more with the Indian government and their criminal Prime Minister Modi, “bluster.” We have listened to Modi, Parrikar and other members of the Indian government telling the world that Pakistan is a terrorist state, while implementing national policy that is discriminatory against minorities. We have watched Bollywood, the marketing engine of a fake India, telling the world that Pakistan is a vile and nasty country. We listened to Prime Minister Modi telling the people of Bangladesh that India was ready to use the same Mukti Bahini strategy in Pakistan to break us into “tiny pieces.” We listened as Defense Minister Parrikar told a full house earlier this year that India was ready to answer terrorism with terrorism. Isn’t that a fantastic statement coming from a sitting minister in the Indian government?

So bravo, gentlemen. Please allow me to give you a standing ovation on the bluster that your country has shown in the past few months. That is bluster and propaganda, because no matter how many journalists and scriptwriters tell you that you can beat Pakistan, we still know that you can’t.

The journalist then quotes Praveen Swami, an Indian Express journalist, who states the following:

“Ever since Modi took power last year, Pakistan has demanded negotiations, seeing them as a cushion against possible Indian strikes in the face of a major terrorist attack. Large swathes of its troops tied down in counter-insurgency duties, the Pakistan army would be hard pressed to resist even a limited Indian push in areas like Kashmir’s Neelam Valley. Though Pakistan often threatens nuclear reprisal, it knows it would be hard pressed to deliver on this threat in all but the most catastrophic scenarios, for the simple reason that annihilation would follow in short order. The truth is nuclear armed adversaries have engaged in small conventional wars: China and Russia clashed on the Ussuri river in the 1950s, and India and Pakistan themselves in 1999.”

He also goes on to point out that “disgruntled elements” could breach Pakistan’s nuclear safeguards and get access to our nuclear command and control center. Granted, that statement files directly against the assessment of the US military and intelligence services, when they stated that Pakistan has one of the most secure command and control centers, even more secure that India’s. But we won’t get into that right now…

Now, let’s get to the meat of the sandwich…
