The day India and Pakistan declared themselves as nuclear states, possibility of a full-fledged conventional war leading to nuclear war between these two states has become remote unless leadership of any one of these decides to go rogue.

India will continue “staged” skirmishes (so called surgical strikes) such as of 26 February 2019 to win in-country political battles by gaining public favor.

On the other hand Pakistan will continue returning responses in the form of “surprise strikes” such as “Operation Swift-Retort” of 27 February, 2019.

To maintain this on-going tit for tat activity, armed forces of both countries will continue upgrading their conventional arsenal.

Apart from this, both countries will continue waging non-conventional skirmishes in the form of cyber-attacks, covert operations on country’s infrastructure using local insurgents, and covertly exploiting economic, political and diplomatic fronts.

The ultimate winner of this on-going battle will be the one governed by sane leadership.

Pakistan desperately in need of such leadership.
