India and Brazil have no possibility of conflict at all

In other words, having powerful state of art weapons worth hundreds of billions is not enough to boost your morale and confidence, you have to go for cheap tactics and prevent your five times smaller adversary to grow muscles.

Cowards by any standard indeed.



Isolated? Dude we're already importing arms from every corner of the world. You tried to pressure US and Sweden and failed miserably to block delivery of block 52 F-16's and Erieye. Hell you couldn't even stop Russia, who btw you think you own, from selling the engines for JFT.

You cannot isolate Pakistan, period!

Fair points but why don't you try asking for F-16 blk 70s (Super Vipers) like the ones offered to IAF, see if you get them. Or how about the F-35 (offered to India).



And why should military power satisfy India? Perhaps, given the nation you live in, you don't understand there is MUCH MORE to foreign policy other than military power alone such as diplomacy, soft power and leveraging like in this scenario. Indian diplomacy is very impressive IMO, they seem to be able to tread a very fine line and enjoy friendships with those you'd assume would not want relations with India and is able to constantly expand its standing but without treading on too many toes.


And you are right India can't isolate Pakistan but you guys are doing it all by yourselves anyway so why would India need to over exert herself?

Too expensive for PAF, just like Rafale an Gripen which were evaluated before. But the main reason is the US fear of technology getting in hands of China, that's the reason some US weapons will never be offered to Pakistan. It has nothing to do wit India.

Donot overestimate your diplomacy, much has to do with your growing economic power and US' changing policies in South Asia. You were ignored for decades but US sees you as a counterweight against China and possible proxy in Afghanistan post 2014.

Isolation is only an Indian dream but far from reality. Current Pak-US crises is mistaken by your media and many Indian members here who love to write about it. It is not an isolation but an impasse which Pakistan seems to be winning. Pakistan is indeed in turmoil domestically but a change is going to come soon and we will re-emerge as a much stronger nation. We haven't even started using our potentials where as you are already doing that for past two decades.
