I am disappointed.
Let me give you a very crude example, I have a guard at my property. He reports to me that he spotted an intruder and just let it go. What? Why don't you apprehended the intruder? Why let him go?
This sub should have been either killed or at least have them escorted to Karachi. Nothing less is acceptable. Iranians are more courageous then us. They capture US marines and show the world their videos.
Imagine, this sub and its crew captured and shown on media. How much political and diplomatic mileage, Pakistan could have earned form it. It may have a very pronounce effect on hawks and recent escalation by Indians. It could deescalate quickly and let off all the hot air from Indian balloon.
Why as a Pakistani citizens we will keep seeing such excuses? I am not only criticizing our military but also our government also. We are ZERO at all forums be it foreign, diplomatic or any other.
I grew up reading the story of Ghazi submarine lock on Indian aircraft carrier prior to 1965 war. I still bite my fingers when I read about fateful events of September 1, 1965. That day we lost a chance, what could have been a decisive victory.
Then we again lost on 7 September, when due to poor planning at top level give Indians a chance to re-group.
The events leading up to our defeat in 1971. The sheer incompetency by our political, military leadership then. The lost chances and blunders. What could be a better point to judge the incompetence, that almost 2 divisions of PA never participated in 1971 war. They did not fire a shot..
Siachen, and our complacency.. 1984
The saga and despair of 1987, Quaid post.
The story is endless.. Altaf Hussain, Zardari, Dr Asim, Ayyan Ali, NRO and so on
