#1 Skirmishes and battles, tactics and diversions.

Is there anywhere in the "Islamic world" which could afford, in any sense of the word, a war with any other nation?

Pakistan certainly cannot, as this article clearly describes.

#4 "Ah, now we start getting to the heart of it."

Yup. As long as the government of Afghanistan is friendly with India, Pakistan will continue stirring trouble there.

#5 This could be a huge opportunity for India, to set up a vast training area in Afghanistan, rotating entire Corps, that would function as a border guard in an ironically crescent shaped pattern along the 2430km border with Pakistan.

Afghanistan and India would become bestest buddies. And Pakistan would lose its marbles.

Why should they worry about kinetic war when they are winning with lawfare and a massive info campaign?
