Public sentiment on the India-Pakistan military exercises is largely polarized, marked by strong nationalism and skepticism. While many express pride in India's military preparedness and support for national defense, there are significant fears about political motivations and potential escalations tied to domestic issues such as the upcoming elections. Comments often reflect a mix of bravado, anxiety, and indifference towards the reality of military tensions, with many perceiving the situation as politically maneuvered rather than genuinely defensive.

So they’re modeling it after the PLA rocket force.

If anyone here has plans to visit India, I think you should cancel them vocally in order to stand up for Ukraine and not give money to supporters of the Moscow threat.

Hopefully some Indian diplomats in the Baltics but also Poland get evicted over this, maybe even downgrading diplomatic relations.

India is the second largest buyer of Russian energy exports, a major customer of the Russian arms industry, and all in all a country that DGAF about conflicts that aren’t at its doorstep. Hardly surprising.

The fact of the matter is that we are increasingly alone here in Europe, as global players are becoming more and more autocratic.

We have to re-arm, and rapidly. Here in Norway, we should have followed Finland's example, but no, we believed in brotherly love and peace to all mankind after 1991....

As a result, we have more or less disarmed ourselves compared to the 1980s

Why is anyone surprised? India had been aligned with SU and after the collapse of SU with Russia for some time now, partly as a consequence of the cold war where the US supported Pakistan (their biggest regional rival) and India probably did not want to be in any kind of alloance with their former colonizer (UK) (speculating about the second part). Most of India’s military gear was and still is SU/Rusaian made, they would have had to maintain some sort of a relationship until they changed over most of their military gear. This is nothing new, in their words this is just a regional conflict for them. Add to that, that Modi is a borderline fascist and birds of a feather flock together. 

I would add that Biden admin had a decent plan to pull them away from Russia with the oil price cap that India benefitted from, but Trump seems to flushed the whole thing down the toilet with his 50% tarrifs, only bringing the two even closer.

An axis is formed between Russia, China, India, North Korea and Iran.

This is not a big deal, it's a relatively small contingent and India participates in such exercises with many countries throughout the year

Neat_Trainer_4760

USA just did a military exercise with Bangladesh which shares majority of its border with India. And called for strengthening it's army. 

So within days of this, India joined zapad military exercise with Russia..

imacrazydude

I mean come on. They with china always were the biggest beneficiaries of russian oil and energy after Ukraine invasion. The Indian president even stated several times that its euro and west problem not mine so you do you(not literally ofc..)Even tho India was on full anti China program for couple years in hopes for most west manufacturing moving to India from china-like apple did in small steps... Orange wankstain destroyed all that in months and pushed India to BFF China and Russia more than ever. Everything from there is next to no surprise.

Except the Indian military being a professional force does not engage in madrassa style rhetoric that Pakistani generals do. These people are literally being propped up by the current US administration. Nobody should take them seriously. They're jokers.

Didn't they just get their arses kicked again by the Taliban

It's a response to Indias growing economic and military support for the taliban. The Afghan foreign minister had a public week long media tour that began about a day before the attack. Does anyone think India wasn't a participant in this?

Apparently they cannot behave in a civil manner, either.

There is no weight or credibility for the words of a man or men originating from Pakistan. Hollow nation run by military tin cans.

Debunk2025

General Munir is right about one thing they cannot be coerced or intimidated but they can surely be bought again and again and again. As showcased by America throughout the years since Pakistan was formed.They go on about all these things they will do during speeches but when it's time to stand tall in the face of battle they always seem to backtrack and surrender. Case in point the comical surrender by 93000 Pakistani soldiers in 1971. They are not a serious country and have so many issues plaguing their general populace but still somehow Munir finds the balls to threaten a country to its east that has time and again proven its military might against them while having ongoing skirmishes with their neighbors on west. Hopefully they get their act together atleast to the point where they can hold their country together because if things gets worse India's western border could have a refugee crisis.

As much as I want army to respond to this, remember this is actually american deep state speaking it, we have all our players in right boxes, but we shouldn't make a move on provocation...he is barking because he is scared of something...

One day till khyber pakhtun, we will have our real borders back!!! WE will spare pakistani punjab but not the gilgit, balti and khyber pakhtoon area...

How is taco donnie going to get his peace prize with talk like that.

Desperate_Ship_4283

Focusing on these two countries, while the whole world is ablaze is quite remarkable. In the west, soecially in USA, this would be considered normal. Enemy of an enemy is your friend. A dictum used the world over, but apparently  you are not familiar with it.

But Trump already settled it?… didn’t he?

India has a no first use policy. 

But once it is attacked, India also has a no holds barred, no limits of use policy.

Doesnt this happen all the time. I always hear that “tensions are escalating.”

The question is: is the world going to care about it? It's not like Jews are involved here... Is it not how the tens now goes? No Jews, no news?

Pakistan does not have a navy. What they have is a bunch of some borrowed frigates and 2 borrowed submarines.

Pakistan is a mosquito of a country compared to India. We are too busy competing with China.
