This is one of the finest pieces that doesn't employ run of the mill tropes on strategic cultures of Pakistan and India. Glad to engage and reflect on it.

A very astute observations, especially about the mindset. It is evident the next clash is when the next political event necessitates it, however, it's the mindset which will set the pace up the ladder of escalation and how... time will tell.... personal compliments.

Interesting read. Civil military relations and leadership impacts style of thinking. It also impacts national priorities. Civil leadership seeks collaboration and competition in fields many more than those limited to security linked. Military leadership is different by training.
