Pakistan’s Political Reality

Winning and losing is normal.

Winning a world cup in a sport at international level such as cricket or any other game without any match fixing or prior arrangements, the trend known in the past and present is a matter of pride.

Juxtaposed, winning a war with limited resources and minimal to no warning from the adversary with multinational defense weaponry and disproportionate military assets is an extraordinary feat.

PAKISTAN, the nation confronted with multi-dimensional skirmishes along the borders including terrorism from within and outside is a challenging situation.

The recent military confrontation between Pakistan and India, especially Pakistan’s air force exemplary display leading to Pakistan’s victory is a significant achievement in their national defense as well as regional security.

The outcome mitigating protracted warfare was responsible from Pakistan, considering the two nations nuclear status and Indian political stance on preemptive strikes witnessed in 2019 prior to Indian national election and now in 2025 to cater hardline strategy against neighbor Pakistan.

Warfare is completely a different game from Cricket or any sport. They are incomparable.

Sport is entertainment with no fatality or casualty barring any minor injury from the activity.

Warfare, on the other hand is a real deal. The modern warfare is complex and rife with blindside targets, and other unpredictable assaults and drone attacks…demanding spontaneous response to avert extensive damage and loss of lives in particular.

Briefly, winning a war protects lives and national security. Notwithstanding, the awareness to adversary to desist future aggression and provocation.

Sport as an entertainment is lighthearted compared to engagement in war at adversary’s will and saber rattling.

The warfare is a tremendous tactical test to prove preparedness prevailing in the otherwise multipolar military armament.

Pakistan’s defense force preventive action restricting further escalation in the recent military clash with India is practical and prudent.

Sport delights sport’s fans whereas warfare averting major catastrophe in this instance has saved lives including sport enthusiasts and strengthened security.

Though war is not the ideal option. However, when war is imposed against normal strategy, the target has no choice but to respond appropriately in a fair and square manner.

PAKISTAN’s defense force performance in this scenario was timely and measured in precision.

All the more reason for Pakistan defense force to be proud of the latest outcome.
