Operation Sindoor concluding thoughts

Also published on Twitter

We’ve learned that:

1. India is quite literally capable of obliterating a 250M+ country without a sweat
2. Pak’s nukes pose almost no risk to us

Though the Americans cockblocked us from actually doing it; in terms of new information, Op Sindoor is an incredible whitepill on the impact Modi govt has had.

For much of what you think they’ve “backtracked” or “ignored”, a lot has happened behind the scenes.

I revise all my complaints about the govt going “too slow”. Modi has forever etched his name in India’s history.

Our only regret should be that we have only 543 seats to give to our Priest-King.

The real achievement wasn’t the beautiful 23 minute śakti-pradarśaṇ, but the 10 years of defense modernization effort by Modi govt that enabled it.

My only regret is that we have but 543 seats to give to the Priest-King.

Absolutely not a W.

We showed our capacity to destroy them without actually causing material damage.

Given China useful experimental results.

PR loss for Modi.

And complacency among people, so likely won’t even ramp up defense production or use emergency powers.

All of the following are true:

1. Op Sindoor demonstrated our total military dominance over Pak and caused me to significantly revise upward my estimate of govt’s competence on material/policy matters
2. ceasefire was an L. We could have wrecked them a lot harder by just continuing the bombing for a few more minutes
3. … but I trust govt’s judgement. Modi can make mistakes, but not such an obvious blunder. We have less info than govt, we have no idea what kind of things Trump threatened.
4. … but the fact that we had to was the result of a historically bad posture from IFS towards the West
5. … but this is not due to a specific mistake by govt but a lack of solidly RWs in Elite Midwit Capital. Sure there are plenty of EMC BJP-voters, but there just isn’t enough ideological coherence and motivation.
6. We may not have the same advantage by the next confrontation. Never bet against Chinese technology and American cuckoldry.
