Excellent interaction. It was professionally treaded, without frills.
A few points :-
– Though the discussion was Pakistan and terrorism specific, but threats from our others neighbours too was commented upon. That being so, a bigger challenge from China needs to be debated more. Pakistan alone is less important, as compared to the combined threat with China, both in conventional and CI scenarios.
– Point that diplomacy and war preparedness have to complement each other, was very rightly emphasized by you. But in the last Jun 2021 stand off with China, the diplomatic efforts and willpower was somewhat missing.
– Emphasis on Cyber warfare too is very important and needs due attention.
A very useful program.
Thanks for the valuable inputs and comments.
