There are several extraordinary things about this episode, but the main one is clearly India have the west by the proverbials. If things escalated to the point the west wanted to detach from India in the same way as it seems to with China it is not at all obvious that they could. All those offshored services would suddenly do what? Has this turned out to be the mother of all security blind spots?
Given that if this turns out to be true, and Modi etc. get away with it, I expect they will become quite emboldened about doing this more generally.
- morbidious 3y agoActually, I was just about to say if the west happens to be lying through their teeth, they would be emboldened to spread countless other lies about other countries and get away with it. Or even better, they are already quite emboldened and have experience with lying categorically thinking it would work all the time.

- arwineap 3y agoCan you share what it would look like for India not to "get away with it?" Sanctions?
- SanjayMehta 3y agoIn 1998 India had sanctions after the nuclear tests. For few months. So good luck with that today.
