## India’s war on terror: Will the West ‘stand up or kneel to fear?’

Authored by brusselssignal.eu

After the April 22 terrorist massacre in Pahalgam, India strikes back, hammering nine Pakistani sites with “Operation Sindoor.”

On May 6, India’s “Operation Sindoor” hit terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, killing militants but also civilians, per Pakistani claims.

Pakistan vows a “robust response,” and war teeters on the edge.

Like Israel battling Hamas or what America claimed after 9/11, India faces a terrorist enemy shielded by a state: Pakistan.

The Pahalgam attack, a calculated atrocity, fits Pakistan’s “thousand cuts” strategy to destabilize India. »
