Washington DC, May 9: On the Operation Sindoor, declared war by India, Michael Rubin, former Pentagon official and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, said that "Pakistan started the conflict with its support for terrorism whereas Indians were the victims.
“While I was initially critical that Prime Minister Modi had taken so long to respond, but it's clear that the Indian military was carefully planning and the Indian military has shown itself to be far more capable”.
Pakistan is thrashing about, looking for a way to save face. But Asim Munir should understand that the first rule of hole digging is when you're in a hole, stop digging. Looking forward, there can only be one metric by which we look at the diplomatic solution to this issue. Pakistan has to be designated by the United States to be a state sponsor of terror."
