On the morning of May 7, India launched a strike on Pakistan's mainland without declaring war. What Pakistan said is correct, this is certainly an act of aggression. But the key point is that although it was clearly the Indian army that made the first move, they ended up getting severely defeated. According to the latest information from Pakistan's Defense Minister: currently, the Pakistani army has captured several Indian soldiers and shot down multiple Indian fighter jets (the latest report indicates at least 5).

Indeed, enough humiliation for the Indian army. Now India's old tricks are all exposed. Of course, Modi does not intend to stop here. The latest news from India: after the attack, Modi delivered a public speech. He confirmed that India still has more moves and stated: "Previously, India's water flowed outwards, but now we will no longer do so. We will no longer let the water flow outwards, and we will use these precious water resources for our own national purposes!"

Clearly, this is another attempt to meddle with water resources. This is not the first time India has done so, but this is the first time Modi has openly expressed such an intention. Next, they will undoubtedly enhance their own water storage capabilities and find ways to control all water sources. For Pakistan, this is undoubtedly a significant test.

Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that after the attack incident, India made it clear that they intended to exclude China from the situation. Because just hours earlier, after India's first round of attacks, the Indian government immediately informed several important countries about the details of the situation. These countries include the UK, the US, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Russia.

The UK, the US, and Russia are permanent members of the Security Council, so informing them is normal. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are relatively important countries in recent years, considered strong powers in the Middle East, so notifying them is also normal. But the question is, why specifically exclude China and France?

Not including France may have much to do with the results of this attack. Multiple Pakistani media outlets have already disclosed the situation of India's fighter jets being shot down, including the "Rafale" fighter jets purchased from France. This "Rafale" truly lived up to the saying: "one try, game over." It's regrettable that earlier, an old Indian general once boasted: "Facing 20 Chinese J-20s, the Indian army only needs to deploy 4 Rafales." Looking at the current situation, this statement is indeed a big joke.

Not informing China of the relevant situation clearly aims to keep China out of the situation. Currently, no country in the world has publicly declared support for India, including Russia and the US, which have not made such direct statements. However, with China's backing, Pakistan feels secure. For India, the best way to avoid direct intervention by China is to confine the conflict within a certain range, making it unnecessary for China to intervene. Although this approach cannot inflict heavy damage on the Pakistani army, it can provide an explanation for India's angry populace. Therefore, as everyone has seen, although India was the one who initiated the attack, overall they were relatively restrained and did not target any of Pakistan's military bases.

In summary, India hopes to control the battlefield situation and threaten Pakistan through soft methods like water resources. However, the problem now is that after this initial exchange of fire, Pakistan has seen how weak the Indian army is. They will not give up easily. What happens next, let us continue to follow closely.
