Wir haben einen strategischen Fehler gemacht?

This is the first time I am seeing the outcome of the conflict interpreted in terms of what and how the US has positioned itself. Thank you for sharing. A week ago the eminent columnist had berated india for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

How much of US hand there was in the backdoor negotiations and discussions, we will possibly never know. 

Edit – typo

There’s so much propaganda flying around right now that it’s hard to sift truth from lies. India supporters are claiming that US made the ceasefire happen and that it didn’t, that the conflict was a decisive victory for India and that it wasn’t. Pakistani supporters are claiming the same things.

I’ve learned not to trust the armies of columnists and the even larger armies of Reddit commentators to give an accurate picture of what’s going on in the subcontinent. In the months ahead, I think further actions by both sides will give us a clearer picture of what they actually think of this resolution, much more so than what their supporters are saying right now.
