Michael Rubin, former Pentagon official and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, while talking about the India-Pakistan conflict said that Pakistan started the conflict with its support to terrorism, and India was the victim of it.

While talking to the media, he said that India's military has shown itself to be much capable.

He said, "Pakistan started the conflict with its support for terrorism. Indians were the victims of terrorism. 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," he said. He added that Pakistan is now trying to save its face. He added that when one sees themselves in a hole, they must stop digging.
