By contrast, Pakistan\u2019s mostly Chinese equipment fell short of some observers\u2019 lofty expectations, which reflects negatively on both.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, many in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thealtworld.com\/andrew_korybko\/a-review-of-the-most-common-roles-in-the-alt-media-community\">Alt-Media Community<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 including some top \u201cNon-Russian Pro-Russians\u201d \u2013 insist that Pakistan defeated India, though there are reasons to suspect that they don\u2019t actually believe this but are driven by ulterior motives in claiming otherwise. Most of these same figures are known for their support of Palestine and\/or China, and given that India is close to Israel and at odds with China, supporting Pakistan is \u201cideologically consistent\u201d with their views and precludes accusations of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how reliable their takes on Ukraine, Palestine, and whatever else might be, their views on the latest Indo-Pak conflict should therefore be taken with lots of salt. This is important to keep in mind since <strong>Putin and Modi \u201cemphasised the need to uncompromisingly fight terrorism in all its forms\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.kremlin.ru\/events\/president\/news\/76841\">during their call<\/a>\u00a0last week,<\/strong> which isn\u2019t reflected by these top \u201cNon-Russian Pro-Russians\u201d who present themselves as interpreters of Russian foreign policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their support of Pakistan over India contradicts Russian interests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All told, while opinions are mixed about who came out on top in the latest Indo-Pak conflict, India arguably won seeing as how it punished Pakistan for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thealtworld.com\/andrew_korybko\/pakistans-military-leader-has-the-most-to-gain-lose-from-the-pahalgam-terrorist-attack\">Pahalgam terrorist attack<\/a>\u00a0by bombing multiple bases, the Indus Waters Treaty remains suspended, and a new military doctrine has entered into effect.<\/strong> Pakistan achieved no comparable outcomes despite its supporters\u2019 claims. Even though it lost, Pakistan might not have learned its lesson, so a re-eruption of hostilities at some future time can\u2019t be ruled out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" class=\"username\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Sun, 05\/11\/2025 &#8211; 23:35<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/who-won-latest-indo-pak-conflict\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/who-won-latest-indo-pak-conflict<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Won The Latest Indo-Pak Conflict?
