I'm not Indian, nor Pakistani, nor from South Asia.

I just wanted to clarify some points...

* It was Pakistan that shot 3 to 5 Indian jets. Pakistan says three Rafale jets, a MiG-29, and an Su-30, along with one Heron drone. NY Times confirms at least 3. This was a huge win for Pakistan by all military expert accounts. This was all using Chinese technology.

* Trump said today that it was India that went to the US to solve the situation. CNN also reported this.

To me, it was a huge win for China and Pakistan. A US official has also confirmed that, stating they stood by to see what China had.

India isn't innocent either; they meddle a lot with Balochistani separatist groups in Pakistan. This is no hidden secret. These terrorists have killed Chinese engineers.

There has been a lot of false information out there, particularly from Indian media (many accounts said a pilot was also captured, and other cities such as Karachi were hit). It was very alarming to see such blatantly wrong accounts by mainstream Indian media.
