I read about that dodgy Raphael deal last september.

Exec Summary from
MoA blog:
"In short: The previous government signed a contract with France' Dassault to buy 126 Rafale jets for $10.6 billion. Thirty percent of the price would flow back from Dassault to the Indian state owned aviation manufacturer HAL, which would assemble most of the planes. Modi flew to Paris and changed the deal without the knowledge of his cabinet and the country's military. India will get only 36 Rafales but pay $8.7 billion for them. Thirty percent of the money would flow back to a private Indian company belonging to the largely bankrupt, privately held Reliance Group for unrelated projects and without any know-how transfer. How much Reliance, owned by the once very rich Ambani family, would hand over to Modi and his party is yet unknown. There are calls for Modi to step down which he is unlikely to do. The issue will escalate."
Meanwhile, maybe your fascist should actually talk to Imran Khan rather than attacking Pakistan and guarranteeing a retaliation.
Khan sounds like the grown-up in the room to me.
"I once again invite you: we are ready. We understand the grief India has suffered in Pulwama and are ready for any sort of dialogue on terrorism. I reiterate that better sense should prevail.
"Let's sit together and settle this with talks"
I doubt Khan's Government were behind the terrorists, even though the ISI is always up to no good, often in collusion with the CIA. According to retired General Mirza Aslam Baig (a former Pakistan army Chief) "the U.S. supports the Jundullah terrorist group and uses it to destabilize Iran."
How they'd love to damage China's OBOR, and how better than a war like this. Just speculating.
