2 options.

1. Government negotiated in good faith and the military said, nah, we're going to keep fighting.
2. The government was in on it.

Neither makes descalation easy

Like many of the world conflicts this is like a dysfunctional marriage.  Careful taking sides or they'll decide they love each other again and turn on you.

Looks like peace is holding. The cricket is back on.

A surprise victory for Pakistan if anything. Seems their Chinese equipment performed above expectations and India lost some Rafales.
