Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, who is visiting the United States for the second time since the four-day conflict with India, has issued a nuclear threat against India, warning that Islamabad would "take half the world down" with it, if his country faces an existential threat in the future from New Delhi.
Munir issued this nuclear threat from US soil during a black-tie dinner he hosted for businessman Adnan Asad, who serves as Pakistan's honorary consul in Tampa.
"We are a nuclear nation, if we think we are going down, we'll take half the world down with us," ThePrint quoted Munir as saying at the event in Tampa.
The remarks mark the first recorded instance of a nuclear threat being made from US territory against a third country.
Munir also took aim at India over the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, warning that India's decision to suspend it could endanger 250 million people with the risk of starvation.
"We will wait for India to build a dam, and when it does so, 10 missiles se faarigh kar denge (we will destroy it with 10 missiles)," he said, adding, The Indus river is not the Indians’ family property. Humein missilon ki kami nahin hai, al-Hamdulillah (we have no shortage of missiles, Praise be to God)," Munir said, as quoted by ThePrint, citing sources.
Munir compares India to Mercedes, Pakistan to dump truck
Munir reportedly made several references to the conflict with India during his speech. "Ek tweet karwaya tha with Surah Fil and a picture of (the industrialist) Mukesh Ambani to show them what we will do the next time," he said. Surah Fil is a verse which describes how Allah sent birds to drop stones on an enemy's battle elephants and reduced them to "chewed-up straw".
"We'll start from India's East, where they have located their most valuable resources, and then move westwards," Munir was quoted as saying by ThePrint.
Using what he termed a 'crude analogy', the Field Marshal said at a Pakistani community event in Tampa, Florida, "India is shining Mercedes coming on a highway like Ferrari [sic], but we are a dump truck full of gravel. If the truck hits the car, who is going to be the loser?"
Guests at the event were prohibited from carrying cellphones or other digital devices, and no official transcript of the speech was released. ThePrint reconstructed the address based on recollections of several attendees.
In Tampa, Munir attended the Retirement Ceremony of outgoing US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Michael E. Kurilla, and the Change of Command Ceremony, marking the assumption of command by Admiral Brad Cooper.
In June, Munir travelled to the US on a rare five-day trip during which he attended a private luncheon with President Donald Trump, an unprecedented gesture typically reserved for visiting heads of state or government. That meeting culminated in Trump's announcement of enhanced US-Pakistan cooperation in various fields, including an oil deal.
Munir's visit came just over a month after the US general described Pakistan as a "phenomenal partner" in counterterrorism efforts during a congressional hearing, where he also praised Pakistan's role "in promoting peace and stability" in the region.
Fine with me.
Just so long as it’s not this half.
The eastern hemisphere could be depopulated completely and it would be a good thing for the rest of the world.
This guy had lunch with President Trump at the White House in June.
I think Pakistan which is ultimately run by Field Marshal Munir is being appeased to facilitate regime change in neighboring Iran.
That's about right according to Biblical prophecy of Worldwide Islamic Supremacy.
But only after Jesus takes up his own into heaven.
Coming soon, but not yet...
British map-makers have a lot to answer for. The creation of Pakistan has been a disaster for the world, and continues to be.
islam is incompatible with civilization. It needs to be wiped from the earth forever.
L
India/Pakistan, one place until 1947. Same history, same culture, same language, pretty much the same cuisine, but one difference that world-wide seems to cause deadly problems. Wonder what that could be?
Pakistan is under the rule of an Islamic military dictatorship. So they are somewhat rational.
The first truly Islamist nation with nuclear weapons will be the UK.
DESPICABLE words from a DESPICABLE man from one of the world’s most DESPICABLE “nations”.
Pak Army Chief Munir is a very dangerous man at this time in history. This is the Pakistani attitude I have always been worried about, since learning that they now have nuclear capabilities.
Pakistan has a reputation for explosive violence over a difference of mere details. Parts of India also remain just as primitive and reactionary, but Pakistan, much moreso.
I’m surprised Trump even invited Munir to visit America, if this is typical of how he communicates to the public.
A couple of months ago he was on his hands and knees begging Trump, and also Saudi Arabia, UAE and others to urge Trump to intervene and save them. Now that they have been saved he has found a voice.
Agreed. And given what we knew even then of Pakistan’s involvement with Al Qaeda, we should have completely demolished both Pakistan and Afghanistan by the end of 2001.
Pakistan as a nation is and has always been since its inception a basket-case nation. Somehow they built themselves nukes tho. No Pakistani political leader enjoys a retirement either - they are always retired. Permanently.
I wonder. Could it be? Could it be -Satan!?
They’re at war with India and threatening to destroy half the world if INDIA attacks?
How muslim of them.
ANY excuse to eliminate infidels. The problem is, they’ll be bombing themselves back to the stone age. What are they going to do without outside resources and Western technology?
Idiots.
Preach it!
The India Pakistan war will also be fought in the streets of London and throughout Great Britain.
True. I didn’t think about that....
