Washington, D.C<\/strong>. – Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, has launched a scathing attack on Pakistan’s army chief, General Asim Munir, following a series of controversial remarks made by Munir on US soil.

The strong comments from Rubin came after reports surfaced that General Munir, during his visit to the US, made a series of provocative statements, including veiled threats regarding Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. According to reports, Munir stated that if Pakistan were to “go down, it would take half the world down” with it, a comment that has been widely condemned. He also allegedly threatened to target India’s economic infrastructure and dams in any future conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with a news agency, Rubin did not mince his words, stating, “Asim Munir is Osama bin Laden in a suit.” He went on to say that Munir’s rhetoric is “reminiscent of what we heard from Osama bin Laden” and that “Pakistan’s threats on American soil are completely unacceptable.” Rubin further accused Pakistan of behaving like a “rogue state.”
Rubin’s criticism was not limited to Munir. He also questioned the US government’s handling of the situation, stating that Munir should have been “ushered out, taken to Tampa International Airport, and flown out of the United States” within 30 minutes of making the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former Pentagon official’s comments come at a time when General Munir has been on his second visit to the US in two months, with reports indicating a growing military alignment between Washington and Islamabad. This is despite India’s formal condemnation of Munir’s statements, with the Ministry of External Affairs expressing regret that such remarks were made from the soil of a friendly third country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rubin’s fierce condemnation highlights the deep divisions in Washington’s policy towards Pakistan and underscores the ongoing debate about the country’s role in global security and its handling of extremist groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
