Khwaja Asif's Strong Statements Against the US

Pakistan's Defense Minister Khwaja Asif has made significant remarks regarding the United States, questioning its role in global violence and warfare. He accused the US of instigating conflicts among nations for the past century, suggesting that these wars serve as a source of income for the country.


A video of Khwaja Asif's comments has gone viral on social media. He stated, 'The US has been initiating wars globally, possibly for the last 100 years. They have engaged in 260 conflicts, while China has only participated in three. The US continues to profit from these wars, with the military industry constituting a substantial part of their GDP. They instigate conflicts in various countries, and when nations fight, they reap the benefits.'


Examples of US Influence

To support his claims, Asif cited examples of countries like Palestine, Syria, Egypt, and Libya, which were once prosperous but have now faced bankruptcy due to wars instigated by the US, allowing America to profit from their turmoil.


Debate on America's Role

Following his statements, a renewed debate has emerged globally regarding America's involvement in international conflicts. Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the ceasefire in the India-Pakistan conflict.


Trump announced the ceasefire at 5:37 PM on his social media, and he has referenced it in his travels and major press conferences. He claimed that he facilitated the ceasefire through trade threats, a statement that India has dismissed.
