The self-proclaimed "Field Marshal" and Pakistan's de facto ruler made a reckless declaration at an event held in Tampa, Florida, that if his country were to suffer an existential loss, it would "take half the world down" with it.

It is not only dangerous for a state that possesses nuclear weapons to make such a threat of annihilation of the globe in a public arena; rather, it is an act of strategic lunacy.

The fact that this occurred in the United States, without any prompt and unequivocal denunciation from Washington, reveals the profound hypocrisy of a superpower that portrays itself as the moral compass of the world.

The United States of America is the same nation that has been responsible for overthrowing governments due to allegations of possessing weapons of mass destruction, that educate the world on the importance of nuclear restraint, and that loves to portray itself as the protector of global peace.

This move was completely within Bharat's sovereign rights, especially after the country had to endure decades of Pakistani-sponsored cross-border terrorism.
