Скачать или смотреть How to bankrupt countries by Khwaja Asif, Pakistan's defense minister

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has made several controversial statements regarding the causes of national bankruptcy and the role of foreign powers in destabilizing other nations.

Key Points from Khawaja Asif’s Remarks:
Blame on Foreign Interference: Asif has accused the United States of intentionally fueling global conflicts to benefit its arms industry. He cited examples of countries like Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Libya—once prosperous nations that have now been devastated and bankrupted due to prolonged wars, which he attributes to American involvement.

US Military-Industrial Complex: According to Asif, the US profits from creating and sustaining conflicts, keeping its military-industrial complex profitable. He claims the US "plays from both sides" in wars, creating chaos and instability that ultimately leads to the economic ruin of targeted countries.

Internal Responsibility: In the context of Pakistan, Asif has openly admitted that the country is already bankrupt. He attributes this to the collective failures of the establishment, bureaucracy, and politicians, rather than solely to external factors. He emphasized that the solution to Pakistan’s problems lies within the country, not with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Examples of Mismanagement: Asif cited wasteful government spending, such as building luxury golf clubs on government land, suggesting that selling just two of these could pay off a quarter of Pakistan’s debt.
Criticizing foreign (especially US) interference and its alleged economic consequences for other nations.
Acknowledging Pakistan’s own bankruptcy and calling for internal reforms and austerity measures. Asif’s statements have sparked debate and criticism, with some pointing out the irony of Pakistan’s reliance on foreign aid and military equipment from the US, while simultaneously blaming the US for global instability.
