Viral Video of Pakistan's Defence Minister Exposing USA: “America Uses Wars for Profit!”

A recent viral video of Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has sparked a global storm on social media. In the video, Asif openly blames the United States for profiting from wars and accuses Washington of fueling global conflicts for economic gains. His statement wasn’t just another political remark—it was a rare, bold admission from a senior Pakistani minister, and it has left netizens from Turkey to India stunned.

“America Profits from Wars” – A Direct Accusation

In the video, Asif states clearly:

"America has fought around 260 wars in the last 100 years, while China has only been involved in three. Still, America makes profits from wars because of its military-industrial complex, which forms a major portion of their GDP. They start conflicts, sell weapons to both sides, and return home with profits."

He points at countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, and Libya, once rich nations, now devastated and bankrupt. He accuses the US of turning such countries into battlegrounds to keep its military industry thriving. His blunt language—typically rare from a Pakistani minister—has shocked many, especially because it reflects a stance far removed from Pakistan’s usual diplomatic ambiguity toward the US.

Praise for China – The Strategic Contrast

What’s even more telling is Asif’s praise for China. He lauds the fact that China avoids unnecessary wars and does not interfere in other nations under the guise of peacekeeping or democratization. This contrasting portrayal of China and the US is not accidental—it aligns with Pakistan’s increasing closeness to Beijing. From expectations of receiving 5th generation fighter jets like the J-35, to strategic assistance during economic crises, Pakistan sees China as its reliable long-term partner.

Why Now? Pakistan’s Silent Rage

This statement didn’t come out of nowhere. Pakistan is currently frustrated with the US, especially after America stayed silent during Pakistan’s Indus Water Treaty dispute with India. Despite Pakistan escalating the issue to the United Nations, the US offered no support, no statement—nothing. This silence has made Pakistan feel abandoned, leading to a growing anti-US sentiment within its establishment.

This isn’t new, though. Historically, Pakistan has used the US when convenient, especially for IMF loans or defense support against India. But once their immediate needs are met, public and political hatred toward the US resurfaces. Burning of American flags on the streets of Pakistan is not a rare sight. Yet, for some strange reason, American media never talks about it the way it covers similar protests in Iran.

Where’s the Global Media?

What’s shocking is the lack of international coverage of this explosive video. If an Indian minister had made such comments, it would have been global news. Western think tanks, journalists, and human rights watchdogs would have torn it apart. But when Pakistan’s Defence Minister openly calls out the US, mainstream media remains silent.

This is where India loses the narrative battle. Despite having a strong case against Pakistan’s terrorism record, India’s statements rarely go viral or get international recognition. The video of Khawaja Asif could have been a turning point in exposing Pakistan’s two-faced diplomacy, but it is yet to reach American audiences in a meaningful way.

India’s Strong UN Stand—Ignored Again?

Recently, India gave a powerful rebuttal at the UN regarding the Indus Water Treaty. The Indian representative reminded the global community:

• Pakistan has violated the spirit of the treaty by launching wars and terror attacks.
• Over 20,000 Indian lives have been lost due to terrorism planned from Pakistani soil.
• Pakistan, not India, has undermined the peace principles of the treaty.

And yet, while India talks facts, Pakistan uses emotional, dramatic, and controversial statements—often getting more attention in the online space.

Final Thoughts: A Wake-Up Call

Khawaja Asif’s video is not just a diplomatic gaffe; it’s a direct insult to the US, a country that has long supported Pakistan financially and militarily. It also exposes the hypocrisy in international coverage. If Iran had said this, it would be on CNN. If India had said it, Pakistan would have cried victim. But since it’s Pakistan saying it against the US, the world remains oddly quiet.

This viral clip should be widely shared, not just for its content, but for the truth it exposes—about the US, about Pakistan, and about the selective outrage of global media.

Let the world hear this: Pakistan’s Defence Minister believes America thrives on wars. The question is—
Will America listen? Or continue believing Pakistan is a friend?
