The Pakistani military, led by Asim Munir, has shifted priorities from economic recovery to “strategic psychosis.” While citizens face high inflation and a failing power grid, resources are directed towards Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) development and proxy terror networks. Recent reports highlight Pakistan’s shift from a ‘Strategic Partner’ to a global concern due to its ICBM ambitions and proxy wars.
The US Intelligence Community’s Annual Threat Assessment now groups Pakistan with China, Russia, and North Korea as a direct threat. Pakistan’s missile technology advancements are seen as a move towards global blackmail, surpassing the need for deterrence against India. This shift raises concerns about Pakistan’s international relations and security implications.
Under Munir’s leadership, Pakistan’s focus on ballistics over basic needs is noted. The country’s potential to field ICBMs capable of reaching Western capitals poses a significant risk. Meanwhile, India’s advancements contrast with Pakistan’s continued association with terror activities, leading to global recognition of Pakistan’s destabilizing role in the region.
