Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official, likened Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir to “Osama bin Laden in a suit,” criticizing his recent nuclear threats against India. Rubin condemned Pakistan’s behavior as that of a “rogue state” and called for significant diplomatic actions against it, including designating it a state sponsor of terrorism. He expressed concerns about the stability of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal amidst potential terrorist access and suggested that the international community consider a “managed decline” of Pakistan to mitigate these threats. This rhetoric escalates South Asian tensions, complicating U.S. relations with both India and Pakistan.
