US President Biden calls Pakistan ‘most dangerous nation in the world’; holds nuclear weapons without any cohesion

Biden’s “no cohesion” remark is exemplified by the current political turmoil in Pakistan

While speaking at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Reception in Los Angeles (California), US President Joe Biden described Pakistan as “one of the most dangerous nations” in the world. In perhaps the most candid statement, Biden said the country holds ‘nuclear weapons without any cohesion‘.

Biden’s remarks are being seen as a setback to the Shehbaz Sharif government‘s bid to improve ties with the US. This comes two days after the release of the US’ National Security Strategy. The 48-page document makes no reference to Pakistan.

The statement came while Biden was talking about US foreign policy with regard to China and Vladimir Putin’s Russia. During his speech, Biden also berated both China and Russia. Biden concluded by saying he considered Pakistan to be the most dangerous country in the world.

“This is a guy (Xi Jinping) who understands what he wants but has an enormous, enormous array of problems. How do we handle that? How do we handle that relative to what’s going on in Russia? And what I think is maybe one of the most dangerous nations in the world: Pakistan. Nuclear weapons without any cohesion,” said Biden, as quoted in a White House press release of his remarks at the Democratic party event.

Biden’s “no cohesion” remark is exemplified by the current political turmoil in Pakistan – the power struggle and the all-powerful army’s stranglehold on governance and administration.

At the event, Biden said there were enormous opportunities for the US to change the dynamic in the second quarter of the 21st century. “So, folks, there’s a lot going on. A lot going on. But there are also enormous opportunities for the United States to change the dynamic in the second quarter of the 21st century,” the US president said.

On Wednesday, the Biden administration released the Congress-mandated key policy document, underlining the threat posed to the US by both China and Russia.

The National Security Strategy states that China and Russia who earlier this year announced a “no-limits partnership” are increasingly aligned with each other but the challenges they pose are distinct. The US Security Strategy highlighted that the next ten years will be a decisive decade of competition with China.
