“We’ll Take Half the World Down With Us”: Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Makes Nuclear Threat on US Soil
In a stark escalation of rhetoric, Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, issued a chilling nuclear threat from US soil during a private black-tie dinner in Tampa, Florida. The event—hosted by honorary consul Adnan Asad and attended by members of the Pakistani diaspora—saw Munir warn that if Pakistan were to face an existential threat, “we are a nuclear nation. If we think we are going down, we’ll take half the world down with us.”

Emphasizing strategic leverage, Asim Munir also addressed India’s move to place the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance. He claimed that such actions could put 250 million people at risk of starvation, and threatened to destroy any Indian-built dam with “10 missiles,” stating Pakistan has no shortage of missiles.
During the same address, Asim Munir drew attention for using a striking metaphor to describe the imbalance between the two militaries—comparing India to a “shining Mercedes” and Pakistan to a “dump truck full of gravel,” warning that in a collision, it is not always the flashier vehicle that prevails.
