Days after Joe Biden's 'dangerous' remark about Pakistan, US makes a u-turn
On: 18 Oct 2022 11:23 AM

Biden was talking about Russia and China and other matters of global concern when he said: “....And what I think is maybe one of the most dangerous nations in the world: Pakistan. Nuclear weapons without any cohesion.”​

• The US Department of State issued a statement that appeared to contradict the commander-in-chief’s remark.
• This comes after Biden's remarks sparked a backlash from the country's government in a variety of ways.
• The ruling government was first prompted to summon the US envoy.

Days after US President Joe Biden made his "one of the most dangerous nations" remark about Pakistan, the US Department of State issued a statement that appeared to contradict the commander-in-chief's remark.

The US has always viewed a "secure and prosperous" Pakistan as critical to its interests, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel was quoted as saying at a briefing by news agency PTI.

"(The US is) confident of Pakistan's commitment and its ability to secure its nuclear assets," he said at the news conference.

This comes after Biden's remarks sparked a backlash from the country's government in a variety of ways. The ruling government was first prompted to summon the US envoy. Then Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif issued a strong statement, calling the US President's remarks "factually incorrect and misleading."

"Let me reiterate unequivocally: Pakistan is a responsible nuclear state and we are proud that our nuclear assets have the best safeguards as per IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) requirements," Sharif wrote in a tweet. "We take these safety measures with the utmost seriousness. Let no one have any doubts," he further added.

Last week, Biden was talking about Russia and China and other matters of global concern when he said: "....And what I think is maybe one of the most dangerous nations in the world: Pakistan. Nuclear weapons without any cohesion."

"So, folks, there's a lot going on. A lot going on. But there's also enormous opportunities for the United States to change the dynamic in the second quarter of the 21st century," he further said.

It is better to have a regular guy imposed as an Emperor for life on the population and no option to choose. Pls Xi, Putin, help US learn the way of the future by how incompetent men think they can become kings and rule over a great population

Xi served 10 years, many leaders around the world served longer terms than Xi, Angela Merkel served 16 years as Germany's chancellor, Lee Kuan Yew served as the Singapore's Prime Minister for 31 years... you conveniently forget many of long serving state leaders.

China doesn't follow general election system, China follows meritocracy which elections happen in selected specialized groups. General elections are like popularity contests, anyone with or without administrative experience can become a state leader overnight, actors, stand comedians, athletes, models, billionaires...

China is ran like a corporation. The CEO is chosen based on ability further China's national interests and not on who can make the most empty promises.
This is a Chinese internal matter and Chinese people support the CCP. You as a non Chinese has no business telling Chinese people how China should choose it's leaders.

If the American people really voted for a senile pervert into the office, they are the dumbest people on earth.

If the American people really voted for a senile pervert into the office, they are the dumbest people on earth.

In other U.S. elections, candidates are elected directly by popular vote. But the president and vice president are not elected directly by citizens. Instead, they are chosen by “electors” through a process called the Electoral College.

This is the first democrat that I have seen who isn't lying about our nukes. He has earned some bonus points.

Many people don't care. Electeded or not electeded. What system is good or bad. I just want the Progress. Chinese brought 70 million people out of poverty in last 30 years. Second every supper power brings its own system. When Muslims were rulling the world they brought kalafth. When British came they brought democracy. Amaraicns came they brought Presentation system. Soviet came they brought Communism. Chinese are coming with Communism.
Democracy is for those countries where the education system is very good. Look into Pakistan and India. In Pakistan people vote on kemy wala nan. In india people vote on botel of votka.. I tell you every superpower do propaganda against its adversary....
