Former Pakistani Ambassador Hussain Haqqani took a sharp taunt at Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Monday (27 October). In fact, Shahbaz Sharif had praised US President Donald Trump, after which Haqqani called him the gold medalist of ‘Trump’s flattery Olympics’.

Shahbaz Sharif, while posting on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), wrote that Trump has played an important role in resolving the border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia. He also said that Trump’s efforts have saved the lives of millions of people around the world.

What did Shahbaz write in his post?

Shahbaz wrote in his post, “I express my deep gratitude to President Donald Trump, who saved millions of lives around the world through the KL Accord, Gaza Peace Plan and efforts to establish peace and stability in the Middle East and South Asia.” After this statement, former Pakistani Ambassador Hussain Haqqani targeted him and wrote, “Fareed Zakaria had jokingly said that if ‘flattery of Trump’ is considered an Olympic sport, then the Prime Minister of Pakistan is still winning gold in it.

Pakistan’s PM still in the lead for Gold in what @FareedZakaria surmised might be the Olympic Sport of flattering Trump https://t.co/wZNwyP9qqe

Shashi Tharoor also reposted

This post of Haqqani was also reposted by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. This is not the first time that Shahbaz Sharif has praised Trump. Recently, during the Peace Summit held in Egypt, he had called Trump “Man of Peace”. Not only this, he also claimed that Pakistan has sent Trump’s name for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Shahbaz had said, “I sincerely feel that Trump is the most worthy candidate for peace. He established peace in South Asia and saved the lives of millions of people.” However, after these statements he was trolled heavily on social media. Many users said that Shahbaz Sharif has tarnished the image of the country and made Pakistan a Trump-friendly nation.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has received the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025. US President Donald Trump was also considered a big contender in this race, but due to Trump’s defeat, the biggest loss has not only been caused to his image but also to the diplomacy of Pakistan which had openly bet on Trump this year.

Pakistan had placed a big bet on Trump
This year, Pakistan formally nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, calling him a ‘supporter of peace’. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir went to Washington in August and met Trump at the White House. The Pakistan government described this meeting as a new chapter in US-Pakistan relations and publicized it extensively through press releases and photographs, but with Trump’s defeat, Pakistan’s efforts backfired diplomatically.

Didn’t get Nobel, Pakistan’s plan went waste
Pakistan had tried to show that India-Pakistan tension had reduced due to its cooperation by calling Trump a ‘symbol of peace’, but the Nobel Committee ignored Trump and honored Machado, which weakened Pakistan’s argument. India had already rejected Trump’s claims of mediation. The Indian Army had said that the ceasefire was achieved by direct agreement between the two countries and not by the role of any third country.

Hopes of economic partnership also dim
Pakistan had pinned hopes on partnership with the Trump administration in the field of oil and minerals. Trump had mentioned Pakistan’s ‘huge oil reserves’ and said that in future Pakistan can also sell oil to India. But in reality Pakistan has only 0.02% of the world’s total oil reserves. Both Trump’s claims and Pakistan’s expectations were far from reality.

Distance from Beijing, trust in Washington
By nominating Trump for Nobel and openly supporting him, Pakistan had tried to distance itself from Beijing and show inclination towards America. This step was considered a major change in Pakistan’s foreign policy, but after Trump’s defeat, this strategy has not only weakened, but Pakistan is now also facing diplomatic embarrassment.

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif is often in the news for his statements. This time he targeted the US and Israel during a conversation with Jio News Channel and said, “American leaders openly take bribe from Israel. When they have to take bribe, they take secretly and not openly.

Khwaja Asif alleged that the US bureaucracy and defense officer are directly finance from the Israeli lobby. American leaders take money in broad daylight, while Pakistani leaders are defied that they take secret money. He said that the American system is running completely on parole.

Questions raised on Pakistan’s lobbying
Interestingly, the Israeli lobby which Khwaja Asif was criticizing, Pakistan itself is spending crores of rupees on American lobbying firms. Since the Trump administration, Pakistan has contracted at least 7 lobbying and legal firms in the first 8 months of 2025. The profiles of these firms have been done very carefully. These include the current and former officers of the White House, lawyer fighting international lawsuit and experienced strategists of Capital Hill. This report states that Pakistan is also part of the same system, which its ministers are openly criticizing.

Statement against America
This is not the first time that Pakistani Defense Minister Khwaja Asif has given a statement against America. Earlier, he had said in an interview that America continues to create quarrels in the world. They do this to sell their weapons. America earns money with its help. His weapon industry is very large and is an important part of his economy. Countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, Libya, who were once rich, have now become pauper by fighting war.

The recent statement of Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir has brought a stir on the international stage. He threatened a nuclear attack against India on the US visit, which has been taken very seriously in the US. Former US Pentagon officer Michael Rubin described this statement as completely unacceptable and said that it questions Pakistan’s global image. Rubin even said that the time has come that the world should think whether Pakistan is eligible to maintain its place as a responsible country.

Michael Rubin compared General Munir’s rhetoric directly to Osama bin Laden’s speeches. He suggested that the US should immediately withdraw the status of Major Non-Nato Ally from Pakistan. In addition, he demanded that Pakistan be put in the list of State Sponsor of Terrorism, which can increase the ban and pressure on global levels. According to Rubin, Pakistan should be the first non-Nato ally in this category.

Rubin raised questions on American generals
Rubin also surprised why when Asim Munir threatened this from the US land, why did the American generals not walkout with him with meetings. He called it a serious lapse and said that the generals who did not do so should resign immediately. This comment also indirectly pressurize the US military establishment, which is likely to adopt more strict attitude in such cases in the coming times.

Potential diplomatic results
Rubin demands that until Pakistan officially explains and forgives this statement, General Munir and any other Pakistani officer should be declared as Persona Non Greta (unwanted person) in the US. This would mean that these officers will not get American visa and they will not be able to step on American soil.

Operation Sindoor, run by the Indian Air Force, was not only a military campaign, but it has become a symbol of India’s strategic maturity, technical advancement and extraordinary scheme. Under this operation, the Indian Army launched accurate and powerful attacks on terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK).

In this operation, India used its latest fighter jet Rafale, which targeted its targets by dodging Pakistan’s air defense system. The most special thing about this entire campaign was that Pakistan did not realize the attack until the Indian aircraft ended the target. Pakistani media and government machinery may be trying to deny it, but from satellite image to international defense experts reports, it has become clear that Operation Sindoor was a military shock for Pakistan.

J-10ce vs Rafael Pakistan’s confusion and India’s reality
After this operation, Pakistan claimed that its Chinese-origin J-10ce fighter jets ‘collided’ India’s Rafale aircraft, but did it really happen? According to the website Quwa, who is aware of defense affairs, the success roots of Pakistan Air Force are actually hidden in the 70 -year -old American training system. Quwa claims that in 1950, the US gave modern aircraft like F-86 Sabre to Pakistan as well as a ‘operational system software’, which included training, squadron management and technical infrastructure, but when it comes to the real battlefield, there is more strategy, accurate and mental morale than technology. While Rafael has capabilities like multi-target engagement, low observability and Meteor missile, J-10ce is a new toy for Pakistan, which has been purchased from China.

Rafael has met the test of war
J-10ce may be technically capable, but his credibility in war is still in the process of testing. On the other hand, the Rafael has met the test of war, whether it is preparations after Kargil or Balakot Strike. Now let’s talk about that mysterious ‘software’ which websites like Quwa are repeatedly exposed.

According to Quwa, Pakistan not only got advanced fighter jets under the Mutual Defense Assistant Program (MDAP) launched by the US in 1950, but also transferred an entire Air Force Management System. It has a separate department of depot-level maintenance system, rigorous protocols and operations, maintenance and administration for flight safety. Air Marshal Asghar Khan played a big role in implementing this entire system. Even the headquarters of Pakistan Air Force were removed from Rawalpindi to Peshawar, so that its identity could be separated from the army.

Pakistan defense minister khawaja asif: Has Pakistan abandoned China as soon as there were galas from America? This question is because Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif has described the news of buying Stealth Fighter Jet J-35 from China as baseless. In December last year, Pakistan announced to purchase 40 fighter fighter aircraft from China.

After Operation Sindoor, China also talked about delivery to Pakistan soon. But in a conversation with an Arab channel, Pakistani Defense Minister Khwaja Asif has described the news of buying J-35 from China as a media produce. It is clear that along with US President Donald Trump, there is a preparation to give a lot of lunch in the White House of Pakistani Fled (Field) Marshal Asim Munir as well as China’s friendship.

Pakistan was engaged in increasing its military strength with the help of China

During Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force had destroyed 11 airbases along with Pakistan’s terrorist bases. The Pakistani air defense system failed to stop India’s fighter jets, missiles and drone attacks.

In fact, in collaboration with China, Pakistan was engaged in continuously increasing its military strength. After taking a warship and submarine from China for the Navy, Pakistan signed a Sugar Stealth Fighter Jet J-35. In the next 24 months, the delivery of China J-35 was to do Pakistan. However, Khwaja Asif has connected the J-35 deal to the stunt to purchase Chinese weapons.

Pakistan announced to buy China’s fifth generation stealth fighter aircraft

In November last year, China introduced its second stealth fighter Jet J-35 Sheenyang in front of the world. Fifth Generation Aircraft J-35 was officially introduced by China at Zuhai Air Show held from 12 to 17 November 2024.

China wants to field its J-35 in the field against the US F-35 stealth fighter jet. Before Zuhai Air Show, by sharing pictures and videos on social media, China had also expressed his intention to export countries like Pakistan. It was believed that China would export J-35A to friendly countries.

Pakistan uses China’s JF-17 and J-10 fighter aircraft

The Pakistani Air Force uses indigenous fighter jet JF-17 and J-10 fighter aircraft purchased directly from China. The inclusion of J-35 was expected to increase the strength of the Pakistani Air Force significantly. It was believed that Pakistani fighter pilot started taking training on J-35 in China.

Khwaja Asif asked China for help during Operation Sindoor ,Thank you,

However, in an interview with Arab channel, Khwaja Asif praised the help received from China during Operation Sindoor. According to the Pakistani Defense Minister, China shared the satellite intelligence related to India’s missile deployment.

It is noteworthy that Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif is known for his disputed and without head-foot statements. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry keeps dismissing for his statements or a cleanliness has to be presented.
