who is going to occupy bangladesh?

Occupation comes in 100 ways and forms. So if I speak broadly, Myanmar and India.

 

[harpy1]

Yes but when war is forced on Bangladesh in future when they are a trillion gdp by 2040 imo easy the can deal with it because they did the hard work first

You give too much credit to indians. By that you effectively say pakistan army is trash. Which it was not even in 71 standards.

The Army wasn't trash, the military didn't have the capabilities back then to defend a province that was more than 2,200 km away.

Buzdil India hasn't been able to repeat that sort of invasion and terrorism on any of the Western provinces to date.

We will have our revenge against India sooner or later Insha'Allah.

Yi'it dushtu'u yerden kalkar - A brave hero rises up from the place where he falls down

It all started in 1906 by the Nawab of Dhaka (strangely, the family's origin was in Kashmir). In 1971 in Dhaka, it received it's biggest hiccup. And, from Dhaka it'll launch its final journey to greatness, Insha'Allah. And, it's the final and full revenge....

Ten years from now, Bangladesh is likely to become one of the most economically developed countries in South Asia and to have one of the highest GDPs per capita among the region's three major countries. Bangladesh urgently needs to strengthen its military capabilities and modernize its armed forces.

If BD wants to survive then they will need to open up their territory to Pakistani and Chinese intelligence and military.

There is no free lunch in this neighborhood. They are in no position to play the neutrality game.

If they don't pick a side and arm themselves, India will consume them eventually. Economy means nothing when you are weak, it can disappear overnight after a few HVT airstrikes.

this is more like Pakistanis begging bangladeshis to be cannon fodder against India
china did not protect Iran despite Iran's indispensable role in supplying petroleum.
some countries are not defensible because of geography. belgium comes to mind.

if bangladesh is really insecure, build nukes and move on

No such thing.

India invaded a Pakistani province along with Mukti Bahini terrorists, dismembered it and installed a puppet Government. The End.

And that invasion happened in a Vaccum ?

Your interpretation of Historical facts is giving Hasbara vibes. Let’s not lie to ourselves anymore. There is no need for it.


Bureaucracies are cold & cynical, especially a colonial one that had to assess, recongnise & read different cultures & nations to rule over them.

Both sides were equally prejudiced & bigoted. 1971 was always in the offing. It could have been slightly less bloody.

India was merely opportunistic & frankly pretty stupid.

Yahya was debauched & a pretty useful idiot. Islamists were naive & delusional, while Biharis the actual victims of the whole tragedy.

L take. With a growing economy you need a military capable of protecting that economy through deterrence. Economy will not grow if big powers can bully you for their advantage.

The way warfare is headed to, Bangladesh doesn’t need Squadrons of jets. There are other more effective & less visible options to build deterrence & security. Big powers are almost always bullies, it’s the nature of power. But they are almost always easier to manipulate too & successfull smaller powers are always more manipulative & clever. Bangladesh is clever as any other nationality or state in the region.

Although it’d be extremely foolish of India to attack or get in to hostilities with Bangladesh, but you can’t put it past the low iq lecherous lot in charge of India these days. In their desperation & in a bid to save their image they might just do the unthinkable.

They need to be an elite version of Hezbollah than a proper national army; even the Swiss are a better model than what they are trying to become, aka Indian or Pakistani army 2.0.
Bangladesh needs a porcupine defense.
Pakistan to be like a cheetah: fast, effective, agile, but not too burdensome.
India is fine with its elephant army.

the current bangladeshi army is more than capable in tying down invading Indian forces
