thats a good summary you've given... thanks a lot for that....
I am more interested in the geopolitical game that is played around such systems.... e.g. think about the purchase, supply or deployment of these systems in different geographical area.... they certainly would mean different things...
thats a good point you've brought up.... range of missiles are related to their purpose....
and the Patriot certainly doesn't have the same purpose as that of S-400.... which is why they're not likely to have a similar profile....
regarding export of such missiles to other countries, it depends...
definitely.... but you have to know that the British acquired that huge territory with BRITISH people from the BRITISH ISLES.... and that territory is still tiny!..... the same thing is for the Dutch....
thanks for clarifying....
yea, there are some limited options in the market for sure....
and anyone willing to shop, has to shop within that limited option keeping geopolitical balance in mind...
well said....
but it also needs to be communicated to some that Bangladesh is not a Sikkim that they always try to prove.... they want to prove that Bangladesh is a "basket case" and cannot progress without Western aid.... those days are history and is known by everyone now.... so, either they...
these are paltry offers to offset the lack of deal on WATER....
India can try, but it can't satisfy Bangladesh just through this type of poor bribing efforts...
well, even its not overplayed, it still is the best option available.....
it has a deterrent effect that can't be ignored.... this deterrent is now desired by quite a few newly emerging powers in Asia and Africa.... its true that Russia may restrict the distribution of S-400.... yet, Russia may...
I doubt that, brother..... even though its not impossible over time, given the rate of their decline....
but for now, its important for BD that they feel the pressure....
we need to plug our gaps quickly.... this is our time....
thats exactly what I had been talking about.....
these are "kisu misu" stuff that India presented to hide the fact that there is no deal on WATER!!
neither Tista water-sharing..... nor Ganga Barrage agreement..... NOTHING!!
they made a joke by inviting the PM over there and offering the same...
well, this is more of an eye-catcher.... these have little value unless they result in some strategic agreements, which I don't see....
e.g. there are so many power plants being established now-a-days that its difficult to keep track of each.... and this list includes the Rampal project, which...
usually defined?.... by whom?....
then Britain and France and the Dutch should be in which place?.....
some good points indeed!
but you may need to add the most important resource.... intellectual power....
that is what defines HOW to use population, economy, technology, military, etc...
of course BD people are with China.... and China also wants Bangladesh to be strong, so that Bangladesh can take independent decisions.... not being a vassal of ANY STATE....
Bangladesh has the task of balancing all the powers around.... and BD will do this fine.... that is in her own...
why do you think that someone has to take a stand against the state because he doesn't like Hasina?
Mr Modi treated her a state leader, not an AL leader.... the same for BD perceiving Modi as the PM of all of India.... which is why BD is telling Modi that water issue belong to Modi; we just...
its ridiculous to think that one fine morning when we wake up, we would see India gone from our window.... India is there and would be there as long as the Creator wants it, in whatever name it may be.... we have to live with that fact.....
and Bangladesh is on the trajectory that none can...
