On paper, yes. Most certainly. But stop and think for a moment. Any conflict with Burma would put us into conflict with India, where they have invested many interests over there, and competing with China for influence. That could put us into a two-front war which we cannot afford. Arming...

Did I say to take in Rohingyas as citizens? No. What I suggested is to give them humanitarian assistance as refugees. Understand the difference. Should they require asylum, they should be assisted. And there are people willing to help. Look, if we don't do anything, it will hurt us in the...

Some folks here were saying that if we give formal refuge to the Rohingyas, it would translate into some sort of 'surrender' that the Burmese can freely dump unwanted populations into 'poor Bangladesh'. This isn't the case. All I'm saying is that we should gather as much information about that...

Bangladesh shares a border with Burma and what is happening over there is on our doorstep. And I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a concern under something called common sense. And it has nothing to do with trying to become a 'superpower'. Albeit in bad conditions. I'm not even sure if that...

The situation over there had been getting worse. How can you say your stance is a correct one? What are you trying to say to the world by such a stance? That you are tough? :lol: Would that intimidate Myanmar? You should know that they are a stubborn people. It is not simply a matter of dumping...

Not to mention that we were refugees once.

In my opinion, the only thing that needs to be avoided is creating another Pandora's box. Another Israeli-Palestinian situation must be avoided no matter what. Tough words will not get one far. Bangladesh lives in an age of conflict. And those conflicts need to be managed. Are we as...

Do that, and you will ensure their extinction. And armed by whom? Hmm? Bangladesh? UK? Because that's not going to happen. Like ever... Allowing refugees along with international support and coordination does not translate to entertaining the Burmese. This is wrong way of thinking. Rather, we...

That doesn't quite help answer the questions there now does it? Politics aside, it is your country's responsibility to take care of its citizens abroad regardless of which ideas they believe in. Coming to your points, yes definitely coups are wrong no matter which point of view one looks at...

Turkey - a Diet-Coke version of Syria.

https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-Affirms-Bangladeshs-Ba3-Rating-Maintains-Stable-Outlook--PR_364325 Google is your friend. Depending on the user's maturity, one can tell a lot about a person based on what one posts here. I have been told by Pakistani users here that wealthy Arabs tend...

I apologize for nobody, child. And neither should you. And where did the subject of blasphemy in Pakistan come from? It is not within the context of the discussion and, one I'd say is their own internal matter. Ever heard of an ex-Administrator here known as 'Agnostic Muslim'? It is not nice to...

Does anyone know about Bhutanese opinions on the matter? I really do not see any out there. From my experience with them, they are an extremely laid-back bunch. They were participating in an anti-terror drill. Many countries do these kinds of multinational exercises. Though I agree, it looks...

Now where did I deny that there were problems? It is either you are a truly dense person or a complete idiot. Intellectual dishonesty at its finest! I am guessing you are still a student with an O-levels/A-levels background along with your even younger friend here. And since your generation...

Reality is a b!tch...

Then...why are you here? o.O

He's right actually, a war between them would impact Bangladesh and the neighborhood badly. That war won't benefit anyone. Only terrorist groups will benefit. Just imagine in an escalating war, the Indians start firing on Chinese cargo vessels and vice versa. Imagine the merchandise was ours...

mmm...true there's potential there. But we shouldn't be dreaming too much either. Reminded me of this article I read nearly 2 weeks ago. http://www.thedailystar.net/star-weekend/spotlight/employing-our-burgeoning-youth-population-1432747 It is a worthy read.

Well, that was fast! Wrong. A country can have many languages and ethnic groups and be one country. So what is the problem? And if you want to go to Islamabad with a kitchen knife and force them to comply with your views, then go right ahead. It is their country, their affairs as much as...

You are looking at it from a political/civilian point of view. Mine is from the military. Something akin to a BDA. Understand the difference. And it wasn't some 'Malaysian library'. It happened to be an international book retailer which is situated under the Petronas Towers. And yes, I did...
