A new reality for Bangladesh.

[Banglar Bir]

Muslim countries are important for Bangladesh mainly for long term perspective. Bangladesh need to build close diplomatic and defence relation with muslim countries, Turkey,Indonesia,Iran,Pakistan can help Bangladesh to build a strong domestic defence industry as well as source of cheap, quality weapon.Their moral and diplomatic support also important in case of any hostility with Myanmar or India.By forging close relation with Arab countries and Malaysia, Bangladesh can increase man power export, which will strengthen our economy.

 

[UKBengali]

We need China India for our infrastructure development and trade.For that we should master the geo-political game of harnessing benefit from Sino-Indian rivalry, which is going to be big in coming decades.And our political and defence relation should be with Western and Muslim world plus Japan and S.Korea.We need to look at Singapore or Thailand, pro-western countries with big trade relation with China and India.

Time has come to shift away from Chinese weapon and diversify the sources. American, Russian, Turkish, S.Korean, French,Italian,Swedish,Pakistani sources should get priority.But most importantly we need to enhance our own domestic weapon production capability many times. We need to target to produce all our light and medium sized weapon at home by 2030.Tanks,APC,AFV,military vehicle,trainer air craft,frigate,corvette,OPV should be build locally.Submarine,fighter aircraft,Radar,Air defence,attack helicopter should come from various sources.

China BD needs.
India is utterly useless and minimal relations short of hostility need
to be maintained.

BD is surrounded by Modis terror Matta. Having good relations with the country are in the best interest for BD as BD cannot afford to anger Terror Matta, the consequences are too high for BD.

 

[mb444]

BD needs to be confident. In an armed conflict neither India nor china would intervene on behalf of burmese monkeys.

What this issue has proved is that china can not be trusted.

No one including BAL ever really thinks India is a friend.

BD needs to maintain equidistant from India and china and move towards US until it is time for recalibration.

 

[American Pakistani]

Bangladesh first need to get rid of Hasina group.

Increase in defense budget should be a top priority too. How does this even make sense, that a country like Bangladesh who have huge population almost same as Pakistan and good growing economy has neglected defense sector completely. I've seen many Bangladeshis dreaming of having a strategic location if North Eastern states disintegrate and form new countries, dreams are good but one has to be proactive to acheive those dreams. If north eastern states were independent countries today, there could be a possibility of having a new independent country of Arakan, one can only imagine the strategic location and value of Bangladesh then.

 

[CHACHA"G"]

What IF??????????
What if BD's Govt (past and present) especially Hasina spent 5 to 7 Billion $$ on Defence , BD can surly afforded that , Instead of giving false hopes and falling for India.
What if BD had her own foreign policy , Instead of becoming a ***************** of India ????

My answer to this is right now BD might have taken Whole Rakhan region without facing any problem in Defence and Foreign Relations.

Now , People of BDs have to think , and have to ask there Govt , They have to take a stand , so they can not only safe BD from India , but they can also take a Place in International Community that they deserve.

For that get rid of every thing that is pro India , Have every thing Pro BD , India can not attack you at this stage , it is to risky for them, But you can't guarantee the same thing about future.
Time have come For BDeshis , act as quickly as possible , Be pro BD, Get rid of Any element pro India , Build up your Armed forces.

Although many BD members here claim they have more common with Indian hindus then Pakistanis or any other Muslim Nation , but still India is totally different country then BD, If BDeshis really want to have a country then they have to take a stand against India , I m not saying attack India , but having a strong country in all aspects is good.

I have been saying this for years but most BD people think that a strong defence is a waste of money.

 

[Advocate Pakistan]

I have been saying this for years but most BD people think that a strong defence US a waste of money.

How is a strong defence a waste of money?
I mean the BD has a large Muslim population and they must know that when the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S-A-W) passed away he had 7 swords hanging to his room's wall while there was no flour in the house.

I have never understood the mentality of most of my fellow BD'shis.
Look at it this way, if BD spent just 0.5% more of GDP on defence over the
last 20 years then it would now be so much more powerful than Myanmar, that
they would not dared have tried this as BD could have bombed them literally
back to stone age.
Hope 1 million Rohingya and maybe the 500-600,000 still left in Myanmar being
pushed into BD will finally knock some sense into BD'shis.

 

[Shorisrip]

Neither India/China is our ally as we can clearly see. They are only strictly allies in business matters. We should rather form greater relations with the Muslim world, as well as the West, and Western oriented nations in Asia (Japan, South Korea etc). We do not need allies just for the sake of having allies, because they can turn out to be bad allies like in this case. Instead, our choice of friends need to be nations with strong human rights/moral conditions, as to avoid disasters like this.

 

[Bilal9]

American, Russian, Turkish, S.Korean, French,Italian,Swedish,Pakistani sources should get priority.

Let me re-phrase this further by saying that our indigenization of basic weapons should be helped primarily by Turkish (aerospace, naval) and Pakistani (infantry, armor, missile) sources in addition to China, which is continuing.

Indigenization (becoming self-sufficient) in weapons technology should be a NUMBER ONE thrust sector, not only for our own defense needs, but for export possibilities to Africa and South America as well. We are doing some of it, but even compared to Pakistan, we are so far behind.

We should have become self-sufficient in basic armor weapons such as MBT's, Armored Transport, Howitzers, MRAPs, Armored Anti-tank Missile platforms a LONG time ago, either through ToT or self-development. More than enough expertise exists locally to make that happen. That successive govts. continued to neglect this sector is SHAMEFUL to say the least.

Disagree Bangladeshi have nothing in common with Pakistan. Many Banglais have openly rejected Pakistan and have aligned themselves with Narinder Modis Hindustan. Pakistan and Bangladesh are the total opposite.

I think you are listening too much to the religious zealots' brainwashing in Pakistan. Over 70% of the women in Bangladesh won't be wearing hijabs (probably as much if not more than Pakistan) if Bangladeshis had religiously or culturally "nothing in common with Pakistan" and had "aligned themselves with Narinder Modis Hindustan". One can be Islamic-minded without being extremists in any country. We proudly maintain and will enforce (by blood if necessary) our own religious and cultural identity instead of someone trying to impose something on us which is not ours.

Since Bangladesh economy is now is at par with - if not better than in Pakistan, it is high-time for some extremists in Pakistan to let go of their prejudices and the tired old 'bhukhey nangey' Bangali and other patronizing stereotypes some Pakistanis still harbour about Bangladesh (which was a racial misnomer anyways). In the long run - this type of attitude won't help Pakistanis as far as trade and other ties.

Few in Bangladesh (if any) harbor any anti-Pakistani feelings now (1971 was a long time ago which current generation Pakistanis had no part in perpetrating), and those people in Bangladesh who do harp about 1971, do so because of 'Political Faida'. I don't see Pakistanis bad-mouth Malaysians or Indonesians, then why us? It only helps the seated political party in Bangladesh in furthering its agenda which most Bangladeshis are not so much in agreement with.

Bangladesh need to build close diplomatic and defence relation with muslim countries, Turkey,Indonesia,Iran,Pakistan can help Bangladesh to build a strong domestic defence industry as well as source of cheap, quality weapon.

Like I said, our indigenization of self-sufficiency in basic weapons should be primarily helped by Turkish (aerospace, naval) and Pakistani (infantry, armor, missile) sources for ToT in addition to balancing the rest of our advanced technology arms-supply relationship between China and the West. This way we help our fellow Muslim countries for basic weapons as well as balance out arms sourcing and ToT from more advanced technology sources.

By forging close relation with Arab countries and Malaysia, Bangladesh can increase man power export, which will strengthen our economy.

This needs to be diversified as well. We need to supply not only basic unskilled labor to some countries but also specialized expertise such as doctors and engineers to those Middle Eastern, African and South American countries which agree to our basic set of requirements and standards concerning safety and personal security.

Bangladesh about to begin export of arms.In the last few years, BOF expanded it's weapon production so much that, Bangladesh is now surplus in producing light weapon and ammunition and decided to start exporting them.

Army need to expand the works in BOF manifold and should start collaborating with China, Turkey or other countries to get technology to build heady weapon like Tank, MLRS,Artillary,AFV,Missile etc.Some recent news on arms production and export-

Bangladesh is about four times bigger than Myanmar in terms of nominal GDP and its purchase power has substantially increased with a healthy foreign currency reserve.

BD may be four times larger than MM in terms of GDP. But, it lacks bravery needed to remain a nation. Neither it has the ability to develop its physical infrastructure nor it has the mind to fight a war. It will always by seen as a pitiful country by the world. GDP and others are not the factors. GDP is not the main issue. Issue is if this nation is at least as domineering as MM is.

Because it lacks the bravery trait in its genetics, therefore, it was very easily kicked into submission by England, next it was the Punjabis who dominated over it. Now, it is India and very recently it is MM. I wonder, why there should be a nation on this Earth called Bangladesh.

 

[Nilgiri]

I wonder, why there should be a nation on this Earth called Bangladesh.

There really shouldn't be. Hopefully rectified soon. Stay tuned. 2018 + SHW "elections" will play a nice role. Delta can have a more stable existence after few more lines in the swamp drawn....and they are wetted amply with some excess blood that BD people always in a rush to hack and sever for...guts are optional (given they lack big time in BD people).

A weak and ingrate "country" never stands for any length of time....because it points inside for excuses (which it can much more readily act upon) after it has run the gamut of outsiders to blame....and the outsiders are done using it for their own purposes and it has turned into a liability than benefit and does not want to reverse.

Very foundation of East Pakistan is all one needs to read about to get enough perspective of this thing called Bangladesh today.

Poor BD people thinking 1971 is the only truly bad thing that visited them (and in their lunacy they inflate and distort the badness beyond all sense and reason to get a rush of morality that they were LONG devoid of before). That was the 20th century, the century is a new one now.....the swamps and rivers are hungry, they want to be fed and only your blood and bodies will do. Don't disappoint...and you will not be missed by anyone....in fact we will say good riddance.

Now , People of BDs have to think , and have to ask there Govt , They have to take a stand , so they can not only safe BD from India , but they can also take a Place in International Community that they deserve.

For that get rid of every thing that is pro India , Have every thing Pro BD , India can not attack you at this stage , it is to risky for them, But you can't guarantee the same thing about future.
Time have come For BDeshis , act as quickly as possible , Be pro BD, Get rid of Any element pro India , Build up your Armed forces.

Bd population are not at all pro-India. It is that BAL party and their few supporters at the top who worship India. Today, the problem is a pro-India party and Hasina have stolen the last election.
