Excl: US proposed guarding Bangladesh Border against terror & Indian Threat

[Z Bhai]

What a pathetic news .... they will be guarding our border. What ? Free ? Its kind of like this Times Now is another **** like Fox news

 

[Kaniska]

I have presented my view...BD foroum members are welcome to have their views and dreams..But be practical in your thoughts...Like India is not as important like China to USA...Simillarly BD is not statergic to USA in comparison to Pakistan...So if you think otherwise you are welcome...

I saw in one of the post it has mentioned that USA can connect to SE Asia from BD...But the question is usa is pretty much well connected with SE Asia...

This ought to be a "kite flying" exercise by Indian intelligence.

" And that why Manmohan Singh must have told Myanmar during his recent visit "Bangladesh Muslim population, heritage and culture are danger to Myanmar " and "US will use Bangladesh Muslim population, heritage and culture to reign in Myanmar". Good to know which angle india will run its propaganda. We just need to be careful more about india harming Bangladesh and its interest than US."

Manmohan Singh isn't jamati idiot, is he?

In another thread another pathological liar rajakar naved hritom attributing made up quotes to manekshaw. Jamatis and rajakars will never learn and keep being the pest they are.

 

[kobiraaz]

What is the definition of Jamati Lab0ng? How naved ritom is a Jamati? What are his criterias?

 

[LaBong]

^ their deeds in past and present, the ideology they believes in, although jamat e ulema e hind no longer follows maududi, but bd and pak fractions of jamat remained what I described before.

 

[kobiraaz]

Abir bhai, it is not that easy to become a shibir activist ... They have to maintain a lot of things... They are most organized group... You have seen Naved's message to me... No Shibir will ever use those words.... naved is not shibir, he will have no place there.... They will throw him out.....

 

[LaBong]

Doesn't matter farhan, all such religious organisation are disciplined but fringe elements will always be there, take an example of RSS. It's the ideology that matters, if a jamati stays true to his ideology that is what maududi has preached he will act exactly what jamat has acted back in 71.

Since the US base issue is running on multiple threads, I am posting the same post on all such threads:

China may be the future hyper power of the world in about 30-50 years, but at this moment it is not. Today that position belongs to the US. Also as a country Bangladesh has two economic pillars, Garments exports and remittance from migrant workers. Garments market is mainly in the US/West and migrant workers or expats are mainly in US allied and protected GCC states as well as US/West. Chinese economy now is around 7.4 trillion, whereas US/West economy is around 34 trillion. So the choice is obvious, beggars cannot be choosers.

Like the gentleman from US said in his post, the US will leave when Bangladesh asks them to leave, so I see no reason why Bangladesh cannot give the US a base, if they ask for it for their Asian Pivot policy:
America's Pacific Century - By Hillary Clinton | Foreign Policy
Obama pivots policy toward Asia | Stanford Daily
Power Pivot or Duffer
The American Pivot to Asia - By Kenneth Lieberthal | Foreign Policy

http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R42448.pdf
US Asian pivot calls for Japanese strategic response | East Asia Forum
Pacific pivot: America

I think the pivot policy will eventually fail, as China cannot be contained like Soviet Union and it will not break apart like Soviet Union. Essentially it will be just one more failed foreign policy blunders by State Dept. But that is another story. For that please look at:

http://www.defence.pk/forums/world-affairs/180755-geopolitics-asean-region.html

But in the short and medium term, we can make lemonade out of a lemon, work with the US to:

- reduce RAW/Indian interference in Bangladesh
- keep Bangladesh secure against Indian threats (water terrorism, border violence, defaming Bangladesh as a terrorist infested state etc.)
- improve relation with Myanmar and make the road connection a reality (which is also a US-China convergence of interest)
- become a full member of ASEAN

China will always remain our close neighbor. When we want to improve our relationship with China, if the ASEAN+ project fails for some reason, we can always ask the US to leave and give the base to China instead. But ideally I would like to see that we succeed as a part of ASEAN+ union, instead of becoming a vassal state or pawn of China and see Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia ships replacing US ships, when the ASEAN+ union takes off.

I"m waiting for the Chinese response on this.

Traditionally the Indian Army is very averse to US presence in the subcontinent.


If the current proposal stabilizes Bangladesh, then it is certainly in India's interest. But sounds too sweet to be true.

 

[LaBong]

US already has a naval base in Indian ocean , no point getting another in Bangladesh.

Indian ocean ain't that near to China though. Bangladesh is near to China's soft underbelly : Tibet

Yeah but don't think India would ever allow military expedition to Tibet through her territory, also it's not easy to keep supply line intact through Himalayas.

military expedition seems bit too off, more like some intelligence, hint: check the wikileaks for recent American opinions on Tibet.

Having turban and tuft of hair in his chin, Modon-mohan Sardarji indeed looks like a mora Tableagui
that needs Viagra unlike you; the Ardvani to erect skinny, nanga, malnourished legs and jerk knees off while frothing 'Terra, Terra' by pointing fingers at PAK/BD in Kolkata's street. And perhaps the after effect of Junta's Modon Mohan hang over, sway by Buddhist Su Ki’s finding on Chanakya's extermination of 1000s of monks for 100 of yrs. So, don't expect a great turnaround of Mora Modon's preaching against Muslim's phantom bullying on neighbors.

You, Mordi a Purudh Baffon, aren't you?
