Should we allow U.S to set up a base at BOB?

[Michael Corleone]

You know what happens to a promiscuous lady? Everybody takes advantage but none come for help during a crisis. Realistically only India can provide safety, security and stability to Bangladesh, be loyal to India, you will gain, but act smart, and you will lose a good friend for 10 fictitious friends, and suffer the consequences.

Oh, by the way, China won't come to your rescue if India gets offended.

worry about lasting more than 2 days in wars with the ammunition and aircraft supply shortage in your country against pakistan and china.... you sure do know how to come in your pants fast.

Both are pretty old news, but considering current situation should we consider an U.S base at BOB? Obviously It will not be liked by our big neighbors!

well, first... the quote below should be comment of the year 2017 on BDforum...
second... you've to think about other strategic factors.... getting US means saying bye bye to china... which means more and more weapons other assistance and more US political influence... and rise in extremist attacks naturally because this is US we are talking about.

why you want to make BD another Afghanistan ? beta emrcan aaty hamari marzi se hain jaaty apni se hain . when they left nothing left in that country

Imagine the political sh*tstorm if we lend some islands to the US.

"We are selling our sovereignty,ze américains are taking over our country,De Gaulle would turn in his grave."

You should have seen the total circus when our army bought few thousands Ford Rangers.

frenchmen and women would go nuts.... maybe behead their president in the heat...

Well, evidently China and Pakistan do not share your optimism.

Come on you know you can weasel something big out of us. Maybe 2 300 MW nuclear reactors for your carrier.

Lol! Why would DeGaulle turnover in his grave? As if he was against the Normandy invasion? Other than he not liking us being chummy with the Anglo-Saxons, Vietnam, NATO, and well everything not French what would be his gripe?

Ach,I always think that we should buy products based on quality and competitive on price even if they have to be Americans.

We have to put away our foolish pride and get realistic. Too much national companies are milking (or trying) the state and selling total junk at exorbitant prices,but putting forward that "it's better to buy and support local.... "...... sometimes it's true,but sometimes it's entire BS. There are too many exemples I should list.

If you want one,French car groups are selling total garbage and unfit police role vehicles models to the Home Ministry at exorbitant price. When the few fords we have are really up to the task. Clearly better and much competitive on price.

Especially the Ford Ranger,mamma mia !

Clearly the fords save the face...

In fact,the army will even buy thousands of a militarized version of the ford everest to replace the almighty P4....

Well we have a big market for cars over here and foreign cars have a large marketshare...however some brands have not done very well. The French brands are the first to come to mind. Also Italy's Fiat. Volkswagen is trying their best to stay at the bottom (even Subaru outsells them and I can't even name a Subaru model).

Give us some Islands in the Indian Ocean and we'll let your cars back in!!

Some models are good,however some are also junk. Truth must be said. Look,I own a German car !

Well, why would they considering people who bumped chest with them backed off from their territory for the "second" time.

Bet 50 that SUV will fail in performance characteristics when compared with Prado (similar sized SUV from Toyota)
