Within 2050 or so the red flag may rise over a 8000 Sq.Km Indian ocean Island west of Burma in the BOB at the entrance of malacca strait thanks to a rising PLAN. It would be a historic day won't it?
India is an important non-NATO ally of U.S. even though our GOI doesn't recognize this fact officially but its an open secret and most of the Indians consider the Yankees as friends,so i don't think that anyone in India will be concerned about the U.S.N. leasing a base in Bangladesh(as Indo-Bangla relations are quite friendly)!Careful mate. I guess already by reading this they have wetted their DHOTIS....
mate can i ask a simple question which is you want a security assurance from India against whomStop trolling!
No one in Bangladesh or the US ever said anything about a naval base in Chittagong.
It is the Indian media that claimed it without any proof of such. More specifically, Times of India.
The US is still today's superpower. Only a fanboy would say otherwise.
China? Ming-class subs and F-7's?
To access hi-tech heavy weapons, Bangladesh needs a common defense policy, which it doesn't have at present. From who weapons will be sourced, researched and developed depends on how much we benefit.
While China and the US had given us some degree of security assurances, India on the other hand had given close to zero.
?i mean come on you of all these people should know that India won't attack BD in the near forseeable future(heck we haven't been aggressive to you guys in the last 4 decades).then comes Myanmar,and i am quite sure that the BD armed forces are more than enough to tackle Myanmar effectively.
