Yes agree . But also don't want to give up our control. Do not want to accept the fate like Pakistan . I want a military pact that will not cost us too much in future . That's why wee need to control our country in strong hand ( military back behind curtain), so that no religious politics should emerge .
Personally I have no issue with religious politics though if they remain in Masjid and socially influential , but we certainly are not going to tolerate any brotherhood aka jamati types who will prefer Ummah concept over nationality and will create chaos. Because so called Ummah lover political parties actually do nothing for ummah ( atleast 2013-2015 violence in Bangladesh was not beneficial for Ummah by the way ) . They are also actually like lamb coated wolves , same as sanghis ; that;s the reason I call sanghi Jamati bhai bhai . So if we can keep such parties away from direct politics , perhaps relationship between us and USA will go well .
So if govt can control them and can maintain current stability , I think our relationship will go better with USA .
One thing we should consider and that is , in 1962 sino indo war when Indian army retreated to Bhutan , then Chinese honored the border and did not pursue, so it's clear that China honored a very small country bhutan. Bhutan is actually protectorate state of India . Still china honored the border line .
So if we had border with China , we would not have to be worried , but it would be very beneficial for us . Our India dependency would be reduced , even we could ignore them totally if it would be necessary .
China is our tested ally , so bad Mouthing china should not be an option . Of course we want defence pact with USA , but about china we will take our own decision , and USA or any other countries do not need to be concerned . We will keep friendly relation with both USA and China .
So the future will let us know if china is washing brain or Not . I want a very good relationship with USA , but if it comes at the cost of our relationship with china , thenI disagree ! If any option will be given as mandatory ,
I will choose China every single Time , because
China is more tested ally . It's my personal opinion though . Please feel free to share your opinion further .
