Why US has always played fourth fiddle to India, China and Russia in Bangladesh?

[Tom-tom]

US always chest thumps when it comes to Bangladesh but always beats a hasty retreat.

Most famously in 1971 when they beat a hasty retreat from the Bay of Bengal - leaving their Pakistani allies stranded.

Then in the famous 1/11 meltdown of the BNP.

But why?

1. US really has nothing much to offer BD having labelled it a basket case. US is only interested in countries with mineral resources and BD has none.

2. Bangladesh is a single ethnic state - which means US cannot use its divide and conquer policies to ferment ethnic strife like it did in Vietnam, Libya to Iraq.

3. Bangladeshis cannot be co-opted to fight for the USA. We didn’t fight for the British empire either!! We are not like Pakistanis or Gurkhas or Sikhs or Khurds etc etc USA is desperately trying to get us to fight its wars against China - but it knows we WILL NOT.

On the flip side the trio of Russia, China and India are offering huge investments.

1. Russia will build and operate our biggest infrastructure (Roopur Nuclear) for the next 25 years.

2. China built our biggest bridge, first tunnel and EPZ. And our largest source of FDI.

3. India is our largest trading partner and about to become our first free trade partner.

No Bangladeshi government will upset the above trio for Uncle Sam.

USA is trying or has been trying it's best to push bdesh into Indian hegemony. On flip doesn't fully trust India either as they are not white and not Christian. Also want to keep India poor as much as it can for long as possible
.

Ppl will say USA is doing so much for bdesh look at our exports. These products are bought my businesses and business ppl not USA gov.

It’s an irony that I grew up in the west and am fully assimilated in white culture. We even had stuffed Turkey, roast potato and crackers YESTERDAY!!! Our tree lit up

But I do not see it as superior!

It’s an irony that we (lighter skinned Sylhetis) do not see the whitemen as superior but the blackies in Dhaka want to worship the whitemen.

It’s truly baffling!!!



Imran Khan kept praising Bangladesh and was obviously envious of Hasina.

He went to Russia with love but returned back to face American hate!

There's something wrong with you , there plenty of light/brown and dark syhletis . You need a massive slap.

Imbeciles here think that the USA is doing BD any favours by buying 10 billion US dollars of goods from it every year.

Even in garments it would take many months if not years to re-source specific garments from others suppliers, especially as BD is starting to go up the value-added chain now. It is no longer mainly a supplier of dirt-cheap garments.

As BD no longer makes the really cheap clothes and so there is limited options to resource away from BD at very short notice. Also people forget that it will take time to ramp up production in alternative suppliers as there is never too much idle capacity waiting to be utilised.

Like I have said before USA is pretty much irrelevant in BD geopolitics and the imbeciles cannot give a compelling reason why USA would want to get rid of Hasina as she has no malice towards the USA or the West in general. BD people love everyone!

USA really has nothing to gain from regime change in BD as in this ever changing world it is in USA's interest to remain on friendly terms with a Muslim country that is stable and growing its GDP very fast.

Why would the US sanction BD for BNP?

What would BNP give in return?

Remember, US will have to confront ModiG as well?

Why on god’s earth would USA do that for BNP?

Did USA do anything when RAW brazenly helped kill Zia and then dumped the body by roadside?

I went too far and I apologise!

But these slaves make my blood boil!!
