What do you think of Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman's statement that "the Bangladesh Army will always stand by the people"?

Btw, do notice in the above tweet that the handle quoted there still calls it the Md Yunus Interim Govt.

What comes next?

There is reason to why I believe that.

1975 (Yet another failed Counter-Coup)

First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.

But we all know how it ends up for countries where the militaries take charge of government as well!

Mark this!

I wouldn't be surprised if it has actually been jointly wargamed between China and Bangladesh.

Let us see the motto of the Bangladesh Army to see what they want to use those 1,60,000 troops for.

In other times, they are leeches on the limited resources of the country.

So what exactly, does the 160,000 strong Bangladesh Army seek to do in case of a war?

1981

The Jamaat is already making itself felt in Bangladesh.

:Fin:

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

To put things in context and why I found it amusing, I will just give a comparison with the British and the German Armies, sourced from Wikipedia itself.

I say it with some conviction that the utopian thought of Bangladeshi tanks and infantry rolling up Siliguri is not just a flight of fancy.

This fellow, Zaman is a bit 'smarter' than his predecessors in the Coup Business of Bangladesh Army, you see .. instead of directly becoming the dictator, he chose to plant a near senile 84-year old Nobel Laureate as the fall guy who will take the blame when chaos erupts again!

And now the release of yet another extremist that actually triggered this thread!

What truly transpired in that visit is anyone's guess.

How do fictional characters like Peter Pan from Once Upon a Time shape adolescents' perceptions of relationships and personal growth?

Surprisingly (not really!), it is the CHIEF who decides to come out in full, imposing military uniform and declares that Aal Eez Well!!

It gives them an alibi of being of 'use' to their Nation during peace, since war is a far-fetched dream!

THIS, folks, is what a 1.60 Lac army is good for in a country like Bangladesh: To rule over the hoi-polloi.

Instead, good folks of the media may start drafting reports about how Bangladesh economy went down the drain!

On that note, do look up a map of Bangladesh and look for Feni.

They continued 'serving' their country in peace with coups and even counter-coups in:

That said, they are free to dream all the wet dreams they want to.

Nice, no?

But coming back.

The motto says: In War, In Peace, We are everywhere for our Nation.

What triggered this coup in the first place, when things were relatively good for the Bangladesh Army?

A very impressive motto, I must say.

By letting lose the Ansar Bahini Paramilitary on their very students, Zaman has already shown his intent.

Kudos to whoever came up with it!

In fact, let me do that for you!

Well, they use rabid, extremist Islamists to give them a fig-leaf of democratic credentials!

How's that for 'serving' your country in peace, huh?

Make of that whatever you will!

Or what exactly can it do?

http://x.com/SaffronSunanda…

That would partly explain the yahoos gloating about severing Seven Sisters of NE India from rest of India!

What we have seen are merely the opening shots of a long period of gloom and doom in Bangladesh, thanks to its 'well-meaning', 1.6 Lac strong army.

Same for their Air Force and Navy!

And yet again, just a few weeks ago came yet another statement by the Bangladesh Army Chief that instead of a coup, the democratically elected Prime Minister had 'chosen' to step down and that a new govt would soon take over!

But then, what are the chances of a Himalayan War and in it, Bangladesh Army faithfully carrying out their Cheeni Master's orders of marching into the Siliguri Corridor, that too with any reasonable chances of success?

Just look at the inventory of the Bangladesh Army and you will be surprised at the sheer amount of Chinese hardware!

And how do they get to be of use to their Nation in peace, u ask?

Then tell me if you see a Chicken's Neck in Bangladesh too!

What this means is the Bangladesh has an army that is more than the combined strength of the British and German armies!

But that was not all!

Another thing that will bolster my claim is a quick study of high and middle level military exchanges of Bangladesh with China and Pakistan!

The primary example is Bhikharistan to our West.

Well, on its own .. ZILCH!

Because I doubt what they would do in case of a war with India, or for that matter, even with Myanmar, given their tenuous link with Chittagong Hill Tracts via Feni!

And what does an army that needs to rule a country do, especially in case of 'pious' countries and 'pious' armies of the Indian Sub-Continent such as Pakistan and Bangladesh?

Well, one hint can be the acrimonious visit of Sheikh Hasina to China not very long ago

This tweet landed on my TL some time back.

With this, I conclude this short thread.

As the dust settles (figuratively) in the immediate aftermath of this 'revolution' and the flood waters drain out, will come the business of governing this chaotic country and more than that, managing the ambitions of those within the army itself.

Like I said earlier in this thread, Md Yunus is merely being set-up to take the blame when things go irretrievably South.

Now THAT would be a thing to watch .. how long Zaman manages to hang on to the power from behind the curtains and how fast Bangladesh goes to dogs, literally, because figuratively, it already has!

Meanwhile, the yahoos are now begging for Indian Visas!

But what happened after the diplomatic spat in all probability, was that the Chinese gave the order to their faithful minions of Bangladesh Army to pull the rug!

http://x.com/SouleFacts/sta…

The thing is, I don't think Bangladesh Army has ever been in a war!

But there is one observation I have ..

Unless, they plan to play faithful minions to the Chinese in case of a war across the Himalayas!

More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.

1975 (Second, Counter-Coup)

I do not put it past the Bangladesh Army to have had alternate and surreptitious channels of communication with their Chinese masters whom they dream of faithfully serving some day, even if at the cost of wet undergarments!

Well .. the first coup that they did was in 1975 wherein they even murdered the Father of the Nation, Mujib!

Hope this chain of thoughts made some sense.

And it gives them an alibi!

Fact remains that when reality dawns, all that they will have to show for it is wet underwears and nothing else!

Well, all those rosy stories about Bangladesh becoming an economic 'miracle' can be filed away in a safe locker for the next couple of decades atleast.

What we are seeing in Bangladesh today is the return of the erstwhile West Pakistani Occupation Army, but this time in the form of Bangladeshi natives doing the dirty job of repressing and depriving their own people.

Still unstructured. Let's see how it goes ..

While size of an army by itself is not a metric to pass judgments, but what I found really interesting was what Bangladesh Army would do with such large numbers

German Army = 63,000 personnel

The ONLY major road junction to reach Chittagong area is via Feni, which is hardly SIX Km from Indian Border!

Then there is Myanmar and heck, Bangladesh itself till the time it remained under the boots of the previous dictators till 1990!

http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…

I am sure the figures will spring up quite a few surprises

The 84 year-old Nobel Laureate probably would have been snoozing at that time when a statement needed to be made, right?

Hence the move by Zaman to oust Sheikh Hasina.

One idiot actually got deported to the swimming pool that their country currently is, notwithstanding their claims of their FB getting 'hacked'!

And now General Waker-uz-Zaman too will do the same, notwithstanding the bumbling Yunus in the forefront!

And Thank God for that!

1975 (First Coup)

Previous Bangladesh Army Coup Chiefs did the same.

Sharing a chain of thoughts.
