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

But they can always dream, no?

And it gives them an alibi!
Instead, good folks of the media may start drafting reports about how Bangladesh economy went down the drain!
What truly transpired in that visit is anyone's guess.
And Thank God for that!
Why cant a narcissist admit when they are wrong?

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?
Then there is Myanmar and heck, Bangladesh itself till the time it remained under the boots of the previous dictators till 1990!
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?
Sharing a chain of thoughts.
1975 (First Coup)
So what exactly, does the 160,000 strong Bangladesh Army seek to do in case of a war?
Hence the move by Zaman to oust Sheikh Hasina.
On that note, do look up a map of Bangladesh and look for Feni.

Or what exactly can it do?
This tweet landed on my TL some time back.
There is reason to why I believe that.
How the Menstrual Cycle Affects ADHD - The Cut
It gives them an alibi of being of 'use' to their Nation during peace, since war is a far-fetched dream!
The yahoos let lose against the previous govt are now demanding INSTANT results from the new govt headed by the Nobel Laureate!
But we all know how it ends up for countries where the militaries take charge of government as well!
People with COPD had more carbon in their lungs than smokers in study - The Washington Post
British Army = Approx 79,000 Active Duty personnel
Make of that whatever you will!
What this means is the Bangladesh has an army that is more than the combined strength of the British and German armies!
Meanwhile, the yahoos are now begging for Indian Visas!
Fact remains that when reality dawns, all that they will have to show for it is wet underwears and nothing else!
Another thing that will bolster my claim is a quick study of high and middle level military exchanges of Bangladesh with China and Pakistan!
Like I said earlier in this thread, Md Yunus is merely being set-up to take the blame when things go irretrievably South.
The ONLY major road junction to reach Chittagong area is via Feni, which is hardly SIX Km from Indian Border!
How's that for 'serving' your country in peace, huh?
Do Republicans want to ban books and decide what your kids can and can’t read?
And how do they get to be of use to their Nation in peace, u ask?
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 chaos is already underway all over again!
:Fin:
Coming back to the China angle ..
But coming back.
One idiot actually got deported to the swimming pool that their country currently is, notwithstanding their claims of their FB getting 'hacked'!
The primary example is Bhikharistan to our West.
Still unstructured. Let's see how it goes ..
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.
Previous Bangladesh Army Coup Chiefs did the same.
Nice, no?
Zia and Musharraf did that in Pakistan.
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
Period.
What triggered this coup in the first place, when things were relatively good for the Bangladesh Army?
And now General Waker-uz-Zaman too will do the same, notwithstanding the bumbling Yunus in the forefront!
That would partly explain the yahoos gloating about severing Seven Sisters of NE India from rest of India!

Well, on its own .. ZILCH!
A very impressive motto, I must say.
I shall be eagerly waiting and watching.
German Army = 63,000 personnel
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!

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.
And now the release of yet another extremist that actually triggered this thread!
Just look at the inventory of the Bangladesh Army and you will be surprised at the sheer amount of Chinese hardware!
THIS, folks, is what a 1.60 Lac army is good for in a country like Bangladesh: To rule over the hoi-polloi.
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!
1982 (Counter-Coup)
1975 (Second, Counter-Coup)
The 84 year-old Nobel Laureate probably would have been snoozing at that time when a statement needed to be made, right?
1981
That said, they are free to dream all the wet dreams they want to.
Mark this!
I am sure the figures will spring up quite a few surprises
If you believe anything else, then I have a white coloured building in Agra to sell to you!
^^
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!
Unless, they plan to play faithful minions to the Chinese in case of a war across the Himalayas!
With this, I conclude this short thread.
Let us see the motto of the Bangladesh Army to see what they want to use those 1,60,000 troops for.
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 comes next?
The thing is, I don't think Bangladesh Army has ever been in a war!
Btw, do notice in the above tweet that the handle quoted there still calls it the Md Yunus Interim Govt.
The motto says: In War, In Peace, We are everywhere for our Nation.
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/NepCorres/stat…
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!
Surprisingly (not really!), it is the CHIEF who decides to come out in full, imposing military uniform and declares that Aal Eez Well!!
By letting lose the Ansar Bahini Paramilitary on their very students, Zaman has already shown his intent.
But there is one observation I have ..
And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops!
1975 (Yet another failed Counter-Coup)
They continued 'serving' their country in peace with coups and even counter-coups in:
Make no mistake, the Bangladesh Army has always had its sights set on the ultimate goal - To rule over Bangladesh, and 'Make Bangladesh Great Again' (to paraphrase Shri Donald Trump's slogan!)!
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.
I wouldn't be surprised if it has actually been jointly wargamed between China and Bangladesh.
Well, they use rabid, extremist Islamists to give them a fig-leaf of democratic credentials!
First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.
http://x.com/SaffronSunanda…
Same for their Air Force and Navy!
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.
Hope this chain of thoughts made some sense.
The Jamaat is already making itself felt in Bangladesh.
But that was not all!
More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.
In other times, they are leeches on the limited resources of the country.
In fact, let me do that for you!
Then tell me if you see a Chicken's Neck in Bangladesh too!
Well .. the first coup that they did was in 1975 wherein they even murdered the Father of the Nation, Mujib!
Kudos to whoever came up with it!
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.
Well, one hint can be the acrimonious visit of Sheikh Hasina to China not very long ago
