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

Make of that whatever you will!

Hope this chain of thoughts made some sense.
Is the Shia claim true that Imam Ali was born inside the Kaaba?
In fact, let me do that for you!
What triggered this coup in the first place, when things were relatively good for the Bangladesh Army?
British Army = Approx 79,000 Active Duty personnel
Citigroup lifts banking curbs on gun makers and sellers - NBC News
But there is one observation I have ..
And now the release of yet another extremist that actually triggered this thread!
That said, they are free to dream all the wet dreams they want to.

German Army = 63,000 personnel
How's that for 'serving' your country in peace, huh?
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!)!
What misfortune led to an important discovery?
They continued 'serving' their country in peace with coups and even counter-coups in:
A very impressive motto, I must say.
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!
Is Russia’s evacuation of navy ships from Syria a sign of declining influence in the Middle East?
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!
If you believe anything else, then I have a white coloured building in Agra to sell to you!
Why don't some people like the 10 Commandments?
Hence the move by Zaman to oust Sheikh Hasina.

With this, I conclude this short thread.
Liberals, why don't you like Conservatives?
Sharing a chain of thoughts.
Like I said earlier in this thread, Md Yunus is merely being set-up to take the blame when things go irretrievably South.
I am sure the figures will spring up quite a few surprises
The Jamaat is already making itself felt in Bangladesh.
Zia and Musharraf did that in Pakistan.
What this means is the Bangladesh has an army that is more than the combined strength of the British and German armies!

Mark this!
Instead, good folks of the media may start drafting reports about how Bangladesh economy went down the drain!
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?
More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.
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!
Coming back to the China angle ..
Or what exactly can it do?
Then tell me if you see a Chicken's Neck in Bangladesh too!
Then there is Myanmar and heck, Bangladesh itself till the time it remained under the boots of the previous dictators till 1990!
There is reason to why I believe that.
The motto says: In War, In Peace, We are everywhere for our Nation.
^^
What truly transpired in that visit is anyone's guess.
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!
The 84 year-old Nobel Laureate probably would have been snoozing at that time when a statement needed to be made, right?
The yahoos let lose against the previous govt are now demanding INSTANT results from the new govt headed by the Nobel Laureate!
Kudos to whoever came up with it!
But coming back.
The thing is, I don't think Bangladesh Army has ever been in a war!
In other times, they are leeches on the limited resources of the country.
THIS, folks, is what a 1.60 Lac army is good for in a country like Bangladesh: To rule over the hoi-polloi.
Period.
Let us see the motto of the Bangladesh Army to see what they want to use those 1,60,000 troops for.
http://x.com/SaffronSunanda…
The primary example is Bhikharistan to our West.
But we all know how it ends up for countries where the militaries take charge of government as well!
Same for their Air Force and Navy!
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!
:Fin:
1975 (Second, Counter-Coup)
Well, one hint can be the acrimonious visit of Sheikh Hasina to China not very long ago
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!
And how do they get to be of use to their Nation in peace, u ask?
http://x.com/remottouch/sta…
First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.
And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops!
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!
1981
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.
And now General Waker-uz-Zaman too will do the same, notwithstanding the bumbling Yunus in the forefront!
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.
But they can always dream, no?
One idiot actually got deported to the swimming pool that their country currently is, notwithstanding their claims of their FB getting 'hacked'!
Well .. the first coup that they did was in 1975 wherein they even murdered the Father of the Nation, Mujib!
Surprisingly (not really!), it is the CHIEF who decides to come out in full, imposing military uniform and declares that Aal Eez Well!!
On that note, do look up a map of Bangladesh and look for Feni.
Unless, they plan to play faithful minions to the Chinese in case of a war across the Himalayas!
Previous Bangladesh Army Coup Chiefs did the same.
1975 (First Coup)
Btw, do notice in the above tweet that the handle quoted there still calls it the Md Yunus Interim Govt.
I shall be eagerly waiting and watching.
1982 (Counter-Coup)
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
http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…
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, they use rabid, extremist Islamists to give them a fig-leaf of democratic credentials!
Meanwhile, the yahoos are now begging for Indian Visas!
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.
But that was not all!
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?
Well, on its own .. ZILCH!
The ONLY major road junction to reach Chittagong area is via Feni, which is hardly SIX Km from Indian Border!
I wouldn't be surprised if it has actually been jointly wargamed between China and Bangladesh.
It gives them an alibi of being of 'use' to their Nation during peace, since war is a far-fetched dream!
And Thank God for that!
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.
So what exactly, does the 160,000 strong Bangladesh Army seek to do in case of a war?
That would partly explain the yahoos gloating about severing Seven Sisters of NE India from rest of India!
Just look at the inventory of the Bangladesh Army and you will be surprised at the sheer amount of Chinese hardware!
Still unstructured. Let's see how it goes ..
By letting lose the Ansar Bahini Paramilitary on their very students, Zaman has already shown his intent.
And chaos is already underway all over again!
Another thing that will bolster my claim is a quick study of high and middle level military exchanges of Bangladesh with China and Pakistan!
Nice, no?
What comes next?
This tweet landed on my TL some time back.
1975 (Yet another failed Counter-Coup)
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.
