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.

^^

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

Why is Nickelback known to be a bad band?

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

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

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

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

A very impressive motto, I must say.

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!

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!

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

1982 (Counter-Coup)

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

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

Creatine supports brain and muscle health during every stage of life - Earth.com

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

Meanwhile, the yahoos are now begging for Indian Visas!

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

What role did China play in the signing of the "Beijing Declaration" between Fatah and Hamas? What other information is worth noting for talks among Palestinian factions in Beijing?

Period.

But there is one observation I have ..

The primary example is Bhikharistan to our West.

What destroys relationships between actors in Hollywood?

This tweet landed on my TL some time back.

If you believe anything else, then I have a white coloured building in Agra to sell to you!

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

Is Computer Science worth 5 years from now? I am interested in learning Python. Should I start studying on my own? Will AI fully replace the coders? Lastly, should I change my career?

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

:Fin:

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!

Several people killed in school shooting in Austria's second biggest city, police say - NBC News

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

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?

In fact, let me do that for you!

What are some best sources of great porn?

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

British Army = Approx 79,000 Active Duty personnel

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

1975 (Yet another failed Counter-Coup)

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

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

But coming back.

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!

Sharing a chain of thoughts.

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

Previous Bangladesh Army Coup Chiefs did the same.

There is reason to why I believe that.

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

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.

And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops!

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

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

http://x.com/SouleFacts/sta…

But that was not all!

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

Well, on its own .. ZILCH!

Or what exactly can it do?

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

Zia and Musharraf did that in Pakistan.

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

Hope this chain of thoughts made some sense.

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

I shall be eagerly waiting and watching.

1975 (First Coup)

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

http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…

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

What comes next?

And chaos is already underway all over again!

The yahoos let lose against the previous govt are now demanding INSTANT results from the new govt headed by the Nobel Laureate!

And it gives them an alibi!

http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…

Hence the move by Zaman to oust Sheikh Hasina.

But they can always dream, no?

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

Nice, no?

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!

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

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!

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 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!

http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…

German Army = 63,000 personnel

And Thank God for that!

1981

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?

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

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

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 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.

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

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

With this, I conclude this short thread.

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.

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.

Coming back to the China angle ..

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.

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

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

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

http://x.com/SaffronSunanda…

Kudos to whoever came up with it!

1975 (Second, Counter-Coup)

Make of that whatever you will!

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

Same for their Air Force and Navy!

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

The Jamaat is already making itself felt in Bangladesh.
