    Totally true. They have been badmouthing us to other Muslim countries including the wealthy gulf Arabs, but that tactic isn't as effective as before for a couple of reasons and plus the gulf Arabs e.g. Saudi are angry at the Pakistani betrayal over Yemen. The Pakistanis want us to be their...

    A couple of corrections to educate you. 1. Bangladesh is an independent sovereign state which has not had foreign military bases unlike Pakistan which: - Has US drones bombing Pakistani nationals - Has US troops going in to Abbotabad to kill bin Laden - Has Gulf Arab royalty using Pakistan as...

    Before attacks, we threw out Pakistan diplomats ‘working undercover’: Bangladesh “And recently few diplomats, who were working undercover in the Pakistan Embassy, were thrown out of the country because they were involved in armed networks,” Hasanul Haq told reporters. Pointing fingers at...

    If it's Pakistan behind it then we have to apply certain measures, and if it's the US we have to use other tactics. Yes, terrorism is terrorism but depending on the mastermind the solution will vary.

    I really can't comment much on your post specifically because I don't have the expertise you do in this field here are some general comments. 1. Pakistan can use dirty tricks but they are a failed terrorist state, divided in half, with 41 million people without toilets, where Wahabis, Shias...

    Anant, 1. The Chinese won't be happy to see the US in Bangladesh. The Chinese are smart and sensible people. They know the US is far worse than India and see the US as a far bigger enemy e.g. the US has bases in South Korea and Japan and is against China in the south China sea. The US is an...

    1. Army was traditionally very pro-Pakistan, pro-BNP and you had many rockey71 type guys there. Rockey himself is senior ex-military personnel. 2. However the cadre of officers trained in Pakistani academies and the Pakistan period has now been replaced by ones taught in Bangladesh, a new...

    Apparently Italy wants a ban on Bangladeshi exports to the EU. Much more of this then the position of the Hasina government becomes unsustainable and the Americans will have kicked her out via the ISIS terrorism stuff. Bangladesh cannot survive with sanctions like this.

    Ok let's say it was the ISI what do we (Bangladeshis primarily and India - as it seems from GOI officials India stands behind Bangladesh on this issue) do about it? 1. I don't think there is that much we can do besides internal anti-terrorism measures. Diplomatically Saudi Arabia and Turkey...

    Whether Pakistan was or wasn't involved in this particular operation the fact is Pakistan is a hostile enemy state involved in terrorism against Bangladesh, so you're preaching to the converted anyway. On this forum and another forum I have even started a thread about Pakistan sponsoring...

    1. Pakistan's modus operandi is different. Forget about backing a few terrorists they installed an entire government. The BNP-JI govt of 2001-2006 was essentially a Pakistani vassal state and from a geo-strategic viewpoint was basically an "east Pakistan", it was the optimal scenario for the...

    Yes Bangladesh basically has one product. Garments. It's still to a degree reeling from the Savar tragedy which is what many white westerners think of when they think of Bangladesh.

    1. Pakistan, was, is and will be ruled by the military. Pakistan is the military. The Pakistani military hates Bangladesh as even the very name reminds them of their humiliation in 1971. The only way this "pain" can be alleviated is with a compliant pro-Pakistan vassal regime in Dhaka...

    My 2 cents. 1. US behind this. I think ultimately the US is behind this. - The US and its CIA in conjunction with its local sub-contractors such as the ISI in Pakistan, the MIT in Turkey and the Saudis is known for being the ultimate creator, sponsor and beneficiary of Salafist-Jihadist...
