I'm glad you know what's up. Most of those poor laborers who build that shit are also exploited, some are never paid. And are you aware thousands of them are KILLED? Bangladesh alone gets 5,000 people every year in body bags. Weirdly, they claim most died by suicide. First of all, that's not...

It's always the same answer from people when I talk about the size of BD roads and infrastructure. The congestion is the problem. Making roads and infrastructure wider is the solution. There IS enough land. Singapore by density is higher than BD but their roads are wide and buildings are large...

Then why isn't Armenia and Azerbaijan firing missiles at each others cities? Why aren't their planes dropping bombs over them? Even Russia didn't do so with Georgia or Ukraine, they only fought over their disputed regions. This isn't even a Pakistan-India or a US-Iraq/Libya/Vietnam level of...

Yes, one should consider their enemy stronger but that's all BD *has* been doing. In fact, above and beyond. Even our diplomats are neutered on the issue. Their 400,000 troops cannot even defeat rebels in their own country! Please read my earlier posts. I outlined that a BD-MM war is not to be...

Pakistan must also be very careful who gets put on the list. A couple points to remember on who may get caught up: 1. Political opponents may be maligned. 2. In the US, you could piss in the side of a public park in the middle of the night and end up on a list now labelled a "sex offender"...

Saudi Arabia, UAE and other Gulf states do not want Muslim Brotherhood because MB wants a republic while the Khaleejis want a fiefdom. They see the entire Muslim world as their fiefdom as well. They want everyone else in civil war or poor because it makes them powerful in comparison (and access...

Toy exports, really? I can't imagine that going anywhere. Will probably just flood the domestic market and export to maybe a few African countries or Nepal. I wonder how much pollution it'll cause without providing any net long-term benefit. They're plastic products after all. Pollution during...

Gotcha. I literally had no idea. I've seen that word thrown around so much online that i thought you guys used it. What term do you prefer?

Bengal Sultanate extended up til the Kaladan river at the very least. Pakistan suffers from ethnic and tribal in-fighting so one should not delude itself trying to emulate that. But yes, on an individual basis Pakistanis are willing to defend themselves domestically and abroad whereas the...

Russia and Iran share a direct maritime border via the Caspian Sea lake. Why isn't Russia selling weapons to Iran covertly? If Iran falls it leaves the Russian central region directly vulnerable even more. If deals are made publicly, the news of that is the biggest threat to transactions. But...

When will Russia sell Iran advanced weapons given that Russia is itself under sanctions? For sanctioned Russian arms companies, it only makes sense to sell to other sanctioned states.

Indian online scammers are now targeting other Indians? Maybe its time for Indian authorities to take this seriously finally. Because these scams bring in millions every month to India and Philippines they largely ignored these awful crimes that usually target elderly and the most vulnerable...

The problem is like most Chinese real estate, people aren't living in it. So the water is stagnant and the plants have overgrown and become a home for insects and mosquitoes and eventually its going to cause cracks in the balconies and structural damage. Went from looking beautiful to looking...

Paperwork and redtape is the biggest obstacle. Corruption is second. It is extremely difficult for entrepreneurs and foreign investors to do start-ups or expand into the country because people don't know what business requires what paperwork and where to get it all done. And if you're a...

BD always has been and shall be playing a balancing act by not taking sides. Yet it also has ties with all three countries and has extensive trade ties with India and China. Therefore, BD must be strategic and utilize the US to counter Myanmar. This in itself can be made to serve US interests...

Our agricultural model is a complete dumpster fire. BD is supposed to be the Breadbasket of Asia, it should be exporting food, not importing. We have the most fertile and arable land in the word because we have more rivers per inch than anywhere else on the planet! Instead we've suffered...

I agree with you about modern Bengalis being cowards, but why are you saying things like "falsified 3 million killed"? Going in that direction is not productive, it becomes a distraction to the issues at hand. It's not that Myanmar is courageous per se. Myanmar is an ethnically divided state...

There isn't a single road, highway or footpath in BD that isn't built super NARROW. So this doesn't surprise me one bit. It's like people have completely forgotten we have over 160 million people in this country. Why does everything have to be built small? That's why there's traffic jams and...

China isn't going to to help BD with Myanmar because it "doesn't get involved with country's internal affairs". China only deals with India because they have major territorial disputes. China has strategic interests with Myanmar, just like India. There are 2 gas pipelines from Myanmar's sittwe...

India is only a long-term threat, Myanmar is the immediate and long-term threat UNLESS they are handled with. Once you handle Myanmar then India itself will back off. Everybody takes advantage of someone who allows themselves to be pushed around. I disagree the border shootings are entirely...
