IMO it's pre-historic. I would actually like such a source telling us about the conditions/politics/environment of our armed services.Gives the true picture, these unofficial sources.

We need to relocate a lot of people.This is where other national strategic issues arise.whether it's losing land due to soil erosion or along the borders , people have lost homes and arable land and are moving to the city.The other 6 cities should be developed more in order to stop this.Also...

Does the Chittagong Hill Tracts insurgency mean anything to you?It should.When the Jumma tribes rebelled against the govt/Bengalis, India not only supplied them with arms but also sent army patrols inside BD territory.Proof of this?Those Indie soldiers got killed and some injured.It was all...

It's probably outdated regardless of designation.

Israel was also supposed to punish Iran,no?:unsure: I think Erdogan could have been more subtle in his response.Should have kept the diplomats,yes.

can you please elaborate?The pre-emptive strikes were a result of Egypt closing the Straits of Tiran? Blame the British.They should have involved both of them in some sort of an agreement.Or did they want to?Correct me again if I am wrong, my knowledge is very limited with that trouble region.

I used to be a hardcore BNP supporter once.They hardly accomplished anything other than make some some economic progress. At least Hasina engaged with the Indians and solved problems while the other unsolved ones were not her fault.But Mamata's drama is a sword the BNP has found and they will...

Actually the 1967 War was a pre-emptive strike by Israel, but Israelis justify that the Arabs were gathering troops on the border and were prepping to attack. And then the 1956 Suez Canal War saw Israel participating in it along side the Europeans.I don't know much about the latter, was Israel...

I think this was the reason elements from our military started supporting ULFA.Revenge of some kind and I can't blame them.It was a poor choice though.I would rather concentrated on the tribals rather than creating more trouble. Originally, the award of the Boundary Commission was to be made...

I did not find any other thread directly dealing with this topic. I just wanted to know the current political status of the region and military and security forces deployed in the area.Precisely what kind of control does the BD govt have over this area or are they totally autonomous?

People I live in Dhaka and travel a lot using the city's public transportation.and I am pissed off by the fact that we didn't get the Worst City award.Because it is. Population!POPULATION!Unplanned growth! It's crazy here.It feels like the entire population of the country lives in the city...

If Indian hackers didn't do what they did(no matter how trivial it was) I would have found this improper.Otherwise I loved this, best way to send messages(no matter how poorly prepared) to the Indian govt. Congratulations, your beloved Hasina is not getting re-elected next election...

^He faced harassment because of his religion.and He's of Palestinian descent.He was provoked years before as BBC put it.I guess he couldn't take it anymore.That said his acts aren't justifiable. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8347586.stm

Okay,I don't get this all. Can a nuclear device be carted off just like that by a group of gunmen?Simply like that?

we definitely need more powerful security(Border and Coast Guard) and naval forces.Economic growth in BD however won't be hampered by defence expenditure,but because of corruption.

^third eye, Leon is right.we faced such situations before so this time we were right to be worried.

IMO,"student politics" is a more serious threat to the country than terrorism of any sort.

I think he was rather speaking in BD's context.BTW I hope my fellow Bangladeshis have seen today's newspaper headlines and the articles.Really disturbing.

apparently and good news for us then.

Okay about Myanmar what's the situation NOW? I don't want to back seat moderate but can we get back to the topic?
