Do you guys think nuclear weapons can be used? You guys always fanfare with this thought but do you really know what was the result of atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I have seen steel members and big stones that melted and changed shapes. Do not live in a fool's Heaven with cherishing its use ever.

Bangladesh needs economic development and terrorist-free environment and not atom bombs. Like some other country in India's west, BD people do not want to eat grass to build atom bombs to show itself off to others with this hollow achievement when people live in miserable conditions and the rich Western people come to snap their photos.

BD is not going to follow and appease Pakistan who have been following the wrong path all along. The BD signing reflects the wishes of its people and the people throughout the world.

Pakistan who have been following the wrong path all along

If Pakistan did not have nukes it would be divided at least 4 parts today, not all countries in the south Asian region have the luxury of being India's favourite pet, you should be grateful to Pakistan for its taking the burden off Bangladesh by being on India's bad side and its resources pointed at us, for if there was no Pakistan, you would be India's worst enemy especially with this right wing nationalistic regime, your economy is growing at faster rate amongst SAARC countries, which means your also a threat to their wishful hegemony in the region.. don't be so naïve to think you will keep enjoying 'these' warm relations with India.

The only problem with Pakistan is it's corruption went unchecked for so long, we should of had an economy at least 2.5 its current size today, but atlas that's not the case.. our compromised establishment would rather see us fail then prosper..

Yes, I agree with your assertion about the equation between the three countries. I believe, tension with Pakistan in the west is playing a defence role for Bangladesh.

However, I do not buy your nuclear formula. It has virtually no function. Do you think, your govt will unleash a nuclear warhead to Delhi whatever may be the reason? It is not a deterrence. Nuclear weapons are not children's toys that can be thrown at ease. Conventional weapons and people's mental strength are the main factors.

As for Baluchistan, do you think India would have divided Pakistan into four had you not the bombs? No, Baluchistan issue has been created by the unmindful Punjabi dominance over the Province at the expense of making the Balochis anti-Punjab and anti-Pakistan. Pakistan military should re-think about its treatment of the Baloch people.

India will not fight for them but the USA wants it to join with Afghanistan for the landlocked Central Asian countries to get access to the Arabian Sea via this corridor in order to take them away from Russia. No doubt, India will support this but without firing a bullet and by using its human assets inside Baluchistan.

The establishment of this corridor is also the destruction of CPEC.

Ohhhh so sad bd was very near to test nukes

It is not I am proposing such a venture between Baluchistan and Afghanistan. But, open the map to see that the Central Asian Republics and the USA need it. I do not see the USA to send troops to the area to start a conflict. It is and will be creating issues in Baluchistan with the assistance of Indian moles there.

How do you expect any Chinese involvement to safe keep its CPEC corridor when there is a general rebellion? The military generals should find ways to solve issues in Baluchistan. However, I suspect a large deficiency of sincerity in them.
