BD Military Might

[Ideas_R_Bulletproof]

Large in terms of population, yeah...but usually largest is used to define size/area etc.

usually defined?.... by whom?....
then Britain and France and the Dutch should be in which place?.....

Nation means people.So largest nation means largest population.So @Species is correct in his assertion.

Geographic size is one of the weakest parameter for a country to project power and influence.More important are population size,size of economy,technological advancement,engagement in world politics etc.

some good points indeed!

but you may need to add the most important resource.... intellectual power....
that is what defines HOW to use population, economy, technology, military, etc....

the rise of Bangladesh currently is in the intellectual realm..... the state is still technologically not in a very high position.... poverty is still there among a good number of people.... the military capability is still limited... the economy is not one of the largest (though very important if we consider Indian Ocean Rim)....

intellectual power is what has give Bangladesh an upper hand in world diplomacy.... IORA Summit in Jakarta, IPU conference in Dhaka, recognition to Kosovo, Chairmanship of OPCW, buying of submarine.... there are many.... and pipeline is very very long in the coming days.... just wait and see...

@asad71
When "Bangladesh" is made a vessel state of india and all arrangement are done to operate military under indian dictate. How "military might" would be matter for vessel state? Could you explain?

This nation has a history of uprooting users. We have drowned invaders in our marshes. This nation is far far larger than BAL or SHW. Nope, nobody is going to make us a vassal.

well said....
but it also needs to be communicated to some that Bangladesh is not a Sikkim that they always try to prove.... they want to prove that Bangladesh is a "basket case" and cannot progress without Western aid.... those days are history and is known by everyone now.... so, either they are absolutely stupid to understand that or deliberately fulfilling Western agenda...

a powerful Bangladesh is the future.... no other option... anyone trying to give a different direction has a different agenda...

Google largest country and it will give you Russia even though it has a population 1/10th of China. Britain and Netherlands are certainly not among the largest countries. Although British empire at its peak was indeed the largest empire.

definitely.... but you have to know that the British acquired that huge territory with BRITISH people from the BRITISH ISLES.... and that territory is still tiny!..... the same thing is for the Dutch....

Centrifugal tendencies are now visible in WB, Assam and Tripura. With them we will complete our eventual political state. We are a people who have always been tolerant and liberal shunning extremist ideas except when fighting invaders.

This nation also has history of loosing independence because of traitor like Mir Jafar = Awami league/Hasina. Sure in principal nation is far larger than awami league or Hasian BUT reality is awami league with indian help holding the nation hostage at gun point.

statement like "Nope, nobody is going to make us a vassal" could be a wish BUT looking at current situation, one (who knows and care) can not be ducking head under the sand and ignore the reality.

If India moves in, people will rise up with bamboo or whatever they have. The fall out will draw in WB, Assam and Tripura immediately. India cannot muster enough money and manpower to fight a protracted war here. And Chnia will not just sit quiet and watch. Pakistan will definitely act because she will know her situation becomes very vulnerable as a result. And the Muslim nations will help us with money and arms to keep on fighting. India knows all these very well. If she moves in with a constitutional coverage provided by her planted govt / parliament, India herself will break up like loose bricks.

Ottoman Empire was the largest and the longest ruling empire in history....

Longest? Possibly if you mean single dynasty (though they do have contention from the Habsburgs and the Yamatos), but definitely not largest. That would be the British, or if you mean land specific then that would be the Mongols.

By a single dynasty yes. The current British royal family is for about 400+ years.
Oh wow my history is pretty rusty... I read somewhere it spanned from Spain to china...
