Well, maybe that is because you are the dumbest person out there(?)
Albeit a non-military aggression.
Yes, it is really true that Burmese military helicopters have trespassed our territory. This was happening during the height of all the stuff going on there. If we did shoot them down, they would have used that opportunity to justify whatever it is they are doing there.
The idea here is not to give them the opportunity to seize that initiative. It was better to summon the Burmese envoy in Dhaka and teach him some manners. That guy must be having some really bad days, I'm sure he's begging for a replacement
But next time, it may be different. The officer commanding those helicopter crews knew exactly what he was doing. But did not get the desired result.
You shouldn't fight someone who you don't know well. Especially when you don't know yourself!
This is a undoubtedly a matter of international politics. The Senate Armed Services Committee is canning plans to expand ties with the Burmese military (thank you Sen. McCain!). The UK suspended training their military officers.
China and Russia is pretty much the opposite. India...supportive yet somewhat subtle. Very subtle....Yet praising Bangladesh and claiming to be working on the Rohingya issue. Is this just to make the ruling party happy? Maybe. But I think a working relationship can happen with them in the long run.
And you say you read the dumbest thing? What world are you in? China and Russia just torpedoed us despite amicable relations on our part. And the fact that much of our weaponry are sourced from them.
Even a delegation went to China to talk to the Chinese (at their invitation). I suspect they were laughed at.
Small world...
Full of cowards while you are comfortably living in the UK. What does that make you then?
That is your personal opinion. But no, it is not a declaration of war. In fact, there is no definite proof that the Tatmaydaw committed genocide either even if there are indications of such.
If you are going to show how brave you are in front of all of us 'cowards' then go ahead.
My position is that only a weakling would be excited at the prospect of a war and jump right in. Once they realize the reality in the heat of battle, you know what happens? Regret. And then....death....a pathetic one...
And that will prove that General Hlaing had gotten his calculations correct.
I would love to play football with that general's head, you know. Really, I do. And maybe kick it all the way to China. But, there has to be a plan. When one is surrounded, one has to scheme and plot.
Look, don't waste your thoughts on playing hero. Instead, do what you can to help. We can all agree that the Burmese Junta needs to be annihilated one day. But, we need a plan to win. We cannot just jump into battle and expect things to go our way. International politics is a very hard and harsh reality.
Spot on.
Well, there are Hindus among the Rohingyas.
Bangladesh's economy isn't that big (comparatively). We don't spend much on the military because we don't go to war. We don't shoot up people just because they happen to be a bit different despite being human.
Our main problem is not our military. It was that our political parties were never united on national issues. This Rohingya issue is not a new one. What were we doing all these years? Instead, we succumbed to party politics. That is how the enemy took advantage.
Congress and BJP have very different points of view, and yet remain united on national issues. So much so, no one dares to act aggressively against India. We don't have that unity.
Hopefully, Bangladeshis will realize the reality of international politics.
