Dhaka agrees to Washington's military aid agreement

[ghost250]

A State Department official said, "The administration led by President Joe Biden has proposed agreements with various countries, including Bangladesh, to ensure future grants." This is not an agreement for country-specific or Bangladesh alone.

Bangladesh agrees to US military aid agreement Bangladesh has decided to respond to the country's request for assistance.

Dhaka is preparing to sign an agreement with Washington. Foreign Ministry officials will hold a preparatory meeting on Tuesday afternoon
According to ministry sources, Bangladesh is looking for ways to continue US military aid. Preparations are underway to sign a new agreement proposed by Washington. A final review meeting will be held on Tuesday afternoon on the terms of the agreement. The inter-ministerial meeting was convened by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Appropriate representatives of the concerned ministries, departments and agencies have been invited for the meeting, which will be chaired by Foreign Secretary Masood bin Momen.

The terms of the agreement do not conflict with the basic position of Bangladesh. The Biden administration has amended US law on military grants abroad. The added clause states that if a country's security agencies or forces are involved in crimes such as torture, extrajudicial killings, kidnappings and rapes, the US government will not be able to provide assistance to those agencies. In that case, any organization or force that is under US sanctions will not receive US funding. "

There are things going on way above your head.

We are all in the dark right now.

Crazy stuff.

he added clause states that if a country's security agencies or forces are involved in crimes such as torture, extrajudicial killings, kidnappings and rapes, the US government will not be able to provide assistance to those agencies. In that case, any organization or force that is under US sanctions will not receive US funding. "

In any case, RAB (not sure of the Police) will not receive any funding for inducting weapons from America because this organization has already been sanctioned.

The GoB accepting the condition of the clause also ensures that RAB and Police departments will no more be allowed to do the bullying, enforced kidnapping, or the killing of opposition politicians.

As a result of this, Hasina autocracy will be reinstituted with democracy.

Guess now we know why China gifted the Ming to Burmese. OR the other way around, this was a reaction to China gifting sub to Burmese.

So much see sawing going on and so rapidly too.

That last bit about sanctioned countries not receiving aid, is just to keep BD in check should BD move closer to China.

And those who are claiming Bangladesh is now in same league as N Korea because of sanctions, guess they now realize democracy was never USs concern. It's either we are with them or against them.

It's for punditji who is too fast to judge things after watching 10 min video of the same man!

From 4.30 second ( for impatient people) we don't have time to fuk you USA!


I wish Pinaky is right. If we must choose any front , it must be China!

Now some red chilies paste on the rear side of Punditji ( পন্ডিতজির পশ্চাৎদেশে শুকনা মরিচ বাঁটা)!

Now the words are coming from Haisna , not from ordinary minister!

"USA speaks of justice , democracy and human rights , yet they are sheltering the killers of Bangabandhu sheikh Mujibur Rahman!"

It's official statement of Bangladesh now!

So some people now can wake up from their wet dream of indian style democracy for Bangladesh.

Ps - @Tom-tom , look , Hasina has guts! So if some people want bark ,let them bark!

We aren't in dark. Watch the two video specially the statement of Hasina herself. Everything will be clear brother!

Ex military chief denied it ( cancelation of us visa ) as rumor. However the sanction is actually against IGP and some RAB officials.

Neither IGP nor RAB denied the sanction news , unlike ex military chief General Aziz Ahmed. Make sense which is true or rumor?

Looks like Bangladesh is getting dragged into this geopolitical mess... should have stayed out, you guys were doing great.

 

[mb444]

US sactions many things does not mean other things can not carry on.

US just sanctioned israeli firm responsible for pegasus malware... does it mean somehow the zionist entity has been sanctioned?

All that has happened is RAB has been sanctioned and wont benefit from US aid. US request to audit how its funds has been used is just the continuation of this process. They want to ensure its fund do not go to RAB.

Beyond this status quo remains, US still wants to sell us weapons, be part of quad, buy textile from us where they gets to put on an import tax of 15%, etc. Democracy i would agree is not US primary aim, but it guarantees the most stable form of government that enables economy and nations to grow. BD does not have oil and can not foreseeably have any leverage against US. A progressive, democratic BD is in US interest. The neo-con philliosophy is about money and control... it has nothing to do with religions

 

[Iron Shrappenel]

Brother to brother, I would sincerely wish Bangladesh stay out of this mess... They can't see Muslims prospering... Bangladesh should quietly keep on building... America has nothing special that Europe can't offer.. it's not aid it's a trap

So you sealed the deal by accepting the carrot part of the time tested 'carrot and stick policy'. Welcome to the club and be ready for the stick part level 2.

Bhai what choice did we have anyhow? They have our balls in a vice-grip.

The real question is why the interest in Bangladesh all of a sudden?

After all, we are a little country at the end of a delta with little geopolitical significance.
