Myanmar as an emerging military power

[tarpitz]

isolated from what ?

Myanmar -China gas pipe line becomes fully operational now. The 900 km long gas pipe line will bring 12 millions tonnes of crude oil and 12billions cubic metre of gas a year into China. This pipe line provided the great strategic importance to Myanmar in Sino-Myanmar relations.

Proposed Myanmar-Bangladesh-India gas pipe line project was initiated in early 2005 but the project was abandoned in the late 2005. Although initial agreement was signed in early 2005, Bangladesh demanded additional conditions that “gas from Myanmar can be available to India and Bangladesh only if the political governments of India and Bangladesh can resolve any other bilateral issues.” Some Indian officials blamed the Islamist ideology of the Bangladesh government and the prevalence of strong anti-India perceptions for blocking any policies beneficial to India. In this way Bangladesh lost its position of strategic importance to India. Since then India never show its trust to Bangladesh.

So what happened to the pipe line? Very simple answer. Construct a pipe line that will bypass Bangladesh. This pipeline will start from Sittwe, run along the Kaladan river, and enter India from Mizoram. North eastern states of India will also have access to a deep sea port at Kyauk Phyu through Kaladan corridor. This project will provide the great strategic importance to Myanmar in Indo-Myanmar relations.

Bangladesh shows no strategic importance in the region.

War is not just about weapons. Self sufficiency also play a vital role in winning a war. Myanmar armed forces building, upgrading and maintaining most of their war fighting materials on their own.

I don't think anyone is in the position to take that moral high ground, besides this is about Military power.

Most condemnable !

But I'm not going to hold an entire country responsible for the actions of a few whether that few is in the Government or on the Streets !
