Forget about my analytical abilities, be happy that you don't have to worry about that. There is someone utterly clueless about how military strength works & it's not me. Whether or not there is a chance that BD will become a wealthier nation (I'm assuming you mean per capita), it doesn't change much on military balance. Singapore is wealthier than China, does not mean it can be a military match. Your own figures show it if you have the capacity to comprehend it.
Yet again you show your mathematical inabilities.
China has population 1,300 million and Singapore has 4 million. Singapore has 1.3% of China's population
India has population 1200 million and BD has 150 million. BD has 13% of India's population
BD is large enough in comparison to India that it can obtain a "credible" deterrent if it had the money and the will.
BD would probably need a GDP/capita between 1.5-2x that of India and also spend around the same amount
on defence as a percentage of GDP and it should be able to get a very credible deterrent against India.
The figures you quote suggest that GoB had an increase in its budgetary allocation (from 2003 to 2013) of16.3 billion dollars.. During the same period, you say that India has a budgetary difference of 272 billion dollars. Military strength will be decided by the sheer volume of weaponry available & there is no way with that kind of a difference in funds, that BD will ever pose a serious threat.
You do not understand fractions at all do you?
Otherwise China would never ever surpass the US in GDP. It is only a few years away now in GDP PPP btw.
US was making the same argument 10 years ago by saying that the total increase in US GDP every year was
more than the Chinese total increase in GDP. Now China adds over 700 billion dollars a year to it's GDP and the
US adds 300 billion dollars.
As for your thesis on multi-ethnic states being inherently less capable, keep telling yourself that. Whatever floats your boat. Move on.
China has way surpassed India from being equivalent 30 years ago.
No need to carry on talking to someone who displays ineptitude in mathematics and cannot at least
admit that multi-ethnic India will be handicapped by it's huge number of ethnicities.
