True.It depends on the perception in Bangladesh, if the Bengalis get really upset and ask for intervention then the GOB will be in a tough spot especially if the other Muslim countries are willing to do the fighting and just ask for ground room.
But there are only 2 main political factions in Bangladesh. India has influence with both of them -1 high and 1 low. The China has more influence with the party in which India has low influence. With both India and China putting bets in one direction, it would be rather hard to push the government in any other way.
The way i see it is people of BD will simply say No to any but a UN mandated mission.
I did not use the right words. Myanmar does not buy any arms from either India or China. We donate them arms. So it would yield no commercial benefit to either plus I dont believe India or China would like a destabilized neighbour.Actually I see it the other way around, as long as your interests are not messed with you and the Chinese will not care and will probably profit from the arms the Burmese would buy to replace those lost in any potential war.
Yup. That is the best course of action for Myanmar.I think a more viable solution would be to pressure Burmese to recognize them as citizens.
But how to achieve that is the question.
