Somewhere I read an offhand comment that long range artilleries posted on the CHT could pummel Chittagong port, like how The polish forces pummelled the Turks from the Kahlenberg mountain during the 1683 Siege of Vienna....So CHT going to East Pakistan was more of a military decision..what language do the Buddhist of CHT speak? are there any Bengali Buddhists in Bangladesh?
No offense - but boy do you have a lot of reading to do - better get busy.
1. What worked in 1683 will not work today.
2. We will not sit and suck on our thumbs while CTG port gets hit by missiles or artillery shells. There are air and artillery defensive installations around CTG port just like any other of our critical national assets.
3. There are plenty of Bengali-speaking Buddhists, in fact most educated Pahari folks in Bangladesh speak Bengali.
4. Unlike India, we don't call our Pahari brothers/sisters derogatory names like 'Chinkis', so no Chanakya Bharti tricks will work. They have equal rights in Bangladesh and we actively work to preserve this status quo. Tribal/Pahari festivals like 'Baisabi' are actively celebrated by all Bangladeshi groups.
5. Several Bangladeshi models have SouthEast Asian backgrounds/facial features, including Linda Liu shown below.
What war lasting decades?
BD actually has a professional military unlike the rag-tag Myanmar one. BD army thinks so little of Myanmar one that it used just 2500 soldiers to attack 2 Myanmar divisions in 2000 that resulted in a complete capitulation from the enemy.
You think that the cost of all those Rohingya that BD has to shelter will not cost many billions of US dollars anyway?
A short-sharp war to capture Arakan would be cheaper. Have you even thought about how much benefit BD would get from having a friendly Arakan next door, who could supply BD with massive quatities of food and cheap hydroelectric power.
Bhai that change of an independent Arakan buffer has to happen politically if it does, making it happen militarily may have a high price for both countries. We have to also gauge if now is the right time and we should be the direct actor in any aggression. Let the Rakhine work through with a Guerrilla War of attrition, which we can support covertly.
I don't think Myanmar Junta will be too unhappy with a buffer state. They know that this business of ethnic cleansing they are supporting has no positive outcome. They should tamp down Burmese nationalist elements, smooth the ruffled feathers of ARSA/insurgents and seek a political solution to stabilize Arakan, for their best interest. The geographic position of Arakan is best as an independent trade zone between both countries which provides both stability and prosperity.
As a big mouth self-appraiser, I wouldn't expect anything different. People that actually have discussed deep technical matters with me on this forum know where and who I work for and the likely commensurate earning range from that. So tell me why I should exactly care about what some pretty riffraff BD with not one but two US flags thinks and claims on the matter? What, you literally want me to post pictures of my house, cars, workplace and such? Will it end there? I think not, so I don't care.
This empty vessel is a supposed technical 'expert' (a petty employee someplace) and he thinks he's some big shot. Riffraff huh?
Listen - bud, even small-time businessmen in Bangladesh make more than you ever will. They eat more, spit farther, fornicate longer, and even have more mistresses tucked away than your a$$ can ever fathom.
Aa Gaya Big Spender Naukri-wala.
And we're not even talking about Naukri of US standard, we're talking about down-in-the-dumps Canada, where good technical jobs (if you can find them even) don't even garner 60% of the salary (in an equivalent position) one can make in the US.
