What do you think of Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman's statement that "the Bangladesh Army will always stand by the people"?

That would partly explain the yahoos gloating about severing Seven Sisters of NE India from rest of India!
But we all know how it ends up for countries where the militaries take charge of government as well!

As the dust settles (figuratively) in the immediate aftermath of this 'revolution' and the flood waters drain out, will come the business of governing this chaotic country and more than that, managing the ambitions of those within the army itself.
The 84 year-old Nobel Laureate probably would have been snoozing at that time when a statement needed to be made, right?
To put things in context and why I found it amusing, I will just give a comparison with the British and the German Armies, sourced from Wikipedia itself.

Well, they use rabid, extremist Islamists to give them a fig-leaf of democratic credentials!

The thing is, I don't think Bangladesh Army has ever been in a war!

Because I doubt what they would do in case of a war with India, or for that matter, even with Myanmar, given their tenuous link with Chittagong Hill Tracts via Feni!
What we have seen are merely the opening shots of a long period of gloom and doom in Bangladesh, thanks to its 'well-meaning', 1.6 Lac strong army.
And yet again, just a few weeks ago came yet another statement by the Bangladesh Army Chief that instead of a coup, the democratically elected Prime Minister had 'chosen' to step down and that a new govt would soon take over!

And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops!

Mark this!
What we are seeing in Bangladesh today is the return of the erstwhile West Pakistani Occupation Army, but this time in the form of Bangladeshi natives doing the dirty job of repressing and depriving their own people.
What's the difference between “ce”, “ça”, and “cela”, and when do I use each (French)?
First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.
How's that for 'serving' your country in peace, huh?
There is reason to why I believe that.

More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.

But then, what are the chances of a Himalayan War and in it, Bangladesh Army faithfully carrying out their Cheeni Master's orders of marching into the Siliguri Corridor, that too with any reasonable chances of success?
Zia and Musharraf did that in Pakistan.
Coming back to the China angle ..
Like I said earlier in this thread, Md Yunus is merely being set-up to take the blame when things go irretrievably South.
And chaos is already underway all over again!
1982 (Counter-Coup)
Surprisingly (not really!), it is the CHIEF who decides to come out in full, imposing military uniform and declares that Aal Eez Well!!
Same for their Air Force and Navy!
By letting lose the Ansar Bahini Paramilitary on their very students, Zaman has already shown his intent.
What truly transpired in that visit is anyone's guess.
Make no mistake, the Bangladesh Army has always had its sights set on the ultimate goal - To rule over Bangladesh, and 'Make Bangladesh Great Again' (to paraphrase Shri Donald Trump's slogan!)!
Nice, no?
What triggered this coup in the first place, when things were relatively good for the Bangladesh Army?
Instead, good folks of the media may start drafting reports about how Bangladesh economy went down the drain!
Well, on its own .. ZILCH!
Let us see the motto of the Bangladesh Army to see what they want to use those 1,60,000 troops for.
It gives them an alibi of being of 'use' to their Nation during peace, since war is a far-fetched dream!
Fact remains that when reality dawns, all that they will have to show for it is wet underwears and nothing else!
And Thank God for that!
Hope this chain of thoughts made some sense.
I wouldn't be surprised if it has actually been jointly wargamed between China and Bangladesh.
The Jamaat is already making itself felt in Bangladesh.
But there is one observation I have ..
A very impressive motto, I must say.
Well, one hint can be the acrimonious visit of Sheikh Hasina to China not very long ago
Then tell me if you see a Chicken's Neck in Bangladesh too!
And now General Waker-uz-Zaman too will do the same, notwithstanding the bumbling Yunus in the forefront!
Well, all those rosy stories about Bangladesh becoming an economic 'miracle' can be filed away in a safe locker for the next couple of decades atleast.
Hence the move by Zaman to oust Sheikh Hasina.
They continued 'serving' their country in peace with coups and even counter-coups in:
http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…
Then there is Myanmar and heck, Bangladesh itself till the time it remained under the boots of the previous dictators till 1990!
Another thing that will bolster my claim is a quick study of high and middle level military exchanges of Bangladesh with China and Pakistan!
If you believe anything else, then I have a white coloured building in Agra to sell to you!
I say it with some conviction that the utopian thought of Bangladeshi tanks and infantry rolling up Siliguri is not just a flight of fancy.
:Fin:
And it gives them an alibi!
Now THAT would be a thing to watch .. how long Zaman manages to hang on to the power from behind the curtains and how fast Bangladesh goes to dogs, literally, because figuratively, it already has!
I do not put it past the Bangladesh Army to have had alternate and surreptitious channels of communication with their Chinese masters whom they dream of faithfully serving some day, even if at the cost of wet undergarments!
Well .. the first coup that they did was in 1975 wherein they even murdered the Father of the Nation, Mujib!
Just look at the inventory of the Bangladesh Army and you will be surprised at the sheer amount of Chinese hardware!
The yahoos let lose against the previous govt are now demanding INSTANT results from the new govt headed by the Nobel Laureate!
German Army = 63,000 personnel
Kudos to whoever came up with it!
So what exactly, does the 160,000 strong Bangladesh Army seek to do in case of a war?
http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…
While size of an army by itself is not a metric to pass judgments, but what I found really interesting was what Bangladesh Army would do with such large numbers
1975 (Second, Counter-Coup)
I am sure the figures will spring up quite a few surprises
Btw, do notice in the above tweet that the handle quoted there still calls it the Md Yunus Interim Govt.
Previous Bangladesh Army Coup Chiefs did the same.
^^
What this means is the Bangladesh has an army that is more than the combined strength of the British and German armies!
But they can always dream, no?
With this, I conclude this short thread.
This fellow, Zaman is a bit 'smarter' than his predecessors in the Coup Business of Bangladesh Army, you see .. instead of directly becoming the dictator, he chose to plant a near senile 84-year old Nobel Laureate as the fall guy who will take the blame when chaos erupts again!
This tweet landed on my TL some time back.
THIS, folks, is what a 1.60 Lac army is good for in a country like Bangladesh: To rule over the hoi-polloi.
