What do you think of Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman's statement that "the Bangladesh Army will always stand by the people"?
Last Updated: 02.07.2025 03:40
There is reason to why I believe that.
^^
And what does an army that needs to rule a country do, especially in case of 'pious' countries and 'pious' armies of the Indian Sub-Continent such as Pakistan and Bangladesh?

And now the release of yet another extremist that actually triggered this thread!
I am sure the figures will spring up quite a few surprises

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!
The primary example is Bhikharistan to our West.
First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.

But what happened after the diplomatic spat in all probability, was that the Chinese gave the order to their faithful minions of Bangladesh Army to pull the rug!
Coming back to the China angle ..
On that note, do look up a map of Bangladesh and look for Feni.

Well, on its own .. ZILCH!

It gives them an alibi of being of 'use' to their Nation during peace, since war is a far-fetched dream!
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.
Fact remains that when reality dawns, all that they will have to show for it is wet underwears and nothing else!

I wouldn't be surprised if it has actually been jointly wargamed between China and Bangladesh.
Nice, no?
And now General Waker-uz-Zaman too will do the same, notwithstanding the bumbling Yunus in the forefront!

:Fin:
I have a bad reputation and need help. What should I do?
More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.
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.
The yahoos let lose against the previous govt are now demanding INSTANT results from the new govt headed by the Nobel Laureate!
Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?
And Thank God for that!
The ONLY major road junction to reach Chittagong area is via Feni, which is hardly SIX Km from Indian Border!
But they can always dream, no?

What triggered this coup in the first place, when things were relatively good for the Bangladesh Army?
1975 (First Coup)
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, folks, is what a 1.60 Lac army is good for in a country like Bangladesh: To rule over the hoi-polloi.
Just look at the inventory of the Bangladesh Army and you will be surprised at the sheer amount of Chinese hardware!
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.
Samsung may soon open One UI 8 beta program for Galaxy S22 - SamMobile
Hence the move by Zaman to oust Sheikh Hasina.
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!
Previous Bangladesh Army Coup Chiefs did the same.
This Google experimental app lets you run powerful AI models without Wi-Fi - Android Police
Let us see the motto of the Bangladesh Army to see what they want to use those 1,60,000 troops for.
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!)!
And chaos is already underway all over again!
Surprisingly (not really!), it is the CHIEF who decides to come out in full, imposing military uniform and declares that Aal Eez Well!!
In fact, let me do that for you!
What comes next?
Then tell me if you see a Chicken's Neck in Bangladesh too!
So what exactly, does the 160,000 strong Bangladesh Army seek to do in case of a war?
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.
Like I said earlier in this thread, Md Yunus is merely being set-up to take the blame when things go irretrievably South.
Another thing that will bolster my claim is a quick study of high and middle level military exchanges of Bangladesh with China and Pakistan!
Period.
One idiot actually got deported to the swimming pool that their country currently is, notwithstanding their claims of their FB getting 'hacked'!
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?
1982 (Counter-Coup)
British Army = Approx 79,000 Active Duty personnel
But that was not all!
Still unstructured. Let's see how it goes ..
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!
Same for their Air Force and Navy!

Btw, do notice in the above tweet that the handle quoted there still calls it the Md Yunus Interim Govt.
Mark this!
But coming back.
And how do they get to be of use to their Nation in peace, u ask?
Or what exactly can it do?
How's that for 'serving' your country in peace, huh?
If you believe anything else, then I have a white coloured building in Agra to sell to you!

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!
German Army = 63,000 personnel
I shall be eagerly waiting and watching.
Meanwhile, the yahoos are now begging for Indian Visas!
Sharing a chain of thoughts.
And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops!
What this means is the Bangladesh has an army that is more than the combined strength of the British and German armies!
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
A very impressive motto, I must say.
Unless, they plan to play faithful minions to the Chinese in case of a war across the Himalayas!
http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…
Zia and Musharraf did that in Pakistan.
Well .. the first coup that they did was in 1975 wherein they even murdered the Father of the Nation, Mujib!
Kudos to whoever came up with it!
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.
By letting lose the Ansar Bahini Paramilitary on their very students, Zaman has already shown his intent.
But there is one observation I have ..
In other times, they are leeches on the limited resources of the country.
http://x.com/SaffronSunanda…
And it gives them an alibi!
Then there is Myanmar and heck, Bangladesh itself till the time it remained under the boots of the previous dictators till 1990!
That said, they are free to dream all the wet dreams they want to.
The Jamaat is already making itself felt in Bangladesh.
What truly transpired in that visit is anyone's guess.
http://x.com/NepCorres/stat…
With this, I conclude this short thread.
The thing is, I don't think Bangladesh Army has ever been in a war!
Make of that whatever you will!
Well, one hint can be the acrimonious visit of Sheikh Hasina to China not very long ago
The motto says: In War, In Peace, We are everywhere for our Nation.
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!
Well, they use rabid, extremist Islamists to give them a fig-leaf of democratic credentials!
Hope this chain of thoughts made some sense.
The 84 year-old Nobel Laureate probably would have been snoozing at that time when a statement needed to be made, right?
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.
They continued 'serving' their country in peace with coups and even counter-coups in:
1975 (Second, Counter-Coup)
