    1. My ‘oogle maps street view exploration of some places there combined with a few videos about life in that country, which were inspired by seeing the street food situations there has given me the impression that there could be a number of better ways to run things. …But standard US foreign policy style “freedom” isn’t something I’d wish on anyone. Hope people’s lives get better.

      The protests are being manipulated. Yes they got rid of a tyrant, but Bangladesh, like the rest of the subcontinent needs major social reforms.

      The goal is not jobs, it’s to raise the standard. You cannot burn your buses. Why? Because you need them tomorrow. You have to bring revolution while enforcing a social order that upholds and demonstrates a successive power which is capable of maintaining justice and a fair distribution of rights and responsibilities.

      Why would America get rid of India’s friend and possibly open the door to China

    4. What is your source of information about usa establishing a military base in Bangladesh?

      I can’t imagine this has helped…

      “The UK has exported £1.5bn of military and “dual use”  equipment (goods that can be used for military purposes) to 39 of the 40 most vulnerable states on ND-GAIN’s list since 2008, Declassified has found. 

      Among the most vulnerable countries are Pakistan and Bangladesh, to which the UK has approved military export licences worth over £750m since 2008.”

    6. First im seeing of it.

      US media does a good job suppressing other world media outlets imo.

      Cant have people wanting to overthrow the government over here being encouraged.

      it is most likely China because the sitting PM was close to India and China did not like that same thing happened in Nepal as well where China removed pro-India PM. same thing happened in Srilanka and same thing happened in Mauritius

      Bangladesh is part of China’s belt and road initiative, as are many places in the area and across Africa.

      China has built multiple power stations, bridges, ports and airports in Bangladesh under the belt and road initiative. Chinese companies have all the contracts.

      Could be related, I don’t know. If you have not kept up with it though, look into the belt and road

      The news doesn’t want to promote an “uprising”… giving viewers ideas… they are mind controlling us already.
