Sinking State of Bangladesh: Idiotic Musings

[Blademaster]

that's no fun. if our chaps really want to send a message, hack the feed and replace the drone's video feed with some satyajit ray movie.

Make the drone land in Indian territory and we can confiscate it and study the internals for possible drug smuggling and send it back in pieces that they have no hope in putting back together.

Yes, they do it via proxies. Backing an already existing syrian rebel faction that THEY didnt create ( at least not on the surface).
Turkey will simply say 'i am not occupying Syria - the FREE SYRIAN ARMY OF SYRIANS IS OCCUPYING SYRIA WE ARE HELPING THEM'. and that works. What do we say ? We dont have a FSA to back like Turkey and do what we want via that proxy. We only get the Russia option - the 'we march in and save our people from this evil little twerp'. Which invites sanctions.
As we have seen. if action X results in sanctions against a MUCH stronger and independent nation (in terms of resource dependancy) then, the same action X will result in sanctions against a much weaker nation with far greater dependency on resource import. That is basic logic 101.

you are trying to compare this Bangladesh-India situation to Turkey/Israel - Syria. That is FALSE comparison. Our comparison is Russia- Ukraine. Ukraine went full nazi and banned Russian language while getting closer to its arch enemy, while being a much much more puny, teeny tiny faltu nation than Russia.
THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME SITUATION HERE !!!
We are upset coz Kanglus are going full islamist (our version of nazi), while getting much closer to our arch enemy (Pakistan) while banning hinduism ( our version of banning Russian language).

To wish for us to be Turkey/Iran/Israel in a Syria like situation, you need the FIRST CRITICAL INGREDIENT of Syria - for it to explode from within, military breaks up into rebel factions ( even though govt retains dominance in numbers of units), takes over part of the country that govt doesnt control and THEN the neighbours jump in.
Syria is no special for this - Spanish Civil War did the same in Europe - country exploded from within, factions happened, neighbours jumped in.

Trust me, this govt would love nothing better than to pull a Turkey and make a FSA zone near murgi ki gardan. But for that to happen, BD has to go from Ukraine to Syria. Else we will not go from Russia to Turkey. Its just that simple.
In fact, i would argue that all the Unkil micromanaging in Kangludesh *IS* to turn kangludesh into a Ukraine and bait us like they did Russia and not fall apart into a Syria that we can jump in along with Myanmar and do what we want.

Long story short.

West/USA doesn't need reason to sanction you. False flag operations can do the job. So your assumption of playing Syria in Bangladesh will save from Sanctions is wrong.

India got sanctioned in 1971 despite of the fact America openly admitted Bengali genocide by Pakistani army.

Fact is, countries behave nicely in front of powerful neighbour. Example is South China sea.

India is not even a regional military power. India couldn't block even Maldives.

Basically, India's foreign ministry is India's real defence ministry.
