This is what happens when your development is not at an optimum level as a country. We have a population more than double than that of Burma, a much higher GDP growth rate, have an economy which is almost 5 times the size of Burma, but still can't do a thing against Burmese aggression. Their military might has increased so much whereas ours remained stagnant. They have more powerful foreign friends now than ours for God's sake. This is like BD football run by BFF. This is so shameful for us on so many levels I can't even begin to describe.

When Burma was buying so many weapons and what not, what were our defense strategists (do we even have one?) doing? Did they think Burma was buying those military equipment to intimidate China or India and not BD? Was the government so short sighted that that they thought keeping the army weakened intentionally would not only keep their thieving *** on the throne but keep the sovereignty of the country intact at the same time?

Ukraine was trying to eradicate the Russians in their country driven by ultra nationalism and we all saw what the Russians did. The best solution to this Rohingya problem would have been to help the Rohingyas with arms and training. But our military has become so pathetic that Burma won't even have to break a sweat to annex our Chittagong hill tracts. Our government knows that and they have chosen to accept all the Rohingyas that Burma pushes into our borders like a good boy and provide lip service to the populace, and not even dare to shoot a single bullet to those Burmese helicopters. This crisis won't stop until all the Rohingyas are inside our border.

The only silver lining is that this has been a reality check for us. The BD diplomatic motto that Hasina says all the time that 'Friendship with everybody, hostility towards none' has been proven absolutely wrong. The BD defense and diplomatic capabilities have been badly exposed. Also, it has shown us who our true friends are.
