How is the situation in Bangladesh now ?

Well , Im not a Trump fan but Trump is a show man for many years, he can easily turn things around. You can hope Sanders to win but its better to watch what Trump does next. His popularity is rising -because he is data driven from last election. His target group is absolutely precise. Cambridge Analytica did an excellent job for the US republican, UK conservatives and Brexit election. The data was recent and the psycoprofile they did is still valid.

A very unfortunate reality, the constant failure of leadership and the betrayal is the root cause. Even a stronger economic stability and strong defense capabilities can ensure at least this wont happen in our border. In this current reality, it is obvious a nation cannot rely on others to resolve matters. We cannot expect UN or India or China to resolve matter for our interest. We have to deal with this with our own capacity. We failed to get enough attention from the world media but later overall world media attention gave a positive reputation for us while a disaster for the Myanmar. It has given the opportunity to explore other areas and gave enough momentum that our top brass decided to shift their doctrine which is reflecting from many of our procurement program.

The shameless lady hitler Suchi is disgustingly anti Muslim , liar and supporting whole heartedly the barbaric act of genocide committed by the regime against her own Muslim Rohingyas. Some says during her student life she was ditched by her then Pakistani Muslim boy friend !! Since then she is suffering islamophobia. What a b***h , alas on my child hood she was an inspiration of democracy but turnout to be a monster ! So far no action by the UN

Any related news will be dedicated on this thread

Since the love affair is so high I wonder why India gave kilo class sub to Myanmar and direct or indirectly supports Myanmar over Bangladesh !! So far no strong words for Rohingya genocide either. Supporting Bangladesh wholeheartedly can be a wise move. No buts or ifs.

The fictional "Umbrella Corporation" from the game "Resident Evil" shares a logo with a biotech lab in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China, where a new coronavirus is believed to have originated! Social media posts claimed that the logo of a biotech lab in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the center of the January 2020 outbreak, was eerily similar to the logo of the Umbrella Corporation. Furthermore, these posts noted how “corona” was an anagram for “racoon,” the city at the center of “Resident Evil.” Source : https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/resident-evil-umbrella-coronavirus/

May Allah grant your father jannah. It is a disgrace the way these embassy people treat others. Arrogance and corruption deeply rooted in our culture and within our society but a positive change is happening.

Brilliant news , it is a moral duty for us to shelter them and allow them to have their basic rights as a refugee. At least we are a nation with moral and principles. Trump forcing separation of parents and kids while Sheikh Hasina allowing kids to have education. Must be praised .

A nurse in Wuhan who insists in a shocking online video that close to 90,000 people in China have the disease, far more than the 1,975 reported by officials. “I am in the area where the coronavirus started,” her video begins. Wuhan is the epicenter of the outbreak. “I’m here to tell the truth,” the anonymous nurse says in the video, which shows her wearing a full-head face mask. “At this moment, Hubei province, including the Wuhan area, even China, 90,000 people have been infected by a coronavirus.” source: https://nypost.com/2020/01/26/coronavirus-whistleblower-nurse-says-china-has-90000-sick/

I dont think there will be any major shift in policy and I would expect another Trump tenure in coming years so dont bother engaging your brain thinking Sanders has chance. The boost of defense budget by Trump is a good news for Bangladesh , not so a good news that 900 bases will be closed due to a new POTUS in power. Also delighted to see we have a stronger ties now and it is preferable to have decommissioned ships from US then some Chinese ! might have Coronavirus on them who knows!

You are not wrong and I was surprised to see some of the videos few years back on how Bangladeshi ambassador in Qatar giving speeches insulting NRBs or Embassy staff assaulting our hard working brothers or NRB kids being beaten up by local political thugs in Sylhet ! Can you blame them for calling that? Understandably government highest policy makers are doing their best but its the mid management is not doing enough. The incompetence and the arrogance of the officials are very unprofessional. I was once stopped at the airport by few undercover police tried something out of me but when they realized they will be in trouble they quickly cleared my way out. NRBs are not only can contribute by sending remittance but also offer expertise, knowledge and skills can have positive impact for the growth. By the way where you are residing?

Thanks for your clarification , seems its now verified

You are kind of right about the GDP allocation ratio, Bangladesh Armed forces received 3.87 Billion dollar allocation what is 8.3% of its Total Budget. The size of Bangladesh GDP is now US$ 302.4 billion. The size of the proposed budget for FY2019-20 is USD 62.28 Billion Dollar. A tiny rise in the Yearly allocation. The 2019 -2020 defense budget also amounts to 8.3% of total annual government expenditure and about 1.5% of GDP.

I wonder is this a new venture by a separate entity from BD Military ? The vast amount of old data contents also gone missing !! I was expecting at least the old archives will be available !What a loss
