Battling for Bangladesh: A Case for US Alliance
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- The question of whether Bangladesh should align with the US or China is a contentious issue, but the current regime's reported plans to rig upcoming elections take the nation down a perilous path. Siding with the US would lead to a partnership based on principles beneficial to the ordinary people of the country, not just the select few. Bangladesh needs partners who prioritise democratic values and the rule of law over mega projects. The US has largely been on the side of the ordinary people of Bangladesh throughout history and is serious about the democratic process in the country. The diaspora community of Bangladesh has a crucial role to play in promoting democracy in their home country and preventing it from turning into a North Korean state.
Note: This video serves as an indispensable resource for shedding light on the intricate landscape of Bangladesh's politics. It accentuates the pressing need for Bangladeshi citizens to delve into the nuances of foreign policies, perhaps even surpassing the urgency of our daily sustenance. The intricate calculations and potential outcomes outlined here underscore the paramount importance of making informed decisions. Simultaneously, it offers a stark warning about the adverse consequences that can result from a failure to seize the right opportunities at the right junctures. A thought-provoking and enlightening exploration indeed!
#BangladeshPolitics #ForeignPolicyMatters
Assalamualaikum, I wholeheartedly agree with every point the speaker has made. However, I am deeply concerned about what alternatives we currently have in Bangladesh. Are the other major political parties prepared to govern the country? We, as Bangladeshis, are unfortunate in not having a robust opposition political party and/or apt, honest and able electoral candidates to rely on.
I would highly value gaining the speaker's perspective on this. Thank you.
I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for your remarkable analytical sense when it comes to politics and society. Your ability to dissect complex issues, understand underlying dynamics, and offer insightful perspectives has been truly inspiring.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and analytical prowess with us. Your thoughtful contributions make a significant difference ... Keep it up ❤
It's a great analysis, brother. Democracy is the only solution to save us from this monstrous government and the US is our only ally in this fight. Our legal system, financial system, and education are on the brink of extinction. If we don't act now, it will be too late for us. Other countries, except the US, don't seem to care about the common people of Bangladesh.
The same democracy the US gave to Afganistan, Iraq, Vietnam and libea?

@@user-be2qp6cg3zhave you been living under a rock for the last 20 years, US has destroyed multiple nations. China has actually developed infrastructure for us.
Sir we want more episodes related issues in english.
Incredible and very valuable discussion. Please keep speaking up your thoughts. We can't let a small group of power hungry individuals hijack the entire country and it's resources. I salute you sir for your valuable insight.
Stunning insights! This authoritarian, oppressive regime must go
Spot on analysis at 14:10, Faham Bhai. ""I know that we regard the US particularly in light of imperial/expansionist tendencies. This is because our intelligensia back in the 60's, 70's and 80's were heavily influenced and funded by Russian and Communist ideologies. I can't remember how many times I've heard that the US wants our island St. Martin to build a military base. Obviously, this is non-sense. But this nonsensical rumor was widespread and still is... " Absolutely. ICYDK, Hashu Apu's on about it again. 😂
I couldn’t agree more. Ever since the independence of Bangladesh, America has always been by our side. The only time they made a mistake was looking us through India’s lenses.
Absolutely right
It is absolutely right. USA is our friend. USA made a big mistake when they choiced Awami league, a facist party to rule Bangladesh. This party doesn't believe in democracy.
lol,when?where were they when the war happened?
@@nabilkhan6891 did they provide weapon to pk and said to pk authority to solve their crisis in political manner not in militaric way.The way Russia helped India, if usa assistance same way to pk then our independence would never come.
@@nabilkhan6891 That's why I said "Since independence".
Your analysis is based on a worldview that was alive in 2001. United States is not the same global superpower. Secondly United States is too far away. They have military intentions in the region. You will simply become a proxy of the that states. Just like Ukraine, Georgia, Kurdish separatists and other stooges. China on the other hand is a neighbour. Is the largest economy in PPP terms, they are our largest military supplier. It is a no brainier to side with China. Plus, to balance against Indian regional hegemony, who do you think will truly help you? United States that is focussed on China and allied with India? Or China who is already in border disputes with India? I also live in the west myself but I have not sold my soul, religion and heritage like you have.
Where does your military hardware come from?
You don’t see the significance of obtaining nuclear power?
All you keep parroting is democracy democracy democracy…
Pleased to hear you in English. This topic may help FOREIGN political analyst to rethink about India. Indopacific policy of USA is a life insurance for India to capture BD. USA will loose their ground in south Asia if they chose India as a strategic partner.
Yes, we need to side with USA.
While the USA and Bangladesh may seem worlds apart in terms of their positions on Education, Technology, and various aspects, I firmly believe that Bangladesh once held, and potentially still holds, the potential to become the "USA of Asia." However, achieving this status will require concerted efforts and a significant dedication to progress. The revival of democracy is an essential step towards realizing this goal. Actually, this is a must. We must get back freedom of speech and thought, conscience, and our blood-earned democracy.
I totally agree with you as long as Bangladesh can maintain the huge uneducated population, keep universities from educating students by the name of student politics. Bangladesh will keep supplying low wage labor like middle east supplies cheap oil. There are lots of similarities between Bangladesh and Middle East, both own and ruled by specific family, Middle East is able to export cheap oil, naturally obtained, no processing needed on the other hand Bangladesh can supply enormous amount cheap labor, naturally produced, no need to make them skilled, free. Bangladeshi human being need no maintenance. If a lot of them dies, no one cares, like middle eastern crude oil.
@@dewanh40 That's a feature, not a bug. BD's biggest resource and export is unskilled labor (garments industry and foreign workers in Middle East). Easier to keep the population in control and make money by exploiting their labor.
If you educate the population, you might face a brain drain issue, especially in IT and tech. Since BD doesn't have the industrial capabilities for high tech stuff like semiconductor production.
BD doesn't have high tech industries for high tech educated students that's true but BD does have high paid other positions that doesn't have enough skilled people educated in BD to fill so BD industries imports a huge number of Indians and other foreign nationals to fill draining billions of $ to keep it's various sectors alive. Politicians keep BD education system low standard by keeping student politics in the educational institutions while they educate their own children overseas. Low standard education ensures supply of unskilled cheap labor good for BD garment industries to be competitive worldwide. BD garment industries has only one advantage and that is it can offer cheap labor.
It would be so much fun to watch a debate or a discussion between Faham abdus salam+Fuaduzzaman+Andalib.

Did you just say Chinese strategic interest in Bangladesh is to access warm waters? 8:20
What are you smoking? 😅
The points are valid but not as valid as those ten or twenty years ago. The Western influence and its hegemony are weakening, and the primary reason is being unable to manage their finances well. Ray Dalio's book on changing world order outlines this situation well.
Hats off to you for such a bold statement to that part of the world where we the common people's words cant reach...you are the only spokesman we have who can fight for us single handedly....plsss keep sharing your views like this every week at least once. ..
To be America's enemy is dangerous, to be America's friend is fatal.

Good Job. Sometimes i wished for an English youtube channel which will discuss Bangladesh's political situation. And you've done it. I have a little sugestion for you, i'd like to say you should add some supportive and informative source like NEWS, Videos in your video. It will help us.

You lost me at liberal values. One of the main reasons west is falling
We should not align with no one.Neither USA nor China.
In my opinion, it is important to subtitle in Bengali for the Bangladeshi listener's.
সত্য নিয়ে এগিয়ে চলুন,সাধারন জনগন আপনার সাথে।
Bangladesh should balance between USA and China.
behind the reason is USA is consuming power on the other hand China is great source of raw materials.

I'm quite speechless. Not because you have a less valid point and bring up a logical issue, but because any sorority audience might loose temper and become disrespectful after hearing such opinion.
Let's see what happens in next 5 years. If you live in moon and ask eartheners why they don't make friends with Marshans rather than cultivating the Sun, you are talking to the wrong crowd. I don't want to be disrespectful but I was pretty confident that you are well knowledgeable man. Or I might have not received your point of view. I might be dumb. I better remain silent.
Please do so!
@@tuhinrahman646 thank you for your opinion though
It was amazing how well you portrayed Bangladesh's political scene.

Listen to you for the first time from Bangladesh! Wanted to say, Thank you! I was about to loose hope for this country and it's people! All the people around me supports BAL. My colleague, Supervisor, Director, every single person thinks as the govt want them to! I'm 31 and never vote for anyone, anything! But finally I found your channel who is like minded! Who really sees what we a should have! Russia, Chinese, India! They never think of the citizens rather power! This is our duty not another prime minister become another Shekh Hasina! That's a man's voice should be! Thank you again! Please keep giving hope!
Really we concern about our future... 😢😢😢😢 As a general people's of Bangladesh..
So should we choose our development partner based on how many citizens living in that country! Even if they don’t want to or they offer something that we can not fulfil..isn’t it a bogus theory!!?
TO BE A ENEMY OF america IS DANGEROUS BUT TO BE A FRIEND OF u.s. IS FATAL
এপিসোডগুলো বাংলায় করলে আমাদের মত বাংলিশ লোকদের বুঝতে সুবিধা হবে ।

Please discuss historical speech about caretaker government judgement of Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury
We, Bangladeshi, love China-Russia nexus. In the meantime, we want Democratic government. Bangladeshi people just hate American hegemony foreign policy.
A well articulated summarized factual scenario facing the ordinary masses of Bangladeshi. I hope that such articles are uploaded regularly. ❤
You must be joking. Which think tank pays your salary? Remember Libya Afghanistan Iraq Chile Vietnam Hiroshima Naga Saki? The inflated price is machination of the local. Compare the price of the Aircraft sales to Vietnam and Bangladesh. Would like to hear from you. K Ashfaq Ahmed
Excellent analysis. We, the people of Bangladesh, highly appreciate the US's help for establishing democracy, economic support, and supporting human rights. The people of Bangladesh like democracy and USA ,only USA can help and fulfill the dream of achieving democracy for the people of Bangladesh.
The people of Bangladesh will be forever grateful to USA for its help for re-establishing democracy in Bangladesh as current regime of Bangladesh led by Hasina the worst fascist and undemocratic ruthless leader in the planet.
BNP tried to eliminate BAL by doing 21 August 2004 grenade attack but failed. Now crying a river to foreigners complaining foul play!
Appreciate your work. Bangladesh needed people like you who can explain the internal problem to the whole world
Probably this is not related with your today’s subject which I want to know. At first I don’t admit myself as the Bengali but Bangladeshi . There is a vital cause . Before it , do you know the source of the ward ‘ Bangla / Bongo ‘ history ? Which I know , want to express elaborately later . Please ….. .
In short, Your power of eloquence is great but your mental proneness to BNP and Jamat belittle your wisdom and outlook.
You are a theoretical person, this is how government rule in every country. United States want to established an anti Awami League government in Bangladesh. Chaina, Rasia, India wanted to keep Awami League in Power of Bangladesh. This is all about geopolitical advantage
I respect you Sir but the sad truth is, Bangladesh cannot afford to loose its governing power to a party that is guided by revenge and doesn't understand Banhladeshi Politics.
The South Indian Continent as a whole along with most parts of Asia is moving away from US and Europe. If everything falls into place, the next decades could be the Era of the Great Asia. But only those who have the grit can make it.
And for Bangladesh, It can't be said that the normal people aren't suffering. But that is the price of not having the backbone to stand up against the market and demand their rights. Honestly, US or the other party in Bangladesh will never be able to provide the proper rights to Bangladeshis as neither truly care about that, it is all an illusion for gaining power. At this moment, not even the other party is able to say that they can handle the situation of Bangladesh without first serving their own needs. If government is changed, more bloodshed awaits.
And didn't US side with the pakistanis who killed and raped the mothers and daughters of Bangladesh in 1971? Democracy???
Absolutely right your points which are you mentioned in this video. The general people of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 seeking help from International Community especially from USA 🇺🇸 to restore democracy and not to become another North Korea 🇰🇵 in the world 🌎
Sorry Sir, you do represent Bangladesh Nationalist Party BNP. Please do not try to misguide non Bangladeshi audience. BNP is betting on US to help topple the current Awami League government. Your bias towards a better relationship with US has a hidden agenda.
Bhai Bnp , awami era kharap eta to sobai janie to international aspect e bhabsilm bolben era 2 tai russia , Britain , america r neo colonial project 😑...... pura ultay gelm😂
I get your point.
However your assumption that USA will rekindle democracy is a flawed one.
Because they helped the Iranian army to overturn a democratically elected PM who wanted to nationalise their oil. And where did that get them?
They sanctioned Venezuela and Bolivia for trying to do the same.
The only mistake is done by USA is, using India in our diplomatic relationship. After Ukraine war india started their trade relationship with Russia despite usa requested not to, which May be the eye opener for USA.
Couldn’t agree more brother. To me, we are in disasters situation which will put us in a enormous debt and black hole. How many upcoming generation carry this debt that only the mighty Allah knows.
Disagree completely. China never interferes with internal structure. People of Bangladesh must decide what to do next. If that's not done there will be no progress.
Bangladesh shouldn’t take any side, period.
Argue on any way, we shouldn’t take side.
The problem with Bangladesh is there are many people who are talking. But very very few people acting.
Well sorted remarks. You can explain it better then politicians .. to the point !!
if you guys were aware it was also the United States that funded the Pakistani army with weapons and resources during the genocide in Bangladesh. I don't intend to point out many others, but it is simply for my own security.
Faham Bhai, I believe that approximately 30 to 40 percent of people in our country do not have a good understanding of English. In my opinion, it would be easier for everyone to comprehend if the episodes were in Bengali.
thank you for your opinion,but Faham Abdus Salam spelling English much more softer than Bangla.
We want freedom like 71 sitting at home.The main stream of Bangladesh at this time are foreigners. Only foreigners can send off this dictator.

Hey,

Very well explained why we should side with USA. Congratulations for such timely talk.

You touched every Point which talk about BD people’s. 12:47
Yes, Oppressors and Oppressed people weren’t same. Two different type people. Oppressors are ruling the state.
Yes brother you are right. We need a free and fare election under a care taker government and consequent reforms in state administration.
Your way of speaking I don't like. Words coming to me like a noise.
Excellent narrative of Bangladesh and international alliance.
On what basis does he reject the saint-martine theory, there is no logical explanation for that
This presentation has seen a remarkable enhancement with well-articulated points. I wholeheartedly concur with the majority of the arguments and the accompanying explanations. I'd like to introduce a concept: the ideal mindset for an ordinary Bangladeshi should be one of self-reliance. It's crucial to emphasize that no one, and I emphasize, no one, holds admiration for individuals with a dependent personality. This principle extends to our nation on a grand scale. We may experience setbacks before experiencing progress, but it's essential not to be alarmed by every stumble on our path towards becoming an efficient and self-sufficient country. Additionally, we should adopt a mindset that allows us to learn from both nations, drawing upon the ingenuity of one and the industriousness of the other. This reminds me of the poem 'If' by Rudyard Kipling, which beautifully encapsulates these principles. Again, thank you for your discussion of a complex topic in an understandable manner. Would love to hear more from you.
Farhan Bhai please add cc of bangla to understand clearly..
To understand clearly add cc bangla as well as english.....
I hope you make video for Bangladeshi
No with usa we share our families and extended families and friends unlike China where it is only business
This was an imposterous claim to say the US is only putting pressure on the ruling party for the welfare of general people. They have always interfered where has been a influence of socialist powers, vis-à-vis CHINA. US/EU has declared themselves police of the world but they themselves have committed war crimes and non-democratic deeds (Middle East & Africa). I’m not condemning the fact that US has been striving for democracy in Bangladesh. But calling it selfless and only for the general people shows either hidden bias or ignorance of basic geo-politics.
True, but China isn't really socialist anymore. It practices state capitalism.
First view
Well said mate. You just took the word out of my mouth. As you said every Bangladesh born migrant and 2nd generation should deploy this in around them. Make their mates aware about the regime and Indian hegemony.
Your significant and truthful analysis will shade up lights to those spineless people who often ignorant about Bangladesh politics.

I am with you sir.i love your thoughts.
Yes, we are sick and tired.
It would be like Mir Jafar-i for East India co.
Neither democracy nor emotional factors are involved in maintaining foreign policy for the country's best interests.
Given the likelihood of a multipolar world in the future, it is imperative that we balance our foreign policy to secure the best future for our country.

America has awful track record of treating their allies. If Bangladesh become a pawn for America, then Bangladesh should become the next Ukraine. It'll be a well deserve punishment for the so called democracy lovers.
Well argued, especially the inappropriateness of Westminster-type democracy in Bangladesh. I definitely side with the US in particular and the West in general. But democracy, for now, is not what we need. If a change happens, which we are eagerly awaiting, the first thing would be to get tied with the West ensuring their support as was given to Taiwan and South Korea. Governance has to be improved by any means, even by a benevolent dictator. Meanwhile, parties must be democratised before we aim to democratize the country. Ten years of good governance will drastically change the country; it is no magic-it has been proven in many countries.
At last… Someone... Rises from the ashes….
