Is the USA planning to create a new country by taking territories from India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar? Recently, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh made a statement suggesting that a Western country is desperate for a military base. Although she didn’t name the USA directly, it was implied.
According to her, the USA is very eager to establish a military base in Bangladesh. Since they are not getting it, she hinted that the USA might be creating a conspiracy.
Why not create a new state, a new country from Bangladesh and Myanmar? Many articles have been published about this in Bangladeshi media and even global media. The idea is to make it a Christian state. According to the Bangladeshi PM, this new country would be very close to the USA. It would be formed by breaking off land from Bangladesh and Myanmar.
There have been many articles published on this topic. However, it hasn’t been proven yet. The Bangladesh PM has hinted that the US wants to do this.
What did Bangladesh PM say?
In recent times, the US has been very critical of Bangladesh. Recently, you might have heard that Sheikh Hasina won the elections in Bangladesh easily. The USA claims that the elections in Bangladesh were not fair and were conducted improperly.
Think about it: a country like the USA, which has so much influence and is listened to around the world, is saying that the elections in Bangladesh were fake. However, the USA has never said that Pakistan’s elections were unfair.
The US has been putting pressure on Bangladesh. Imagine how hard it must be for Bangladesh to handle all this. If the USA criticized Indian democracy, think about the noise it would create. Right now, Bangladesh’s government is dealing with criticism about their elections.
But the USA didn’t stop there. They have also imposed sanctions on Bangladesh’s government and military officials. During this time, the media in Bangladesh asked the Prime Minister, “What’s going on?”The government of Bangladesh is facing criticism about their recent elections. The USA has also imposed sanctions on some people in the Bangladeshi government and military.
During this time, the media in Bangladesh asked the Prime Minister what is happening and how they should handle the pressure on their country. The Prime Minister explained that before the recent elections, a person from a western country came to meet her. She did not mention the name of the country.
Then, he said that this person made an offer to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. The offer was to give their country a military base in exchange for free elections.
They promised not to raise any issues about human rights or freedom of speech.
They said it would be like in Pakistan, where elections were held even with Imran Khan in jail. The army organized the elections, and a new Prime Minister was chosen without any issues.
Sheikh Hasina refused the offer and said she could win the elections on her own because her party is very strong. She also mentioned that Bangladesh would never give a military base to this country, most likely the USA.
US Military Base Controversy :
The headline says that the US is desperate for a military base in Bangladesh. Since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina refused to give them a base, the US has moved to Plan B. Under Plan B, they might take a small part of Myanmar and Bangladesh to create a new country, similar to East Timor. This new country would allow the US to set up a military base there easily.
This statement has caused a political storm in Bangladesh, especially with the opposition.In Bangladesh, the opposition party BNP is openly saying that Sheikh Hasina must name the world leader who offered her election victory for military support. Let’s assume it was the USA. If this happens, the USA would get very angry and impose more sanctions. The US won’t tolerate its name being mentioned openly because it would harm their reputation.
Why would the USA want a military base in Bangladesh?
If the US gets a military base in Bangladesh, it won’t need to depend on India as much. Right now, the USA spends a lot of resources to keep India on its side. India is a big economy with huge demands, so the USA has to offer a lot to keep India happy.
But if the america can bypass this by having a military base in Bangladesh, it will be cheaper and easier.
If a military base is built in Bangladesh, the USA could put direct pressure on China. This would reduce India’s geopolitical importance. You might ask if the America can really split a country. Many articles mention East Timor. East Timor was created by the USA in a way similar to how they might create a new country from Bangladesh and its main market territory.

Do you believe Sheikh Hasina’s statement? Do you think the US is really planning all this? Or do you think Sheikh Hasina is just looking for excuses and blaming other countries? What is your opinion?
