Who are they kidding? These shit bags travel by private jet shitting on the rest of the world probably 60% of the time anyways. Like it matters where they “reside”. Just die or get guillotined already.

Voluntary bachelorhood is bliss. More money, more time, more travel. No looming decades of childcare bills, healthcare bills, or the relatively high probability of maintenance payments til death.

Newsflash: confidential diplomatic meetings between diplomats (it’s their job) take place every day all over the world. Covert influence campaigns that would authorize, coordinate, and execute a political campaign must be authorized at the highest levels. If you think any bureaucrat working at the NSC or in the WH was gonna risk their hide authorizing such a campaign in Bangladesh, you are delusional and obviously have no clue what you’re talking about.

I have looked into it and don’t deny they were atrocious and pernicious. I just don’t see the fingerprints of one here.

Diplomatic pressure is COMPLETELY different from covert action or covert influence. Every nation exerts diplomatic pressure.

I still haven’t seen any compelling evidence that this was US backed. If anything Hasina is an example of generational wealth and power who wasn’t doing anything for the working class in her four terms of office.

And just to be clear, I’m not surprised some exploitative banker elitist shit stain managed to weasel his way to the front of the crowd and grab the mic. These are the sociopathic types that are ready to co-opt any moment for their own purposes.

I truly wish for Bangladesh to restructure their society to actually look out for the working class.

Ok multiple things CAN be true at the same time:

  • the protests were organic, not military led (didn’t see any evidence for that) and tied to legitimate grievances with the PM
  • a US-aligned politician positioned themselves to become the interim leader without support
  • the army opportunistically positioned itself to support the students after they saw the groundswell of support the movement was getting

It’s a massive stretch to think this is some sinister US plot. The US has huge bureaucratic hurdles to pulling off shit like this in compressed timelines like the protest movement. The Biden admin has NOT been a fan of interventionism or active interventionism in general outside of direct Russia or China relations. It’s doubtful anyone with authority in DC even knew what was going on much less authorized the CIA to energize a coup that would piss off India, who the US is courting btw. Not even considering what it would take for the US to proactively PLAN and execute something like this.
