Many politicians in Bangladesh agree that they would be a weapons state. Then imagine India's plight. It would be surrounded by hostile nuclear weapon states on 3 sides. that is not a pleasant thought or situation.At the same time, Pakistan is unprincipled and unethical nation which will never have true friends. As for the Bangladeshis, the seem to be the biggest fools. If Pakistan was so keen to retain them, why did they not allow Mujibur Rehman to become Kaiser-E-Pakistan. The have displayed the worse form of racism and if Bangladesh thinks they would have gained anything out of their association with Pakistan, it would only be appeasement of their servile outlook.
