After the recent revolution in Bangladesh, there seems to be a lot of suspicions arising on foreign involvement, mainly fueled by Indian media. I attempt to address some.
Mujib Mashal, the south Asia bureau chief of the New York Times, said in a video post on X that it was “complete mob rule”.
“The victims of yesterday are perpetrators of today; men armed with clubs and pipes (many identified themselves as BNP and Jamaat) thrashing and chasing away anyone they suspect of being Awami League,” he said.
Which videos/articles by Brian Berletic (especially those related to DOS/USAID/NED, US government funding of opposition, student movements, technology and social media platforms, etc.) do you approve of in particular and why don’t the general fundamentals of his analysis apply to Bangladesh?
Brian hasn't particularly mentioned any funding of student opposition groups/NGOs involved in the protests in his analyses. He mentioned about some small media groups like CGS if I remember correctly which have no influence on public opinion whatsoever as they have a very small following. They're mostly like those think tanks in Washington.
And I explained how US aid in education is not being harmful either as there is an alternate explanation for what he's showing. Overall, whatever he showed doesn't constitute as enough proof for a foreign backed regime change as I addressed many of those claims above in the article.

Hi Jason,

You should read the NED website.
US has invested millions in influencing Bangladesh.
