Ultimately, India is likely to be negatively affected. The putchists seem to include some anti Indian elements, unlike the former government. I’d imagine that the coup will do even more to distance India from the US.
St Martin Island is on the border of Myanmar, so surely American base there would be used to destabilise Myanmar until aLibya scenario is reached and the B&R project is neutralised in this region and China’s use of Myanmar ports is completely denied by circumstance. It is clearly an evil plan and must be resisted!
US elites are bent on launching various kinds of chaos scenarios in many places and they are designed to harm the interests of those people!
China is also effected. It doesn't want another US based near it's periphery. If US wants Pakistan can provide a base for use against India. In the same way base in Bangladesh is useful against china even if Myanmar lost control of some area through which CMEC runs. Besides the rebels may allow China corridor ( as they have some relations with china)
China's only interests in Bangladesh is for a potential to cut off the neck to Assam, and I think China-Bangladesh relationship will ever get there. Bangladesh took a chunk of China's textile business away. China leased port in northern Sri Lanka and there is no need for a port in Bangladesh.
First, I question the existence of an "alt-media community."
There are lots of bloggers, websites, and individuals who rebel against the MSM demand for conformism. But the assertion that that diverse population constitutes a "community" seems doubtful to me. And why should anyone care what the many individual "AMC" voices are saying about the coup? It's certainly not something that concerns me.
>>"Bangladesh cultivated closer trade and military ties with China than with India under former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, which are so tight that Dhaka would inflict tremendous damage upon its own interests if it tried to “decouple” from Beijing. The US can’t easily replace China’s role."
That's an argument against the idea of the US trying to wedge Bangladesh away from China? Sounds more like some compelling reasoning for the plausibility of the opposite view. And just because the US can't replace China doesn't mean it wouldn't try to gum up the works. Look at Libya for example or Zambia or New Guinea or plenty of other places.
I just find it hard to believe that the US is meddling in Bangladesh to screw with India rather than China (assuming for the moment that the US really is behind the coup, a claim for which we don't have more than circumstantial, though plausible, evidence right now.)
And using St. Martin's island to promote a campaign of "terrorist-separatism as revenge for India’s refusal to distance itself from Russia"? Really? What reaction does the US expect from India in response to such a plot? Just doesn't seem realistic to me. St. Martin's seems much better positioned to meddle in Myanmar and establish a position on the west side of the Malacca Strait (assuming that there is any truth to the claim that the US really is seeking a base there which, again, is utterly unproven at the moment.)
Of course there is the example of Pakistan with which both the US and China have close relationships. And the US managed to induce the Pak army to oust Imran Khan whom it disliked while China-Pak relations have been treading water (I guess.) But that leads us to consider the central political players in Bangladesh.
The key question now is what aims the "transitional government," army, BNP and and Islamists are pursuing and to what extent they might be willing to accommodate US goals--whatever those are. And when is Sheikh Hasina going to elaborate her earlier elliptical claims of the past ("white man," "Christian state," etc)? Now that she is ensconced in Delhi, will she "tell all"?
It's notable that you fact-check the alt-media community. They are prone to disinformation and misinformation campaigns that can easily discredit that community.
