[chottala.com] Re: [notun_bangladesh] Re: Global Move to Boycott of Made In Bangladesh goods and services

We are not a small country . Popolationwise we are the
eightth largest country of the world. If we have to
survive then we have to hone our wits and use it
effectively to our advantage. We need an international
intelligence agencey to help and sssit the government
in achieving our objectives. Once we are able to
identify our enemies we can spread mis information or
true stories about those enemiies that hurts their
interests most. A tit for tat. It is only then they
will stop disturbing us.
