  • I have no love for a military coup but I would like to know(genuinely asking) why the US would want to get rid of hasina.

    Bangladesh has been one of the most friendly nations for foreign capital. Also their economy has been insanely neoliberal. They have extremely regressive taxation, 100+ special economic zones. Tax breaks, legal protections, generous fiscal incentives, concessions on imports, unrestricted exit policy(??? This is insane), one stop service for facilitation of foreign investors.

    What exactly did she do that irked the US so much? Looks more like a protest that got hijacked by the military(maybe after this erupted there was intervention to make sure the new person wasn't left leaning? But that's far from the US orchestrating the coup)
