Deputy Prime Minister of Cambodia, Tya Sihanouk, met with General Samuel Paparo, Commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, and Edgar Cagan, the U.S. Ambassador to Malaysia! Reaffirmed the ceasefire initiative, ensuring that the ceasefire is successfully implemented effectively. Committed to providing key logistical and technical support for the establishment of the ASEAN monitoring team. Cambodia is trying to please the United States, letting the United States protect Cambodia's security. But in reality, the United States will not particularly take care of Cambodia, because Thailand is the top priority for the United States.

Thailand and the United States have been allies since the 1960s, and there are U.S. military bases in Thailand. Cambodia hopes to get more attention from the United States, but the United States can't pay attention to all. There are many things in this world that the United States can't handle, Cambodia is small and weak, with poor strength, wanting to get special attention from the United States, it's impossible to even get in line.

Even if the United States can pay attention to Southeast Asian countries, it would prioritize Singapore, actually Thailand. Cambodia's attention can only be at the end of the list. Moreover, Cambodia has been ruled by the Hun Sen family for nearly 40 years. This is no different from a feudal country to the United States, so the United States will not offend Thailand for Cambodia, which is inevitable.

The big country in the north only mediates between Cambodia and Thailand, without taking sides. Cambodia hopes the United States pays more attention to itself, which is impossible. Thailand is much stronger than Cambodia, but no matter what, Cambodia can try to seek attention from the United States, or even hope that the United States can establish a military base in Cambodia, it's hard to say.

But with the Hun Sen family in Cambodia, there can't be a U.S. military base, because the U.S. requires Cambodia to implement democratic reforms, first of all, hold elections, and not allow the Hun Sen family to continue ruling, which is like revolting against the Hun Sen family, right? Therefore, Cambodia absolutely doesn't have such face to get the protection of the United States, just a simple meeting.
