Hun Sen once again posted a photo of himself presiding over the command center to deal with the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict, looking very tired, as his hair was messy! Hun Sen is old, so he cannot go to the front lines to command frontline operations, and his sons are not experienced enough to command the army. In his youth, Hun Sen had experienced hundreds of battles, and he was also a general who climbed up from the grassroots in Cambodia. It is indeed remarkable that he has achieved such success.

Regardless, Hun Sen still has the strength. However, even if Hun Sen has great strength, it is not enough for Cambodia to be too weak. Cambodia's strength is not strong enough, so even if Hun Sen has strong military capabilities, the Cambodian army cannot be revived. This is a fact. Therefore, regardless of anything, Cambodia must show a sufficiently strong posture in order to gain enough strength.

Regardless, Cambodia should try every possible way to handle the surrounding affairs as soon as possible in order to get the support of neighboring countries. This is reality. In the opinion of the blogger, the biggest step back of Hun Sen is to issue another "confession of guilt," apologizing to all Cambodian citizens. He would say that he is old and confused, made strategic miscalculations, or was unable to fully grasp the situation in Thailand, leading to the war in the border areas, which brought severe suffering to the Cambodian people. This is to seek forgiveness from both the Thai and Cambodian people.

In short, the root cause of the entire conflict is Hun Sen's arrogance. He originally knew that Thailand was not someone to mess with, but he still kept provoking Thailand, resulting in this crisis.

On July 27, Pheu Thai also stated in her speech that this war is not between Cambodia and Thailand. It is because Thailand is cracking down on internet companies and transnational criminal groups, which has offended the interest groups in Cambodia. This has caused the enmity between Cambodia and Thailand. In fact, Pheu Thai is subtly implying that Hun Sen is the biggest mastermind behind the scenes, which led to the war between Thailand and Cambodia. However, Hun Sen did not respond, and it is unknown what he will think next.
