Breakthrough, Thailand Open Fire
According to the announcement released by Thailand on the 24th, after Cambodia opened fire in the border area, both sides had a conflict.
However, the Cambodian side stated that they only responded after being attacked by the Thai army first.
As to who fired first between the two sides, it is currently unknown, but it is certain that the situation in this region is very tense.
Moreover, Thailand revealed that Cambodia has deployed a unit equipped with heavy weapons in this area, as well as a reconnaissance drone, leading to an extremely tense situation in the region.
Considering that both sides have already recalled their diplomats, which means the official diplomatic communication channel has been lost, if conflicts continue to occur, it may lead to larger-scale conflicts, which is not conducive to the lives and work of the people of the two countries.
But Cambodia's previous actions are indeed unethical. Although it led to the suspension of Pheu Thai, the Thai government understands that Cambodia's move is not just disrespectful to the Prime Minister of Thailand, but also does not want to ease the relations between the two countries. Therefore, it is inevitable that more conflicts will break out between the two sides in the future.
Moreover, Pheu Thai has received support from the Thai royal family and the military, and countless citizens have also chosen to trust her, so Cambodia will face greater pressure in the future.
More importantly, in terms of comprehensive strength, Thailand far exceeds Cambodia. Thailand's economy has a certain guarantee, while the latter's economic structure is relatively single, and its ruling foundation is not particularly stable. With the continued development of the conflict, it may lead to the outbreak of domestic crises in Cambodia.
