Hun Sen, this time really got what he asked for.

Someone was willing to talk with you, but you refused, and sold out those who were willing to talk with you.

Now you have finally achieved your wish, there is no more talking.

On June 23, Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn launched a fierce attack on Cambodia after the "Cross-border Crime Conference."

"Cambodia is seen by the United Nations as a global crime center, which poses a threat to Thailand's national security!"

"Cambodia steals 600 billion Thai baht every year, and 40% of its GDP comes from telecom fraud!"

"Thai security agencies, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and others have launched a comprehensive counterattack against Cambodia!"

You see, how harsh these words from Paetongtarn are.

What actions are these?

1. Close the border.

Thailand will strengthen control at border checkpoints, limit the opening and closing times of border inspection stations in seven provinces, prohibit the entry and exit of vehicles and people, except for special necessary cases such as students and patients;

Prohibit foreign tourists from gambling in border areas, including stricter restrictions on flying to Siem Reap, Cambodia for gambling;

2. Cut off Cambodian telecom fraud funds

The Thai Ministry of Digital Economy and Society and the Anti-Online Crime Center will strictly investigate illegal accounts and money routes related to telecom fraud groups, and suspend internet services for all Cambodian military and government security institutions;

Additionally, the Thai Anti-Money Laundering Office cooperates in combating cross-border money laundering, freezing and seizing illegal assets of Cambodia.

3. Cut electricity and fuel

In terms of cross-border power, oil, and cargo exports, the export of goods that may be used to support criminal groups will be suspended, and the export of fuel to Cambodia will be suspended.

Paetongtarn further stated that she has instructed departments to develop clear timetables and KPIs for implementation, requiring immediate results within three months.

As for Cambodia's "stopping the import of Thai fuel," Paetongtarn said she didn't care.

She said if Cambodia does not import fuel from Thailand, it will make the price of fuel in Cambodia higher, ultimately hurting the Cambodian people.

Regarding the border closure, power cut, and fuel cut - who will implement them?

Paetongtarn said she fully authorized the military to execute them, and let them do it freely.

She also said that Thai security agencies and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society have taken strong measures, causing Cambodia to lose about 30 billion Thai baht in revenue.

She hopes all departments continue to work hard and increase efforts to combat transnational crimes, the greater the losses of Cambodia, the safer the Thai people will be, and it must continue to be implemented.

To be honest, regarding the dispute between Thailand and Cambodia, as a Chinese person, I shouldn't have any bias.

However, for some reason, this news just feels good to watch.

Uncle Hun Sen, "a man of extraordinary talent", completely abandoned face and credibility, and politically betrayed Paetongtarn and Thaksin for the absurd motive of "putting Thailand into internal conflict" and "showing that he could manipulate Thailand in his hands".

Now, he has obtained what he wanted, and it's entirely his own fault.

What "Thailand falls into chaos"?

For the Pheu Thai Party and Paetongtarn, now they have their revenge, and take their revenge.

Whether for self-protection or just to vent anger, Paetongtarn has only one way: to fight Cambodia to the end.

Use even more intense force than the Thai military to launch a full-scale counterattack against Cambodia.

Now, Thailand has completely treated Cambodia like Myanmar (even worse than Myanmar), cutting off electricity, internet, fuel, financial attacks, closing the border, and completely decoupling.

Hun Sen's request was "to open the border as soon as possible." Then, fulfill his wish, close it completely.

Luckily, the Pheu Thai government cannot mobilize the army.

If not, the prime minister's office might have directly ordered artillery attacks on the border, and the second military region would have launched a full-scale invasion of Cambodia overnight, allowing the "patriotic" Thai soldiers and Uncle Hun Sen to engage in a mutual destruction?

Therefore, in this world, some things are really not supposed to be done.

If the intention of Hun Sen and his son is truly "to incite a conflict between the civilian and military factions in Thailand," then this strategy has already failed from the beginning.

The current Pheu Thai government in Thailand is highly aligned with the military, and can only choose to fight Cambodia.

Certainly, now the Pheu Thai party may not be able to call it "no choice," but rather "sincerely."

Because Cambodia gave Paetongtarn no other choice.

Now prepare to bear the fury of the Thai prime minister.

Look, how happy her daughter looks?

People who play tricks will eventually reap what they sow; those who think too highly of themselves often lose everything.

Cambodia has lost the opportunity for peaceful and friendly relations with Thailand, and lost a neighbor that could have been cooperative and mutually beneficial. It will now fall into a long-term cold war with a powerful neighbor.

As long as Paetongtarn is in power, she will retaliate even more fiercely against "uncle's" kindness.

Even if Paetongtarn steps down, the next prime minister (regardless of which faction they come from) will dare not have anything to do with Hun Sen, but instead compete to show toughness.

I haven't studied whether Cambodia is really a "global telecom fraud center," or whether its GDP is indeed 40% from telecom fraud, so I can't say.

But in Thailand's view, that's how Cambodia exists.

Unless there is mediation from ASEAN or regional powers, the relationship between Thailand and Cambodia will plummet freely.

Whom can you blame?

Enjoy it well, clever players.
