Thailand's Army Department has approved the Thai military to fire back at the Cambodian military in response to previous shelling by the Cambodian forces. In this way, the firing between the Cambodian and Thai border has been legalized, which is a very dangerous signal! Cambodia and Thailand are mutually accusing each other, believing that the other side fired first, which made them retaliate. In the blogger's view, whether it was the first or the second to open fire is irrelevant.
This is the beginning of the worsening relationship between the two countries. It can be seen that both countries have entered a state of intense competition over the sovereignty of Preah Vihear Temple. The risk of full-scale war cannot be ruled out in the future. However, there is a major power in the north that will definitely not allow Cambodia and Thailand to go to war, because peace in Indochina is necessary for various integrations and developments.
Especially the China-Thailand railway, which is currently under full-scale construction and planning, cannot break this situation. If someone wants to disrupt this line, China will certainly have its own ideas and methods. Let's wait and see.
The ultimate purpose of war is not for land, but for money, these goals. However, it is clear that Cambodia cannot fight against Thailand, and its financial strength is also inferior to Thailand. Therefore, Cambodia can only try to gain the maximum benefit. Cambodia and Thailand have always been unfriendly. In the past, during the eras of Prayut and Hun Sen, the two sides were relatively harmonious.
But no one could have expected that with Thailand's comprehensive crackdown on border crimes and internet companies, it directly caused Cambodia to lose a lot of income. Therefore, Cambodia's flip-flop has become a fact. But regardless, Thailand should have an advantage and justice in this border conflict, because they are indeed fighting for justice.
Cambodia should cooperate with Thailand, find ways to quickly clean up the internet companies, and stop being糊涂 anymore. Re-develop a new economy, don't rely on some less-than-ethical ways to make money. Remember, remember!
