It's part of SOU 2024:77, which clarifies rules regarding the export of arms, and what guidelines need to be followed when deciding whether arms export is allowed or not.

You're free to believe that. I'm simply explaining what's actually going on and why, so people don't fall for the Cambodian propaganda.

Sweden has donated weapons and equipment to Ukraine, not sold it. And no, to my knowledge, Sweden has not sold arms to countries who are in active armed conflicts. Weapons purchased from Sweden before armed conflicts are of course being used by some countries, just like Thailand are currently.

People seem to be a bit confused regarding this, not the least thanks to the misinformation Cambodia is spreading. According to Swedish law, Sweden is not allowed to sell weapons to countries currently in an armed conflict. Thailand is currently in an armed conflict, and Sweden can therefore not approve the purchase of new Gripen at this point. Once the armed conflict is over, Sweden can approve the purchase. Sweden has not voiced any sort of criticism regarding how Thailand has used its Gripen planes. It's simply a matter of adhering to Swedish law. Sweden can, of course, choose not to sell more planes to Thailand if it's found out that Thailand has used them improperly, like attacking civilian targets, but there are no such indications as of now.

I'll never understand why (seemingly) grown men can not just simply accept facts and admit they made a mistake. Incredibly childish. What I wrote was facts. Period.

Again, stop spreading misinformation. "Thailand has accepted both verdicts from the ICJ regarding the temple and it's immediate surrounding area belonging to Cambodia, and are making absolutely no claims on it. The issue is that Cambodia is now claiming that a much larger area around the temple belongs to them, which is why they are yet again trying to make Thailand go to the ICJ."

Can you stop spreading this uninformed nonsense? Thailand has accepted both verdicts from the ICJ regarding the temple and it's immediate surrounding area belonging to Cambodia, and are making absolutely no claims on it. The issue is that Cambodia is now claiming that a much larger area around the temple belongs to them, which is why they are yet again trying to make Thailand go to the ICJ.

Incorrect. They have recognized and obeyed the rulings, but said that they don't recognize the court's authority in the matter and therefore won't accept Cambodia's invitation to take the case back there for a third time.

Thailand has obeyed the rulings. Contrary to what many seem to think, the ICJ didn't rule on where the border is. The first ruling was that Preah Vihear is in Cambodian territory. The second ruling was that the temple and it's immediate surroundings, an area of about 0,35 square kilometers, belong to Cambodia. Since then, Cambodia has made the claim that the area that belongs to them is in fact 4,5 square kilometers, which Thailand doesn't agree with. The court has made no ruling on that, and likely wont, because Thailand doesn't want or need to take the case back to the ICJ.

Thailand has accepted that the temple belongs to Cambodia. ICJ ruled that the immediate area around the temple was Cambodian territory in 2012, which is a 0,35 square kilometer area mentioned in Cambodia's initial filing in the 60's. Cambodia have since tried to lay claim to a larger area of 4,5 square kilometers, which Thailand opposes. "So in fact who is making the problems" Cambodia is, by digging trenches, fortifying both existing and new positions in the area, and, seemingly, laying mines in the area since March, in violation of the MOU (and this is just a few instances of the MOU violations they've perpetrated in the area). They then decided it was a good idea to open artillery fire on civilians, including children.

Are you joking? The bombing was a direct response to the massive advance (including Hun Sen's elite Bodyguard Headquarter) that Cambodia started one hour before the ceasefire, to try to take back positions lost to the Thai. They even went into Thailand in Trat and kept on firing long after the ceasefire should have taken place. Stop acting like Cambodia is the victim here, no one's buying it.

They defended themselves against a massive Cambodian advance, including trying to invade a new front in Trat. Cambodia is showing its true colors, and the world isn't being fooled by their propaganda and troll armies.

They have agreed on a ceasefire from midnight tonight.

In the meantime, the Cambodian embassy in Bulgaria has been caught spreading misinformation about Thailand using gas against civilians (using a cropped picture showing an airplane fighting wildfires in Los Angeles). They also claimed that the attacked 7-Eleven was 120 kilometers from the Cambodian artillery, which meant Thailand bombed the convencience store themselves. The 7-Eleven is actually much closer than that, well within Cambodian artillery range. The internet is absolutely riddled with the Cambodian propaganda and lies. Let's hope people are smart enough not to believe it. https://www.cambodiaembassybg.org/post/thailand-has-used-poison-gas-to-kill-cambodian-civilians
