Forum Rats and Keyboard Warriors: What’s Really Going On Here?
There was a time other countries envied America, and wanted to be like America. Now nobody wants to be like America, they think it is a sh!tshow. Have you ever asked yourself how that happened? -

Border Thai and Cambodian Troops Clash Near Ta Muen Thom Temple
Some good points, however, the disputed territory is at the heart of this issue for more than one reason, and actually informs the political background in various ways: 1) The disputed territory has always been used by Cambodia to stir up nationalist sentiment when Cambodian leaders considered this expedient, as Hun Sen does now to shore up the position of his son in Cambodia. He is using the nationalist sentiment which the territorial issues arouses in Cambodians, who feel this territory is theirs by right. 2) The Thai side too feels aggrieved by the error made by the French colonial authority when they awarded a temple to the Camobdian side, which clearly should have belonged to the Thai side looking at the map. Not just that but it goes deeper, because after WWII the French ousted the Thais from Cambodian territories the Thais had annexed hoping to profit from the war. The French then ousted them and this stil rankles to this day in Thai educated circles. 3) The Cambodians fear that they are wedged between two larger powers, Vietnam and Thailand, and that Thailand will continue to lay claim to lands, which they believe is theirs by right. This is why Cambodia escalated to the ICJ, and this is why, in part, they know also want to force the issue, because they are concerned of never ending conflict with Thailand, who will keep raising this issue of disputed territory. So whilst there are indeed political issues of current times that influence the situation, the historical underlying border issues are also seen as vital national interests by both leaderships and are of great importance. The more regrettable we once have to thank incompetent, greedy, and exploitatative former colonial powers from Europe from creating conflict with their incompetence, in this case France, who messed up the border issue by erroneously awarding a temple to Cambodia. And the ICJ was not much better, as it clarified the temple situation, but not the ownership of the surrounding land. Obviously parties precipated the situation, the Cambodians are accusing the Thais of moving border markers, which I can well believe happened and is happening now, and undoubtedly the Cambodians provoked the current situation with patrols, patriotic songs and foregoing the established bi lateral commission to solve the border issue and instead appealing to ICJ, UN etc., as well as possibly laying mines. It's a clear case of both parties feeling they were screwed, and certain territories are theirs by right. It's not just about Hun Sen wanting to shore up his son and falling out with the Shinawatras. -

Analysis Rising Tensions: Is Full-Scale War Looming on Thailand-Cambodia Border?
Well observed Cambodia is the bad guy here just like Putin in the Russian Ukraine war. Folks with vile intentions trying to change the narrative. It’s amazing how some fail to see the forest for the trees.
