Hun Sen Takes Command in Cambodia–Thailand Border Clash
Cambodia’s former Prime Minister Hun Sen has emerged as the driving force behind his country’s response to escalating border clashes with Thailand — despite no longer holding the nation’s top job. The 72-year-old, now President of the Senate, was seen this week directing military coordination and dominating public messaging, overshadowing his son and successor, Prime Minister Hun Manet. Photos circulated online showed Hun Sen in military garb, flanked by senior officers, poring over maps and communicating by radio. Within hours of the conflict erupting, he took to Facebook — his platform of choice — to rally public support and issue pointed criticism of Thailand. The five-day flare-up, the worst in over a decade, was triggered after Cambodian artillery reportedly struck civilian areas in Thai border provinces. In an unusually direct accusation, the Thai army blamed the Cambodian leadership — explicitly naming Hun Sen as the orchestrator of the attacks. Hun Sen’s highly visible role has revived questions about where true authority lies in Phnom Penh. Although he stepped down in 2023 after nearly 40 years in power, analysts and diplomats say he continues to steer national policy, particularly in times of crisis. “Wearing the uniform, directing troops, posting constantly — he’s clearly positioning himself as commander-in-chief in all but name,” one diplomat told Reuters. Meanwhile, Hun Manet, a U.S.-trained general, kept a lower profile during the initial days of the standoff, eventually travelling to Malaysia where a ceasefire was brokered. Observers note his measured tone contrasts with his father’s combative style. The simmering border dispute — rooted in decades of territorial ambiguity — turned volatile after a Cambodian soldier was killed in May. Attempts to calm tensions were upended when a private call between Hun Sen and Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was leaked, prompting a political storm in Bangkok. Hun Sen later released the full recording and publicly rebuked the Thai premier in a fiery televised address, a move seen by some as deliberate political provocation. Despite stepping aside formally, Hun Sen's grip on power appears undiminished. His front-line leadership in this crisis has triggered a wave of nationalist support at home — and made it clear that Cambodia’s strongman still calls the shots. -2025-08-01 -

Gavin Newsom floats November special election for his anti-Trump redistricting push
Trump, Trump, Trump. Hey Gavin, why don't you tell the voters how you plan to solve crime, the mass exodus from California, the poop on the street and your abysmal budget woes? Give them something to vote FOR. But you can't... All you have is Orange Man Bad. -
