The leaders of both of these countries need to be slapped.

Is this what it all about? Taksin cutting off borders used by Thais for the casinos in Cambodia and disrupting the call centres, both with their huge money flows.

That's the million-dollar question. It depends on tactics and strategy. Perhaps many generals are thinking about that. For example, special operations units might be deployed — or maybe they already have been.

Exactly, the problem is what the generals on both sides decide. If Cambodia has drones, then the issue becomes more urgent.

All over the BBC and ITV since this morning with updates. They showed fighter planes , rockets (and missiles from Cambodia).

I wonder if they will stop international flights ? A friend of mine , Cambodian, left  France for PhnomPenh 2 days ago. Through Bangkok. Can’t get him on phone.

Thailand (the whole country) is becoming not safe? In what way?

[Mason45]

It's obvious there's a hidden agenda between Hun Sen and Teflon Tony, both are total grubs who show no respect for the decent people who live either side of the border. As soon as there were Thai fatalities I can't believe that Thailand didn't retaliate with their much publicised Chinese made military might.

Cambodia offered to let the International Court adjudicate and Thailand refused.

I thought that the IC adjudicated this sometime this century. Thailand never contested the ruling anywhere near the time limit and then had some lousy excuse when they said, "but, but, but" years later.

Where to, from?

 

Some International flights have been cancelled due to Typhoon Wipha, and the India/Pakistan airspace closure, otherwise business as usual.

Don't you think there need to be some decisions made?

How many, where, what arms will they bring, logistics needed?

I kinda thought that that was exactly the job of the bigshots, to plan for, at the very least, obvious scenarios, especially with the Shina-Hun-Sen drama and falling out of late. That's been a couple of weeks in the making, right?

Well from the USA to Cambo I can fly via SIN or Vietnam, but thats a really sucky flight. Id like to go to BKK but have no desire to have to transit via Laos.

The only thing I miss in all topics is what happened really... I can not imagine that Cambodia starts to fight, but I know that Thai news is not broadcasting all facts, and only approved news. This is another example I believe...

I think we can safely assume that both sides are lying through their teeth whenever it suits them.

I'll tell you why we can conclude that Cambodia provoked the situation, just before the firefight the Cambodians had marched into the contested area singing patriotic songs. They were clearly trying to provoke the situation.

A nice excuse for a military coup

Why don't you just stick to talking about EVs.  You obviously not nothing of substance nor history of this conflict.

[smedly]

what were they actually trying to hit with these rockets, at least Thailand targeted and hit military targets

[Hal65]

Finally get to see Thailand in fight mode! Been here 11 years and this is new. Back in '14 it was just internal small guns conflict.
