Arkady Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sad if anyone on either side gets hurt for nothing. Veera and his secretary should be left to rot in prison in Cambodia. The Thais should have locked them up themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notime Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 When the report says that shells landed on thai soil, did they land on Thai soil or just what thailand believes is Thai soil? Good question. But if in doubt they should just send that soil to the lab and run some tests to determine if the soil was indeed Thai or Cambodian. Easy!

Jimi007 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 What next? The government won't be able to handle it, Its different fighting with another country as opposed to slaughtering your own civilians, the army will come out and say the government don't know how to handle it, and then fast forward to the coup that we all know is coming based on the reds coming back into power at the next election, and a desire by the elite to stop that at all costs.

SantiSuk Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 50 Thai families in Chong Sa-ngam, Si Sa Ket preparing for evacuation due to Thai-Cambodian border gunfire exchange. /via@tulsathit Doesn't compute. Border fire reported at Preah Vihaar Temple area and 50 Thai families want to evacuate at Chong Sa Ngam. [Those two places are both in Si Saket province - true - but they are about 100 kilometres apart.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask yourself who might be behind the shooting? The reds coming back in power? That is if they get 51% of the votes. Otherwise it is coalition time, just like the former and the ongoing Government. And I am really afraid you have no ides whatsoever about the capabilities of the Thai military.

Good question. But if in doubt they should just send that soil to the lab and run some tests to determine if the soil was indeed Thai or Cambodian. Easy! Yes but if the Thais took any soil from the disputed area the Cambodians would claim that as proof of a Thai land grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinglife Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 "The Khmer are battle hard. They have fought a war till 15 years ago. They are holding the highland. Good luck with it. " The high ground is all on the Thai side and if it came to a war the Cambodians would be slaughtered in days, get your facts right before letting your hatred for the country that you live in run away with you.
