Maj. Gen. Wanchana Sawatdee shared this estimate during an interview on "Naewna Online". He noted reports from four different sources, but concerns about accuracy persist, with estimates ranging from 700 to 6,000.

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Thai Army: 2,500 Cambodian Troops Killed in Border Clashes
Maj. Gen. Wanchana Sawatdee. Picture courtesy of THai Rath The Thai army reports that about 2,500 Cambodian soldiers have died in ongoing border clashes as they attempt to reclaim the Prasat Ta Khwai area in Panom Dongrak district, Surin, and the Pumakhua area in Kantharalak district, Sisaket. Maj. Gen. Wanchana Sawatdee shared this estimate during an interview for "Naewna Online." He noted reports from four different sources, but concerns about accuracy persist, with estimates ranging from 700 to 6,000. Cambodian forces have mainly suffered casualties in rear support divisions due to Thai airstrikes, rather than in direct frontline engagement. Thai troops have regained control over disputed territories by adhering to established boundaries, while Cambodian forces have retreated. The conflict reignited when both sides overstepped their previously agreed boundary lines. The current focus is on two critical points, with Cambodia holding a geographical advantage in Prasat Ta Kwai, particularly at Hill 350. Bombarding these strategic locations is risky due to the potential for retaliation using long-range weapons. Cambodian military efforts are concentrated on reinforcing troops at both Pumakhua and Ta Kwai as they strive to regain lost ground. Past border disputes between both countries have frequently sparked tensions and military confrontations. The strategic importance of the territories in question plays a significant role in the continued hostilities. The Thai army is determined to maintain its reclaimed positions, focusing on a map scale of 1:50,000 to ensure accuracy in territorial claims. Meanwhile, the evolving situation on the ground puts diplomatic efforts in jeopardy. The ongoing redeployment of Cambodian troops suggests a prolonged conflict, as neither side shows signs of backing down. The current developments emphasise the need for sustainable peace talks to prevent further loss of life and restore stability in the region, according to Thai Newsroom. In conclusion, the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia over these territories remains intense, with significant casualties reported on the Cambodian side. The military situation continues to evolve, highlighting the complexities of establishing long-term peace amidst longstanding territorial disputes.

UK Sudanese Migrant 'Tried to Snatch Girl in Front of Dad'
Chomper has a selective memory as you've surmised. Only ever turns up on politics threads on this forum to defend the cause of socialism - highly predictable in that regard 😄 They did indeed talk about "smashing the gangs" when campaigning for election and rightly criticised the abject failure of the Conservatives in this area, while conveniently forgetting they opposed every initiative to try and stop illegal immigration including the Rwanda scheme (which they half tried to resurrect via Albania and were told to FO, Italy have that one sewn up :D). Starmer talked about "smashing the gangs" - absolute BS as everyone knew, even the ex head of the Border Force said so in an interview. Starmer and co. are clueless - the best they can come up with is a 50 in, 50 out per week scheme - on a trial basis. And expect the UK public to see that as a win. Hardly when some days we are seeing nearly 1000 mostly men of fighting age, who are economic migrants from alien cultures masquerading as refugees, pitching up in the UK fully briefed on what they think they can expect from the govt. Truth is Starmer has no real plan. Expect more social unrest as time goes on. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Leicester City Backs Thailand Amid Border Tensions
Yeah, the whole thing is just silly and so not worth anyone losing their life over it. Geographically speaking it's definitely on the Thai side. -

Middle East Netanyahu Pushes for Military Action to Free Hostages
More pro-Israeli propaganda. Problem is, most people have seen right through it now. Israel censors all the news in Gaza for a good reason - they are embarassed at what is going on there and don't want it to be seen, hence why they've banned all foreign journalists. Maybe you could offer an explanation about the letter 500 ex-senior army commanders, Mossad people etc. sent to the media begging Trump to put a stop to what is going on there, given Mr Combover and his ragbag of ultra nationalists are total loose cannons?😄 No doubt Hamas are highly culpable and need to be kicked out for good but starving people and conducting genocide can't be covered up anymore. It's also hardening what was previously lukewarm support for Hamas when they are being ground into the dust. Israel is run by ultra nationalists who want to seize a lot more than Gaza, the war it's a convenient excuse for them to grab more land elsewhere and Bibi is hoping to write his name in folklore by being right behind it. I used to have sympathy for Israel, especially after what happened in Europe in 1939-45. Now I despise their present government as much as Hamas and the Islamic mob now. The government and their supporters are hypocrites. The only use Israel has as now is a bulwark to Iran. Even Trump has had enough of it, and that's saying something.
