I don’t think either country can sustain a ‘war’...more than 4 to 6 weeks. In Thailand’s case...it’s scaring the crap out of tourists with reservations.
Cambodia will loose. There is a reason North Vietnam never took on Thailand during the insane Vietnam War.
Big boys. Suit yourselves.
Andrew KorybkoMeaning the Russia idea of BRICS as long as Russia is in charge. On his LinkedIn page he claims he is a "freelance Independent Moscow-Based American Political Analyst" since 2019. Working in Moscow as a public figure and claiming any freedom of thought is a contradiction in terms. Someone is paying him for his work, including globalresearch.ca and Sputnik.
@korybko
I'm a Moscow-based American political analyst specializing in the global systemic transition to multipolarity.
Cambodia attacked Thailand. Cambodia's leader, Hun Sen, is functionally dictator for life. Thailand is a U.S. ally, Cambodia has a lot of international criticism. To shift blame from Cambodia, Korybko accuse the US of plotting regime change. A little looking thing up shows how selectively one-sided he is to advance the Russian view. Take what he says with more than a grain of salt.
Thailand???
China supported Pol Pot in killing millions of Cambodians in the late 1970’s. They protected Pol Pot even when Vietnam moved in to stop him.
Pol Pot died of old age in the Kmere Rouge region between Cambodia and Thailand.
The Khmer Rouge then fled to Thailand, whose government saw them as a buffer force against the Communist Party of Vietnam. The Khmer Rouge continued to fight against the Vietnamese and the government of the new People’s Republic of Kampuchea until the end of the war in 1989. The Cambodian governments-in-exile (including the Khmer Rouge) held onto Cambodia’s United Nations seat (with considerable international support) until 1993, when the monarchy was restored and the name of the Cambodian state was changed to the Kingdom of Cambodia.
This is the area where the border war is most intense. The people in this area are very poor.
I spent a few hours at the border checkpoint in this area. There were still people pulling carts with bison crossing between the countries. I was surprised to see street vendors selling bowls of insects and scorpions for lunch.
Reference for Thai - Cambodia conflict.
Change the name of the Gulf of Thailand to the Gulf of Cambodia.
