>>511333312Hun Sen doesn’t like Thailand’s current PM, aka Thaksin’s nephew, and Thaksin wants to legalize casinos in Thailand. If that happens, Thai politicians won’t need to go launder money at Cambodian casinos anymore.
To sabotage that, Hun Sen leaked an audio clip showing Thailand’s PM acting like his lapdog, hoping Thai people will turn on each other. His goal? To push Thai politicians who are still his lapdogs, but won’t legalize casinos in Thailand.
But we Thais have a saying: “We won’t fight each other.” Because in the past, every time we did, invaders took advantage, and we lost.
Then Hun Sen ordered troops to cross into Thai territory and open fire on Thai soldiers. Thai troops returned fire, but Cambodia claimed Thailand shot first.
The conflict escalated fast. Cambodia fired BM-21 rockets at Thai gas stations and hospitals, clear violations of the Geneva Convention—serious war crimes.
Thailand’s military was ordered to only strike back at Cambodian army base, revenge attacks is not allowed, so we wouldn’t look like the bad guys too.
Hun Sen fled the country in his private jet, but China wouldn’t let him land. Then he tried South Korea. Latest reports say he’s headed to Singapore.
