We deserve peace!!

[Op-Ed] An army’s discipline is measured not by its press releases, but by how it treats civilians. In Pursat, Banteay Meanchey, and Oddar Meanchey provinces, the conduct of Thai armed forces has laid bare a troubling truth: this is no longer the behaviour of a professional military, but of a force operating without moral restraint and becoming robbers.

After the Cambodian Foreign Ministry said Thai forces control the Ta Thav area, Cambodian soldiers posted a video this evening showing they remain stationed there, saying they have not lost even one millimeter and calling the claim fake news.

Thai soldiers helping themselves to things that belong to Cambodians.

Thai soldiers entered a house in Cambodia and allegedly looted items.

In 1941, Thailand invaded Cambodia and later declared war on the United States and the United Kingdom.¹ In 2025, Thai accusations that Cambodian soldiers fired across the border are again being used to justify an ongoing Thai invasion of Cambodia. Similar claims formed the basis of Thailand’s 1941 invasion of Cambodia. Then, as now, Thailand’s military action was intended to annex Cambodian territory. Despite full knowledge of Japan’s genocidal conduct in China, including the 1937 Nanjing Massacre in which approximately 200,000 civilians and prisoners of war were killed, Thailand entered into a treaty with Japan on June 12, 1940.² This agreement laid the groundwork for Japan’s subsequent occupation of French Indochina and British Malaya. After ratifying the treaty, Thailand invaded Cambodia and Laos in January 1941, claiming that French colonial forces in Cambodia had fired across the border into the Thai town of Aranyaprathet. In reality, Thailand had been preparing for invasion for months.³ Within weeks, Thailand forcibly annexed northern Cambodian provinces and western Lao territories.⁴ In December 1941, Thailand and Japan concluded a further agreement providing for mutual military support, with Japan explicitly backing Thailand’s territorial claims covering annexed areas of Cambodia, Laos, Malaya, and Burma.⁵ This agreement secured Thailand’s role as a logistics hub and staging ground for Japan’s conquest of British Malaya and Burma between 1941 and 1942.⁶ In July 1943, Japan rewarded Thailand for its cooperation by transferring to it six provinces of British Malaya and Burma.⁷ During this period, Thailand facilitated and materially benefited from Japan’s use of forced labor to construct the Burma Railway, linking Bangkok to Yangon.⁸ Among the enslaved laborers were 30,131 British and 686 American prisoners of war. Of these, 6,904 British and 131 Americans died as a result of brutal working conditions.⁹ Following the Allied victory in World War II, Thailand was compelled to relinquish all territories it had annexed in Cambodia, Laos, Malaya, and Burma. Britain initially sought punitive measures, including extended occupation of Thailand and potential control over the Thai Isthmus.¹⁰ The United States, however, opposed harsh postwar treatment, arguing that severe demands would destabilize Thailand and the wider region.¹¹ As a result, Thailand faced limited accountability for its wartime territorial aggression. Now, in 2025, with little apparent collective memory of the consequences of its earlier irredentist ambitions, Thailand is once again invading Cambodia. References 1Thai declaration of war:

Trump Threatens Thai & Cambodia with Tariffs "I just used tariffs 10 minutes ago, just before you came, to settle the new inflammation that took place with Thailand and Cambodia," Trump told the WSJ in an interview released Saturday. “If you have the war, not only am I going to break the trade deal we have, but I’m going to put tariffs on your country," he added, "Nobody can do that but me." Heavy clashes have continued along the border between the two countries over the weekend.

Thailand's caretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul vowed to keep fighting on the disputed border with Cambodia as fighter jets struck targets hours after US President Trump said he had brokered a new ceasefire reut.rs/3MsYTKi

I will explain and clarify PM Anutin Charnvirakul spoke in Thursday regarding U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that he would call the Prime Ministers of Thailand and Cambodia. He said that if the U.S. President calls him in his capacity as head of government, he will explain and clarify the events that have developed into the current situation, so that the President can understand the matter in detail if he chooses to make contact. #ThailandCambodia #Anutin

Earlier, Cambodian Army RM-70 Multiple Rocket Launcher Systems (MRLS) were observed moving toward forward positions along the border with Thailand.

Nothing can stop the truth from Thailand.

Thailand’s Air Force said in a statement issued Wednesday that it is prepared for “deep-strike operations inside Cambodia” if it verifies that Phnom Penh intends to keep using heavy weapons. It has already outlined “high-value military targets” and says it is ready to hit “any designated target” once it determines an “imminent threat.” Hard to know how seriously to take this. Are these idle threats, or a signal that escalation is already on the table?

Moment a Tactical Rocket Strikes the Cambodia-Side Tmoda Casino Building Intelligence indicated that the building was being used as a sniper post threatening Thailand’s sovereignty. The Chanthaburi and Trat Border Defense Command (CBDC) launched “Trat Suppress the Enemy” operations, destroying the casino building where Cambodia had positioned snipers and military equipment, preparing to attack Thai territory from an elevated position. The building had encroached into Thai-side territory.
