The core drama in Thai politics right now — elections happen, but the people who were never elected still hold the power and run the show. The current prime minister is trying to use a war and a Parliament dissolution to stay in power while patriotism is at all time high

Interesting, seems like Cambodia military build-up are all within the borders and stationed on fortified points. While the warmonger moves aggressively, invading through multiple points of the borders before they declared war
🗺️
An extremely detailed map of Thai and Cambodian military buildup along the Northern border of the two countries over the past year. Much of the Cambodian buildup occurred prior to July, and most of the Thai buildup has taken place since.
The key hotspots where both sides have built up are:
- Prasat Ta Muan Thom
- Prasat Ta Kwai
- Prasat Khnar
- Chong Rayi
- Phu Pha Lek
- Preah Vihear
- Prasat Doun Tuan
- Chong An Ma
- Chong Bok
By and large, Thailand appears to have focused on building accessibility to more areas of the border, whereas Cambodia has fortified specific points, with fortifications around O'Smach and Chong Sangam specifically occurring without much contestation.
Overall, especially considering the scale of road-building through the forest, Thailand has expanded their presence more significantly (especially over the past 5 months) at the border. The most significant of these, from my view, is the plateau-edge between Phu Makhuea and Phlan Hin Paet Ko. In this area, it appears that Thai forces have cut off Cambodian supply to the top of the plateau, and largely taken over these positions.
More detailed analysis of where Thailand has moved its forward-deployment line since July will be provided in future posts.

Another false flag operation, again and again and again.
According to Khaosod News and Thai Enquirer, Thai PM Anutin has suspended all operations with Cambodia, including the planned release of eighteen Cambodian soldiers held as prisoners of war, after two troops were injured by a landmine near the border in Si Sa Ket on November 10. One lost his right leg.

These warmongers trying to create any kind of excuse to start another war
-A Cambodian military commander says Thailand breached the ceasefire twice.
-He claims Cambodia maintained its position with no troop movements or reinforcements.
-Around six or seven Thai soldiers crossed into Cambodian territory, sat down, and refused to leave until evening.
-After the ceasefire was in effect, 20 Cambodian soldiers were captured.
-Cambodia is demanding their immediate release.
-Thailand is reportedly treating the captured soldiers well.
-The Malaysian military attaché is now involved in efforts to secure their return.
-Photos shared by Cambodia show the soldiers appear to be in good health.
