After posting an article about Gen. Kun Kim's warning to Thailand titled "Gen. Kun Kim warned Thai troops not to provoke clashes", some readers have made very interesting comments and visualize a possible scenario if war breaks out between Thailand and Cambodia. Please have a read below:

It is good that a Cambodian general issued a warning to Thailand, but his warning is only rhetoric. Kun Kim must know that when it comes to a full scale war with Thailand, Cambodia won't stand a chance with Thailand as it has 3 times more soldiers than Cambodia, it has more than a hundred times of jet fighters than Cambodia and Thailand has far more modern weapons than Cambodia. But no matter what Cambodia has to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Cambodia has another boss vietnam or thailand or north korea. I don't think when the war is in full scale, Cambodia lost to in the war.
Your idea is absolutely wrong..
It is year 2009. What you think in juggle,, under ground, tank ....something else,
As we know, in cambodia, everything never declare to everbody know.
anything can happened...
I don't support war but if the war is in full scale, Cambodia won't lost to thai 100 %.
Only UNSC can help cambodia.

You are right, only UNSC can help. To go to a full scale war with Thailand is not the option. In a full scale war, Thailand will wipe out Cambodian army with their more than 300 jet fighters very quick if it wants to. Cambodia does not have even one jet fighters.
Just look at these facts:
-Thailand has more than 300,000 well-trained and well-equipped army. Cambodia has less than 140,00 poorly trained and poorly equipped army.
-Thailand has more than 300 jet fighters, Cambodia has none.
-Thailand has more than 300 modern tanks, Cambodia has about 50 old tanks.
-Thailand has a very large fleet of American helicopters equipped with machine guns. Cambodia has none.
-Thailand has very large fleets of warships, Cambodia has a few poorly equipped small vessels bought from China.
-Thailand has modern roads and transport systems where it can move troops very fast with helicopters, planes and trucks, Cambodia has poor and dirt roads, no military planes etc.
With these facts before us, how can Cambodia fight a full scale war with Thailand. So the only option is to go to UNSC, request help from a third party (Asean)or take Thailand to International Court of Justice etc. Bilateral talks will only result in Cambodia losing more territories because Thailand has always employing grandstanding tactic, that is negotiate with the guns pointing at Cambodian's head.

Everything in cambodia never declare... Remember this word
If the war start, vietnam troop change their shirt to be cambodia troop shir. What you think..... ha ha ha ha
