Vox Populi: A wake up call in the wake of Thai bully

Anonymous said...

I would rather see our Cambodian governments buying more better weapons than these tanks and armored vehicles. I don't see any anti-air missile systems, we should consider buying Buk-M1-2, Tor-M1 or something very high-tech weapons...Cambodia must stand up and strengthening her power, yes!! There will be future invasion by these neighbors if we don't upgrade ourselves...These neighboring countries will invade us again in the near future, if we don't upgrade our military, Yes!!

Modernization of Cambodia military is slowly taking shape. Given another 5,1 0,or 15 years, Cambodia miltary will not be like today, that's a promise. What Cambodia have now in her military inventory are not the greatest, but something to get by. Cambodia didn't expect to have war any time soon. Thank to Thailand's aggression, it makes Cambodia rethink. Cambodia now have reasons to build up the military. Currently, Cambodia only spent about $250 millions or so on defense, that is just about 3-5 percents of Cambodia GDP.
Reconstruction is the main focus for Cambodia. When Cambodia economy improve, more money will be available to upgrade those old weapons. Militarily, Cambodia now is at a disadvantage. So that could explain the level of Thailand's aggression. Thailand is trying to do away with a Cambodia now before Cambodia becomes strong. Nevertheless, Cambodia will not be deterred by an enemy who hadn't proven itself to defeat any nation with its show and tell war machines and battle-inexperienced troops.

I agree with 6:13am! Cambodia didn't really expect to have war again or go to war again. That's why Cambodia didn't bother to have good weapons, but I think this is a wake up call for the Cambodian government, if they (Govts) don't do something about their military power in the future, there will be more insults from neighboring countries again and again...Don't just sit around and become too relaxed!!, too peaceful! Cambodia must stand up and strengthening her power, the world has changed...

I live abroad and I will go and join my militarymen and women. We will fight and protect our homeland...with all cost! I had seen enough of Thai bullying, abusing our people during their escape to Thailand/Cambodian border in 1979. I still don't understand why they hated us so bad..? Thai soldier have beaten and kicked Khmer refugees. They treated us like animals and they even said 'we are not Khmers'! They are the ones who are Khmers! I heard this Thai soldier said very loud and clear...

It's time to put different party aside and come together as one CAMBODIA! ready to defend our country, united all of our people inside and outside, we all must put the negative ideas aside at the moment, we don't care who, what party they are, we now need to come together as one Khmer Empier Nation! I agree, Cambodia has enough of Thai bullying! We want Thailand and other countries to know that CAAMBODIA is no longer weak as you alway thought about us, we are stronger and stronger every day, we had enough weapons to defend our homeland today!!

It's about time we stand up to the Thai bully. A bully will always be a bully if we let IT be. Thailand has always bullied Cambodia because we allowed IT to bully us. Thailand had taken enough Khmer lands, like Surin, Sisaket, Korat...etc. Now they wanted to take more because our Khmer government is very weak and scared of Thailand. We must flex our military muscles a little bit so they will not try to push us around too much.

It's really hurt that we was forced to remove our national flag from our land. Thailand too much threatens Cambodia. They (Thais) don't have any official or internationally recognized documents to proof the area belong to them. I might go to fight too. It's not against us, it is against the justice and stability of the world. It's like we go back to seventh century, where the rich and stronger people encapsulate the poor, weak people and land.

I agreed with you guys 100 percent for thai will invad our country, if we are not do anything about it. however, we live by the donors, we have no money to upgrade our weaponaries. we are now rely on Vietnam help from behind Hun Sen that's all.
also, this a distraction from Hun Sen's government to avoid attention from the vietnam took our land on the southside , he focused on the north instead. so please if you care about our country , tell hun sen stop the vietnam steal our land from the poor on the southside o.k.
some of you said that you will go there to fight against Thai invasion if they do it. how about right now Vietnames took our land and invaded our country, why don't you go now to fight against Vietnames? why wait untill thai invasion?
if hun sen forced the vietnam out of our country i will go there to help too man. if not I won't.
