All,
Why are we Khmer still talking or negotiate with the Thais? Take the issues to the U.N and the World Court....
It seems that all the past and the current issues are causes by the Thais....
Khmer Angkorian, Khmer USA
Kill them all, let god sort them out. Let them f!*king come. The more they come, the more they will f!*king die. They want to fight, Khmer will give them a good fight to remember. Time to unleash Khmer Rouge style madness on the Siem. It's been centuries of waiting for an opportunity to give a bloody revenge on the Siem dogs. Don't ever forget, Thailand started this. Cambodia was just reacting to Thailand's bullying. They wanted to fight with the Khmer very bad, they will get the fight with the Khmer in a very bad way.
Don't f!*king give up and retreat already. It's not even round one, yet.
The Cambodian soldiers, who have been looked down by Thai soldiers as undisciplined, have taught Thai soldiers a very good lesson. This will make Thai troops think twice before bully Cambodia again.
