If Burmese, Laos, Cambodia have decided to attack the Thai and the 3 fronts and the extremist from the South, there is nothing that the Thai military can do but the run for their lives. I don't want war, because it killed too many innocents people. However, if the Thai policy don't change quickly they will be facing war at all front of which they cannot afford. This will plunge their economy for good.
Thailand is provoking the war with its neighboring countries. As far as i'm concerned, Thailand is very rich and has a large number of people. It may want to send its people to die and spend money to destroy itself. May you success in your plan. God bless you and your sinful deeds.
I sense insecurity from Thailand. Thailand doesn't need to feel threaten by its neighbors. I don't know why all of sudden it starts to beefing up the defenses, from who? Thailand is facing many enemies. Like Isreal which is a little brat of America as Thailand is a sweet little whore of America and the west. One thing these two have in common is, they have enemies waiting for the right opportunity to slit their throat. Whatever the case Thailand, beefing yourself up too much might only make a stew out of you.
May any god see to it for your misdeeds, scumland.
This is hilirious!! They bought fighter jets and now forming tank regiments against a small defenseless country. Well unless they're preparing for the Viet as well.
Thailand want to go war with Vietnam?, US want to take their revenge by using Thailand to play a role..?
These tanks are not really strong than rusted AK-47?
Cambodia should have bought plenty of javelin anti-tank guided missile instead of chinese made...
The best way for Cambodia is to armed itself with tanks, heavy and long-range artillery, but especially fighter jets. If the American F-16s cost about $35 million each, then the Chinese and Russian fighter jets could cost much less. I think Cambodia can afford at least 10 of them, or even more.
Cambodia need the most high tech Missile to take down the damn planes, that's all we need...Don't rely on those FN-6 from china, they are useless! I suggest we buy more BM-30 to team up with BM-21, that will give cambodia a strong ground troops!!
