Khmer great arm forces are doing great job what it's suppose to do.
So sad to hear that. But, it's not a surprise any way. It's only a pause for reinforcement and changing tactics. Abishit and Prayut haven’t achieved their goal yet. Since they have gone this far, they won’t give up easily. They don’t hesitate to spend more blood. I wish Thai people and Thai armies have enough courage to against Prayut and Abishit’s nonsense policies in order to spare life and allow people to go back to their homes.
The thai politics are run by the military general not the prime minister or Prayut. Theyre just the mouthpiece for the Thai general.
This is not the first time the Thai sides violate the ceasefire agreement. On 5th Feb, the ceasefire was reached, but after Cambodian troops handed over 5 captured Thai solders to Thai commanders, they turned around and attacked Cambodian troops and the fighting lasted until 7 Feb. How can you trust some who is so cunning and dishonest like this. The Thais are masters of lies and hypocrites. The Thais agreed to the ceasefire agreement as a ploy to resupply and reinforce troops. When they got enough supplies and troops, the started to attack Cambodian troops. Can't trust this kind of people.
