ASEAN has enjoyed more than 50 years of peace after the French and Americans fled from Vietnam. This peace is not easy to maintain with the white savages trying to start another war to destabilise the region. Mickey Marcos has been in the forefront aiding the Americans to start a war in the South China Sea. China has to exercise great restraint and endured the silly provocation of this Mickey Mouse to avoid an open conflict. But China's patience is wearing thin as the provocations get more serious with the Mickey Mouse allowing the American terrorists to deployed nuclear missiles in their islands to target China.
Now the unexpected has happened. The temple dispute between Thailand and Cambodia was settled in 1962 when the UN passed judgement that it belonged to Cambodia. Since then the Thais had been unhappy about this and occasionally raised the issue with small skirmishes between the border police. This time it blew up into open conflict with deaths on both sides. Now artillery and fighter bombers are being used and the conflict is escalating into an open war.
Who is the real culprit behind this escalation? The Thais or the Cambodians? A better way to understand the real troublemaker is to ask, who is the beneficiary of this conflict or who would want to see the Thais and Cambodians fighting in an open war, and destroying the peace in SE Asia?
Some Asean people are easily bribed by provocateurs to want to go to war for personal benefits instead of the interests of the nation and people. The Thai and Cambodian people must not be misled and easily aroused to go against each other and create another Ukraine in the region. War is only good for the warmongering tribes, the savages. Asean people should be sensible and remain calm in the face of such provocation and not become pawns of foreign powers.
In such a war, the people that died would be Thais and Cambodians. Their economy and lives would be adversedly affected while the mastermind would be laughing from afar and would come in to offer arms for sale to profit from the war.
Stop being silly and go back to the negotiating table and talk. ASEAN now has something to be busy about, something to meddle with other than the internal affairs of Myanmar. This is a matter that ASEAN must take an active role to avoid a war between its members.
Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia and China's invasion of Vietnam was only 45 years ago leh. Not counting the on-off standoff at the Sino Viet border after that.
ReplyDeleteIf you dig deeper, the story if all about creating time bombs to be executed at the appropriate time. For Thailand and Cambodia, it was the French that created the border issue between the two states without resolving them when they leave.
ReplyDeleteI had to be introduced to a little bit of history behind this conflict by Carl Zha, but this conflict was an old issue that had already led to earlier clashes in 2008 and 2011.
