My beloved 7:10AM!

I am undeniably agreed with you that we Khmer always have militarily weaker than Siam since the fall of Angkor, but I am undoubtedly believing that we Khmer will fight with Siam till the last blood dripping on our beloved motherland.

We are not weaker than the siam.

The siam think that if a war happens they will finish us in 2-3 months, because they relied on they military hardware.

The reality is that this war will last years, and this will prompt all the Khmer in Thailand to rebel against them also. Don't forget we have our brother Khmer Krom.

If they are crazy enough to start a war then good luck to them.

All their military deployment is just show off.

So do not be impress by their equipment.

We can win jungle battles, we have experience. Thais don't. When it could come to that, we have a great chance of winning any battle.

Oh my gawddddddd!!! That Buddhist monk is STUPID and speak falsely of the facts of the border treaties. Hahah. This is what I transcribed of the spoken words of that stupid Thai monk: "We represent the people's voice. It's the people's will that the old border treaties must be recognized. These treaties give this territory and this temple to Thailand, and Thailand alone."

STUPID monk, thou shall not make false statement and bear false witness, you stupid Thai. Hahhaha. Why do you think the WORLD COURT awarded not just the temple but the surrounding area itself to Cambodia for??? YOU STUPID Thai monk. Somebody need to shoot that stupid Thai monk in mouth with a sling shot for making false statement against the Khmer people and their legal property. Hahahha. By the way I am a Buddhist, but I despite any Thai monk(ey)s who walk around naked in their saffron robe and pretending to be a truth-talking saint. What a fake azzed monkey. Hhaha.

It's sad that the Thai government, the UN and Singapore turn this standoff into a joke.

Because the threat of war is very real. They should read this article:

I'm not so sure that this words of you will reach the commanders of these young men whom has not been having a good foods or water to drink. I am agreeing with you that khmer's blood will spill until the last drop, but don't forget about the Viets they are waiting for this moment to happen. I personally should think that the UNESCO whom drawn these issue should invite all the UN members to support the decission of what out come so that we don't have to go and get kill. I used to fight, catching malaria and cold when rainning season come and I am sick of fighting. I was young like those khmer soldiers once I feel what they are feeling, I just wish everyone hold their anger and think of how much this would affect the khmer childrens and women when all of those soldiers not returning home.

Don't be so optimistic and don't count on khmers in THAILAND or anywhere else to come to our side.For khmers to win this battle,khmers have to have military superiority ,and at this moment ,khmers did not.This is a conflict between two countries.If our military is strong,THAI WOULD NOT DARE TO OCCUPY OUR SOIL EVER.Hun Sen understood that very well, that's why he won't repel the enemy by force and painfully go for diplomatic channel to solve the crisis .As for combat experiences in jungle warfare,oh! forget about that,it has been 20 years ago.Time had changed.Jungle warfare is nothing but an attack here and there to disrupt, when facing with overwhelm forces ,jungle war did not last ,and usually the host country is destroyed.
Khmer military or RCFA somehow was not always consider NATIONAL ARMED FORCES but rather CPP'S gard.The Army sometime was used to protect illegal logging or oppress unarmed civilians or land grabbing etc....

Khmers have a long way to go brother....

Hun Sen's " flying tigers" are redoutable soldiers. Hun sen will send them, well dressed and equipped, to Preah Vihear. He also will send there his many thousands Phkay Chor, Phkay businesmen and his many thousands parasite advisors.
What Kun Kim did there! Just a show!

You sound like a soldier who deserted its battalion.

If you really know wars, you should know that is not by pounding the enemy day and night with heavy artillery, that you make them disappears. If this is the case the KR would be wipe out by the American in no time.

See what happens if they still occupy Preah Vihear after all the talks have been exhausted.

I'm not sure you are my Khmer brother...

Do you guys noticed how both sides confronted each other right next to the Temple? That shows a lot of care from both sides whether or not the temple could be destroyed, right?

If that MONKEY represent the people's voice what is THAI government represent?

It is the tough decision for Cambodians and the government to have war with thailand.Our home have burned many times from the exterior and interior which are the factors making Cambodia weak to thailand.thailand is well known as an opportunism country in south east Asia.As many Cambodian know that this conflict isn't an incidence,it is a well plan between top royal king and the top leader of the current gov.PM Thaksin was not trusted look and not capable to tackle this plan so he outed.The plan is simple:the right hand cold and the left hand hot,with their two hands they can stir up and open the old wound for Cambodia as they did before when Khmer Empire confronted with the heavily flood at Angkor Wat basin and at one time that Khmer people had chaos at LONGWEK city.
Now again they know that they going to gain some benefits from Cambodia that's why they have to do something while their military are better equipped than Cambodia,secondly Cambodia is in trouble with illegal vietnams who are becarefully watching Cambodia moves flowing into its territory so they have more chances to collect the harvest.
The only way we win the fight we must unite with brothers and sisters in KKK and Khmer SURIN.

HUN SEN should send those GEnerals and all his parasites advisers to the battle fields now.Cambodia was well known to have more Generals than VIETNAM and THAILAND combine.It's going to be a hell of fight, but don't count on them yet cuz some of them are pig butchers( chen kap chrouk).

Keep in mind that Thailand reserved the right to reopen the case. And the next time they go up to ICJ, all Nazi treaties will be wipe out by amendments, and they will win and they will take back everything, including everything that is developed in the lands.

You all need to get real. Do all khmer people are living in cambodia now afrait of thai or our mafia government hun sen?. From what I know most of our khmer people afrait of hun sen more than thai. hun sen past is well know of killing khmer people with their hand tie to the back. In his current mafia government, he intimedate, threat and murder any khmer who dare to oppose him. He even dare to insult the u.n in cambodia. I'm khmer and I love my country dearly but I hate the monkey leader of our country. If you all dare to fight and go to war with thai, you will end up dying for nothing. If you see the cartoon of Mr. bun heang the gift of hun sen to our lovely soldiers. The cartoon can tell more than I write here. Don't be fool by the monkey and murderer. Hun Sen only dare to kill khmers. He's so scared and afrait to fight with thai because if he lose he will become sadam hun sen. If you read the opinions of the 5 permenent u.n security councel 4 agree with thai and only one France agree with the monkey governmentphnom penh. The u.n don't want to help the monkey any more they have enough of them.

Dumb ass when you are sober then you can paste comment.

Your government is scared to meet the UN, don't even think of the ICJ.

You want to see all others treaty invalidated, easy just don't respect 1907 Treaty and step into Cambodia territory, see what will happen to your country.

Feel free to go back to ICJ, if they want to see your government's face.

Obviously you really have no knowledge at all for writing such stupidity.

Just keep you troops station on Cambodia soil after all the talks are over.

You'll see if Cambodia is really scared of Thailand.

This is a good example of Thaicong Buddhist militant monk!

These Thaicong Buddhist militant monks are trained to kill, to rape, and to steal from Khmer people!

But I suggest these fucken Thaicong Buddhist militant monks don't even try to do on the Khmer people again because they can get kill for doing it!

Just give the monk a gun so he can fight along with the Thai troops.
