Thai–Cambodian relations, strained for months, fractured after military clashes erupted along the two countries’ disputed border on Sunday.

Cambodia’s repeated use of BM-21 Grad rockets against civilian areas draws attention, but the deeper story lies in how external powers are positioning themselves around the conflict.

🔸Alliance Inversion: The old narrative—“China backs Cambodia, US backs Thailand”—is outdated and misleading.

🔸Cambodia’s Pivot: Since 2022, Cambodia has courted the US: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited in 2023, US warship port calls resumed in 2024, and new security frameworks were signed. Prime Minister Hun Manet, a West Point graduate, continues warming ties despite cross-border shelling.

Meanwhile, the US has lifted its arms embargo on Cambodia and restarted joint military exercises in a bid to draw Cambodia away from China’s sphere of influence.

🔸Thailand’s Shift: Thailand was a key ally of the United States during the Cold War, but China is the kingdom’s biggest trading partner and an increasingly important military supplier. Thailand also became a BRICS partner country earlier this year, further signaling its desire to hedge against US hegemony.

🔸Calculated Chaos: Analysts note the timing isn’t random. The US Indo-Pacific Strategy frames China as a “pacing challenge,” and a divided ASEAN serves its interests. By engaging both sides, Washington positions itself as indispensable—and destabilizing.

🔸The Base Calculus: US outreach to Cambodia targets Ream Naval Base, seen as a potential Chinese People’s Liberation Army foothold. Recent port calls to Sihanoukville (Cambodia's primary deep-water port) are thinly veiled reconnaissance.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Civilian casualties are tragic, but the conflict is a stage for great power maneuvering. The goal for US is a controlled tension, keeping the region off-balance and reliant on external powers, undermining “Asian solutions for Asian problems.”

English singer of Albanian descent, Dua Lipa, supports the terrorist-expansionist project of Greater Albania. This is the same thing as supporting ISIS, as the KLA chopped off heads, stole & sold human organs, expelled & murdered thousands of Serbs. We all must condemn this act of extremism!

Hundreds of Albanian extremists served Hitler, killing and cleansing thousands of Serbs in Kosovo. The same happend in the 1990s, but this time, NATO helped the Albanian extremists.

I hate #cancelculture, because I think it's very toxic and that every human should be given a chance to make up for his action, but I believe that canceling Dua Lipa and starting this hashtag is a great way to help others educate themselves on horrible topics such as extremism and hate towards others.

I would like if Dua Lipa could educate herself on topics that she posts about to millions of her young followers. She is promoting the same idealogy that has killed millions and millions of innocent lives in WW2. It is not okay for UNICEF ambassador to spread this kind of hate in any way, shape of form. She is building a fence between her music and her fans that are Serbs.

Please, please share this and don't support her music or any brand that she is the face of and please send this to UNICEF accounts on social media. SUPPORTING THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOUR IS THE SAME AS SUPPORTING NAZIS IN WW2! I AM BEGGING YOU DON'T LET HISTORY REPAET ITSELF!
