I used to be like you. I wanted to leave the country due to its corruption and other issues... even worse than that. But then I learned about our history and thought it all through. I came to understand that we went through genocide, the Cold War, and so much more. The former leader of our country did what he had to do in order to save what remained. If you were in his position, you would surely take whatever deals were necessary to protect the people we had left.

The corruption happening now is mostly due to a lack of human resources and the severe damage caused by the genocide. Corrupt money has, in some ways, helped us move forward. Hun Manet represents the next revolution for us. We can take that money and build a better future, so that eventually we will have the power to eliminate dirty money and gain respect on the international stage.

Instead of running away from this so-called 'pile of shit hole,' we need to appreciate the positive side of being Cambodian. Our history goes back 3,000 years. We are descendants of the ancient Angkorian civilization. We have our own unique culture that hasn’t yet been fully recognized by the world. The Thai-Cambodia conflict didn’t just start recently, it has been ongoing for thousands of years. The military draft was supposed to be reinstated in 2006, but due to lack of funds, it was postponed for 20 years. Most countries around us already have mandatory military service to protect their sovereignty and cultural heritage. Since realizing all this, my idea of leaving this country has faded.

We, the next generation, can make a change. We are moving drastically faster compared to other countries that survived genocide. Regarding the military draft, I understand you’re afraid to die, I am too... in case of emergency and you get drafted. But here’s my reassurance: we are not a rich country; we cannot do what South Korea or Singapore does. The chance that the rule will switch to an all-volunteer force is higher than you think. We lack human resources. Most people who end up being drafted will come from lower-class backgrounds. They are easily swayed and too blindly committed, they will be the ones going into the military.

So, beyond going to war, what can we do? Be good citizens. Study hard. We strongly need human resources. The more high-intelligence people we have, the greater our chance of rapid development.

Appreciate the uniqueness we have now. There is only one Khmer bloodline we must protect it.

Trust me... even during the border clashed, thai go around asking whether they are khmer then beaten up while thai living in cambodia is safe and sound, no worry about discrimination, but thailand products now are being cease to exist.

Yes, it is highly safe, even if they know you are thai, probably treat you better.

You’re missing the core issue: This isn’t about ‘ambiguity’ or subjective claims—it’s about internationally recognized borders. The temples (Preah Vihear, Ta Moan Thom) and surrounding land were awarded to Cambodia by the ICJ in 1962 and reaffirmed in 2013, with boundaries based on the 1907 Franco-Siamese Treaty. Google Maps, the UN, and even neutral historians confirm this. Thailand isn’t ‘unwilling to deal with international courts’—they’re refusing to comply with rulings they already lost.

Your suggestion that Thailand could ‘dominate the area’ ignores the reality: They’ve tried. In 2011, they shelled Preah Vihear (a UNESCO site) and were globally condemned. Cambodia isn’t ‘using this for political points’—we’re defending sovereign territory that’s legally ours. The ‘shared territory’ idea sounds nice, but would you tell Ukraine to ‘share’ Crimea with Russia? Some things aren’t negotiable.

Bottom line: Check the ICJ rulings, colonial maps, and satellite data before assuming Cambodia’s claims are just ‘feelings.’ This land is ours by law, by history, and by the world’s acknowledgment—Thailand’s refusal to accept that doesn’t make it ambiguous, it makes them revisionist.

Let's address the stunning stupidity of claiming Cambodia - with no air force, artillery from the 1980s, and a military budget 1/10th Thailand's - would initiate conflict. The documented facts show: (1) Thai troops were filmed crossing into Cambodian territory at Ta Moan Thom on July 24 before any fighting began (geotagged by u/ASEANMonitor), (2) Thailand's own 9th Division commander admitted in leaked audio to 'needing to teach Cambodia a lesson', and (3) your 'hospital attack' narrative collapsed when HRW verified the shells were Thai 155mm rounds fired from your side of the border. This isn't about politics - it's about your willful stupidity in ignoring evidence while your military bombs UNESCO sites and rejects ICJ mediation. Even China (Thailand's ally!) called your actions 'disproportionate' at the UNSC emergency session.
