Thailand has destroyed a huge statue of a Hindu Monkey god (demon).
This is the way.

Thai soldiers who stormed into the homes of Cambodian refugees confiscated property from Cambodian residents, including motorbikes, bicycles, rice-plowing machines, etc.

Thai strikes are now being reported far inside Cambodia.

On Thursday, a Thai F-16 reportedly struck an army base near Krong Preah Vihear, roughly 63 km from the nearest Thai border point. Panic followed. Schools, markets, shops, and fuel stations closed, and families began leaving the city.

Local residents described hearing multiple explosions with no warning. Authorities advised people living near military positions to evacuate. One soldier was reported injured.

Additional Thai strikes were reported the same day in Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey provinces, with locations estimated at 42 km or more inside Cambodian territory. The Interior Ministry says shelling and air strikes have damaged civilian and public infrastructure as deep as 80 to 90 km inland.

“We are grateful that a ceasefire, brokered by US President Donald Trump, effectively halted armed clashes that had caused deaths, injuries and destructions, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands innocent civilians,” he said. The ceasefire remains fragile.  He expressed concern over the forced eviction of Cambodian civilians and threats to evict hundreds more from the lands they have lived on for decades.  “As recently as this morning, there was an unprovoked attack near a sensitive site, following an allegation that our forces had opened fire first,” he said, underscoring that Cambodia’s troops had not - and had even refrained from any retaliatory action, as Cambodia is committed to peace.  He reaffirmed calls for dialogue and the peaceful settlement of all outstanding issues, urging strict and sincere adherence to the agreed terms of the ceasefire."

Is this defensive operation that they claimed?
The dispute areas did not include the one in the video. How would Thai army justify their expansion of military operations to other areas? This area has been clearly ruled as Cambodian sovereignty at least on the latest account 2013 by ICJ ruling. Think about it!

Maly Socheata, defence ministry spokesperson, categorically dismissed the “baseless” allegations against Cambodia regarding the incident. “Cambodia maintains its firm stance that it has not and will not use or plant any new landmines. Cambodia is a proud state party to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, which it ratified in 1999, and has been recognised by the international community for its demining efforts at home and abroad,” she said, during an August 12 press briefing.https://t.co/9Om1akLiMQ

Many policy research organizations tout their "open-source expertise," promising impartial, clear-eyed insights. Yet, a growing issue undermines this: some lean on unnamed sources to push narratives while cloaked in academic credibility. This betrays the transparency open-source intelligence requires, leaving claims unverified and eroding trust.

This is especially alarming in conflict analysis, where reports can sway public opinion and shape policy. Sleek studies packed with data and imagery may seem rigorous, but if they rest on hidden or shaky sources, they risk fueling one-sided agendas. The problem deepens when analysts are nationals of a country involved in the conflict. Their personal or cultural ties can introduce subtle biases, consciously or not, further clouding objectivity and amplifying the risk of skewed narratives.

By selectively citing unverifiable sources, think tanks craft compelling stories while evading scrutiny, especially when sources themselves carry biases. This practice exploits trust in scholarly work. Organizations present themselves as neutral, but relying on secret or biased sources can produce analysis that quietly serves geopolitical aims. If bold claims about conflicts lack transparent sources, the line between research and propaganda fades.

The fix is simple but demanding: use verifiable sources, share clear methods, and own up to limitations. Think tanks must choose between the convenience of hidden sources and genuine credibility. When analysis claims expertise but conceals its roots—or is shaped by an analyst’s ties to a conflict—it serves neither truth nor peace, only those who profit from selective narratives dressed as scholarship.

What if the truth is otherwise?
Lookat Khaosod English, The Nation, and Thai PBS. How many minutes not hours they release news covering wide array of things but echoing Thai army. Look at Cambodia’s news coverage. Look at how Thai army brought media to the observation tours by diplomatic corps and military attaché. Arounf 150 media people from so many news outlets especially international news. Why? Everyone knows they base there. Look at how CNA firsthand conducted interview with Thai foreign spokesperson. The interviewer was Thai national who is CNA reporter. Only three days later that CNA sent another Singaporean reporter to cover the news on affected sites. Claiming this or that doesn’t mean it. Thailand has dominated info space and at least governments of many countries know it if not people.

THE REAL STORY

Whilst there have been carefully constructed NARRATIVES by government bodies and press agencies in Thailand and whilst the Cambodian side of the story has been SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERREPORTED, the two pictures below are worth more than a million words.

Simultaneously - two large national gatherings taking place - one in Phnom Penh and one in Bangkok.

In Phnom Penh, A PEACE WALK fully endorsed by the Royal Government of Cambodia, to further amplify Cambodia's absolute commitment to peace, dialogue and stability that the citizens so desire and deserve.

In Bangkok, a march of ultranationalists aimed at TOPPLING the Thai government and giving increased power to the Thai military.

Get the undeniable facts straight. Cambodia HAS NOT INITIATED nor PROLONGED this conflict.

Those that have initiated and prolonged this conflict need to be held accountable.

AND CAMBODIA, WHO HAS SOUGHT PEACEFUL RESOLUTION AND THIRD PARTY MEDIATION NEEDS TO BE HEARD AND SUPPORTED.
