Thailand-Cambodia Border Clashes Force Mass Evacuations

Narrative B

Thailand's military escalation represents clear aggression against a smaller neighbor that had already achieved a favorable ceasefire. Cambodia has no incentive to violate peace agreements that benefited the country, while Thailand's unpopular truce and upcoming elections create obvious political pressure to restart conflict. Thai F-16 strikes on Cambodian territory and attacks on cultural sites like Ta Krabei Temple expose Bangkok's true territorial ambitions.
