🍝 Today's Sitdown: Thailand accuses Cambodia of violating hours-old ceasefire

🍝 THE DAILY SITDOWN 🍝 Where News Gets Made... Tony Style

Thailand accuses Cambodia of violating hours-old ceasefire

TONY SAYS:

So, listen to this horseshit. Thailand and Cambodia, right? Two shitholes halfway around the world, shooting at each other like a couple of guidos at a wedding. Thirty-three people dead, thousands displaced – sounds like a family reunion in my neighborhood, only with less gabagool and more… well, you get the picture.

They finally agreed to a ceasefire Monday night. A ceasefire, can you believe it? Like these guys are gonna suddenly decide to put down their AK-47s and play a friendly game of bocce ball. Fuggedaboutit.

The Thais claim they stopped firing, but the Cambodians kept shooting. Multiple locations, they say. Sounds like a fuckin’ drive-by, only with bigger guns and less… uh… personal. The Cambodians, naturally, deny everything. These guys are about as reliable as a two-dollar bill, you know? Always some kind of “misunderstanding.”

The meeting between the local commanders? Postponed twice. Probably because they’re too busy figuring out which side gets the best loot from the whole mess. You know, the spoils of war, right? This ain't no charity drive.

The whole thing started in May over some stupid border dispute. A century-old feud? Jesus, that's longer than some of my marriages. It escalated last week when some Thai soldiers stepped on a landmine. Serves 'em right, maybe they shoulda paid more attention where they were stepping. Then, things went full-blown crazy. Rockets flying, air strikes... the whole nine yards.

And Hun Manet, the Cambodian Prime Minister, had the balls to say Tuesday morning that things were "easing." Easing? The guy’s either blind, stupid or both. Or maybe he's just good at lying. Which, let's be honest, is a valuable skill in any line of work. I've seen guys get away with murder, literally, because of their lying skills.

This whole thing is a mess. A goddamn international clusterfuck. These guys are arguing over dirt, for chrissakes. I mean, I’ve seen guys fight over a freakin’ parking space in front of Satriale’s, but this… this is next level. It's like a bunch of kids squabbling over a goddamn cookie. Except the cookie is a piece of land, and the kids are using artillery.

They agreed to pull back their armies, get some kind of independent monitoring… yeah, right. Like that’s gonna happen. You think these guys are gonna let some neutral observer tell them what to do? Fuggedaboutit. These are politicians and generals we're talking about, not Boy Scouts.

The whole thing reminds me of that time Paulie Walnuts tried to mediate a dispute between two guys over a stolen shipment of… well, let's just say it wasn't Girl Scout cookies. It didn't end well. Let's just say there was a lot of… unnecessary cleanup. So yeah, this Thailand-Cambodia thing? I’m not holding my breath for a peaceful resolution. I’m putting my money on more bloodshed. Capisce?
