Re: News from the Far East
Any thoughts on Thailand v Cambodia. Seems like the scale of the fighting is so far larger than the last escalation many years ago. Wonder if both sides are just trying to take advantage of the lack of US leadership to 'fix' the border without the risk of upsetting the US.
I imagine the PRC will insert itself on Cambodia's behalf (diplomatically not militarily) as Thailand is too close to the US to allow it to get a one up on Cambodia.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
