00:00While one Asian conflict just ended, another region is gearing up for something much bigger.
00:05Thailand and Cambodia just signed a ceasefire after weeks of deadly border fighting that killed over 100 people and displaced half a million civilians.
00:13The agreement took effect Saturday, ending 20 days of intense clashes over their disputed border.
00:20But here's the twist. While Southeast Asia finds peace, North Korea is doing the exact opposite.
00:25Kim Jong-un just ordered a massive expansion of missile production for 2026, demanding new munitions plants and ramped-up weapons manufacturing.
00:34This isn't just about regional politics. North Korea's already sending troops and weapons to Russia for the Ukraine war, and now they're doubling down on military build-up.
00:43Meanwhile, that Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire experts are calling it fragile at best, so we've got temporary peace in one corner of Asia and an arms race heating up in another.
00:52The question isn't whether these tensions will affect global security. It's when and how much.
00:57Stay informed, because what happens in Asia doesn't stay in Asia.
