Warum wagen die 💚 #Khmer in der #Graichenclan Affäre nicht die Flucht nach vorne? Warum mauern sie immer weiter und sorgen dafür, dass selbst Ihre treuesten Medienvertreter gegen sie berichten müssen?

Sind die dumm oder politisch völlig unbewandert? Sicher nicht!

Ein 🧵. 1/
Ein Blick auf die vergangenen Wahlergebnisse gibt einen ersten Aufschluss: Eigentlich sind die 💚 #Khmer eine < 10% Partei.

Bei der #BTW22 hätten Sie jedoch beinahe über 20% erreicht, wenn nicht @ABaerbock im letzten Augenblick geplatzt hätte. 2/ Image
Aber wie haben Sie es geschafft, ihr Thema so präsent in den Medien zu halten? Immer die passenden Kennzahlen zur Hand, immer passende Beispiele im Rücken und immer positiv medial geframt. 3/

As per the extracts from the works of French Sinologist Paul Pelliot who researched on Indo China history, there exists a strong historical link between India and the Hindu Kingdom of Khmer in Funan (present day Cambodia).
The research says about Hun-t’ien (Indian name Kaundinya) whom Indian legend regard was a great Brahmin who received his spear from Asvatthaman (Aswathama), son of Drona, teacher of the Pandavas in the epic Mahabharata.

#LanguageTrivia: A common catchphrase in English language for speech or text being indecipherable to a person is - "It's all Greek to me!" [1/n]
The genesis of this phrase is often cited as dating back to 1599 when Shakespeare's Casca conspiring against Julius Caesar said, “Those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads, but, for mine own part, it was Greek to me.” [2/n]
However, prior to its usage by Shakespeare, English poet Gascoigne, circa 1566, while interpreting an Italian comedy into english wrote, "This geare (talk) is Greeke to me; either it hangs not well together, or I am very dull of understanding: speak plaine, I pray you.” [3/n]
