If you haven’t seen the #JohnPilger #documentaries about #Cambodia & how the #USgovernment is why #PolPot #KhmerRouge gained & retained power - please watch them.
It’s important #geopolitical #history.
It was one of the worst #genocide atrocities in modern human history. Cambodians were #dehumanized like Vietnamese were. Both sovereign nations suffered many years of embargoes by US & their Western allies, along with with Cold War pals back then - China. US was still angry & bitter about losing their imperialist invasion in Vietnam & they opted to punish Cambodia, Vietnam & Laos - they are really sore losers.
As you watch these #documentary films - please try to pay attention to how US officials haven’t really changed their scripts in decades. They use similar lies/political deflective/avoidance verbal dances to this day. In 2024, they’re talking about Arabs like they used to talk about Cambodians, Vietnamese & Laotians - like none of us are human beings. It’s just collateral damage when a million or more POC folks, far from Western worlds, are mass murdered for political power games.

Despite some disagreements over a few issues since the 70s - Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia peoples have retained close ties to this day. After Vietnamese helped Cambodians destroy Khmer Rouge genocide & extreme perversion of Maoist cult style of forced communism - US & their old Cold War BFFs, China - carried out a long bullying campaign against Cambodia because of Vietnamese helping them.
Vietnam helped Cambodia when no one else was stepping up against the USA bullies/geopolitical power games. US bullied other nations & the UN into sanctions. Effectively stopping humanitarian supplies from getting in. Vietnam sent many trucks of food & humanitarian supplies - despite suffering post US war invasion & under sanctions too.
My parents & our family there (in Vietnam) still remember donating rice, preserved vegetables & salted fish to help the Cambodians suffering.
