@kingbilgames Vietnam wasn't so innocent either. You have to take time to research the information on why this event happened. The US president was just a liar- the bombing that crashed the govt was illegal because Nixon had no such right to do so. The congress did, and they didn't even know what he did.
@lalacakez01 I have research it a lot, thank you. Vietnam was not purely innocent, indeed, however, it did liberate Kampuchea from the Khmer Rouge and withdrew just before the withdrawal deadline they set. And people should not forget the food and supplies it gave the Khmer people when almost every other country refused to. If the Vietnam was the USA, the world would celebrate them as liberators more than they do. I agree with your points entirely about Nixon, though.
@kingbilgames Vietnam didn't give us anything. Most of the people fled to camps in Siam. If you look at it the Vietnamese would not have invaded Cambodia if the Khmer Rouge did not try to start a revolution against them. Actually the whole idea started when Nixon falsely believed there was Vietcong in our land and started bombing the sh*t out of the country side and everyone ran to the city. Khmer Rouge would not have power if this did not happen.
Because apparently it's worse than the normal KR torture:
"We were trained how to whip the prisoners with the sticks, on how to electrocute, (and) how to use the plastic bag to suffocate them," Prak Khan said. "(A guard) took the baby from the mother and he dropped the baby from the upper floor to the ground and later on I was ordered to bury that dead baby."
Gang Stalking really does go on. Read John Marks's "The Search for the Manchrian Candidate." U can check out my own situation on Google group alt.security.espionage...peace out...
so everyone wants american intervention, but then when that intervention doesnt go perfect people are gonna say "why doesnt america just mind its own fuckin business?" ive heard thjis same argument a lot. so my friends and family are supposed to police the world, and then take peoples shit when mistakes are made. how bout everyone fight there own battles and leave us out of it.
Actually, even the very last of the US soldiers who died in the so-called Vietnam War died while fighting the KR! (The "Mayaguez Incident" in May 1975 - 18 Marines were KIA or captured and murdered.)
US could spend billions and send thousands of their own soldiers to die in the battle field had Cambodia was rich in oil reserves, unfortunately that wasn't the case... like what Father Francois Ponchaud said, "No one defends human rights, governments are cold beasts looking out for their own interests..."
@770827 Dude, the Americans dropped more bombs on Cambodia than not only on Iraq, but more than on Germany during WW2! And thousands of American pilots, ground troops and special forces were killed or wounded there, or are still missing. What now? Fucking educate yourself.
Btw: there was no "rich oil reserves" in Germany and Japan (nor in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan... Laos, Grenada, Somalia, Panama, Haiti, Liberia, etc. etc.)
@STATiSofVITALETHICS It was part of the newfound US-ChiCom alliance against the Soviets. The ChiComs championed the KR despite the ongoing gennocide against the Chinese ethnic minority there.
@STATiSofVITALETHICS There were tens of thousands ChiCom advisors in Pol Pot's Cambodia, at the same time the ethnic Chinese minority population was reduced by half (from about 430,000 in 1975). Chinese language and culture were of course banned, except for those advisors, called "new Chinese".
For anyone who is interested, Christopher Hitchens eloquently writes at great length about how egomaniacal and insidious Henry Kissinger was in his book "The Trial of Henry Kissinger." He and Amanpour nail the fact that the U.S. supported the Khmer Rouge as a counterweight to Vietnam.
anyone that kill their own kind is from the influence of demonic witchcraft, the world don't know that satan is dethrone strip off his power of death/sickness/poverty by the King of kings, thanks
@Paulish5350 I don't think the purpose of this video was about the woman's pronunciation of Khmer Rouge. At least when she pronounces Khmer, it is in 1 syllable. Cambodians pronounce USA, China, Canada different from it's native tongue.
How ironic, U.S. dislike the Khmer Rouge but supported them to fight against the North Vietnamese, but it was the North Vietnamese that freed the citizens of Cambodia from the mass killing and genocide. Then U.S. still vote for these fuckers to rule Cambodia because we dislike the other group because they were being supported by Soviets and Vietnamese. Looks like one day we'll have to clean our own shit again like what we did with Saddam and Afghanistan.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. So thought America about the Khmer Rouge. They kept supporting them until 1993. The banner of Pol Pot remained at the UN office in New York, even after 1979. The capitalist world never accepted the People's Republic of Kampuchea which was installed by Vietnam in 1979.
Americans have supported that racist regime. They are sharing the blame together with all those leftists who supported Mao and Pol Pot.

AN IDEAL STRONGEST FORM OF DEMOCRACY INCLUDED (See Subchapter 3.1.2.1, Chapter 3, of Part One.).
One of the rare cases of collusion between Kissinger and Chomsky. One did not care, the other wrote again and again the genocide was just western propaganda. To this day, both are unapologetic for their criminal behaviour.
The corruption goes so deep by all the countries involved. The U.S. got beat pretty bad in Vietnam and ran with their tails between their legs out of Asia. But know this, as any country, the citizens do not always support the gov't. Right now in the North American States the people want the current regime out, they are evil and corrupt and have taken over the U.S.. Can see how the people of Cambodia were awestruck, just blank, wondering how this is happening.
Vietnam support the new government in Cambodia not the Khmer Rouge. Vietnam invade Cambodia in 1978 is because the Khmer Rouge tread over to VN border and cause harm to the Vietnamese people (but I'm sure their is more to that). China was the one that support the Khmer Rouge.
@santacluas666 there was a lot of tension in former indochina. Vietnam and Laos were allied and tied to USSR, whether Cambodia was tied to China and to the US. Thailand also behaved as an american satellite state that period of time, supporting the Khmer Rouge. After the fracture within the Communist block between China and USSR, China was planning a future use for the Khmer Rouge to help overthrowing Vietnam, and that's one of the first reason they invaded, and maybe saved Cambodia.
When you but the khmer rouge into trial, it really doesnt help...... right now everything is so confuse and corrupted. If the world REALLY want to find out about the khmer rouge you have to know who created the khmer rouge. Pol Pot and Sinouk was just a puppet for the real murders. Please people do research and know who was behind the khmer rouge. Some Countries wants to eliminate Srok Khmer and they made us killed each other so we can think it was Khmer vs Khmer.
I'm loving the comments from various right-wingers and racists on here who are completely incensed that a black person dared to suggest the Atlantic Slave Trade was a genocide (it was). The estimated human toll stands at about 8 million people (from Atlantic traders ALONE, not Arabs or Africans) and I don't even want to imagine how they died. Anybody who pretends the institutions responsible for this have nothing to be sorry for are just as bad as holocaust deniers and communist apologists.
@NotHomelessAnymore: Where do you get your statistics from Louis Farrakhan? I love the OFF TOPIC COMMENTS left here by communist drones that have NOTHING to do with this video! The race card is something you play when you have nothing to offer in the market place of ideas. Your flimsy attempt to intimidate is laughable, fuck you and your white guilt!
@espada9 Where do you get your self-pity from? The cell you shared with Adolf Hitler in his formative years? On the contrary, fuck your paranoid delusions and outlandish conclusions you draw about my political beliefs just because I mentioned some important historical facts and badmouthed a few racists on YouTube. ZOMFG guys, he called me a racist. He is worse than the Stasi.
@espada9 Racists feel censored and put upon when their racism is pointed out to them. You describe my challenges to racist comments on here as 'intimidation'. Either way, I've obviously hit a nerve, haven't I? And what would anticommunist George Orwell think of trite phrases like the 'marketplace of ideas', let alone how hostile you are to people whose opinions differ from your own? Please consider killing yourself. You are true internet vermin.
@something9313 This documentary inadvertently proves president Carter's excessive idealism in foreign policy. He had to make some rather unpalatable decisions. Khmer Rouge's main patron (China) only withdrew its support for the group only after the Cambodian government was able to reassure China that it won't be too pro-Vietnamese.
@something9313 Thanks for clarifying your view of Chomasy. His denial of the Cambodian genocide was not his finest hour. I agree w/ you that Lon Nol was the wrong man for the task of fighting the Khmer Rouge. He was too corrupt and incompetent, and he assumed that the US backing will always be automatic, not seeing the change in mood in the US regarding SE Asia. He wasn't installed by the US, and blaming the US for the subsequent genocide cannot be sustained by historical evidence.
You must be a Noam Chomsky groupie.... Your talking points are familiar to me (I've encountered them before). On one hand, you complain about the USA bombing the Khmer Rouge, then you complain they didn't bomb them enough. Not much of a logic, is it? And your last sentence is a non-sequitur.
@VintageJunior bullshit, the us cannot be the vanguard of your blame. Blame this fucker first, he was born was he not? Pol Pot would have lived whether Nixon ran Vietnam or some kingdom?
@BubbIeThy r u retarted black ops are only about secret missions between the U.S govt. and the U.S.S.R and part of the story is set in vietnam and cuba, ain't nothin is mention about khmer rouges.
@MegaXboxKing No im not, Are you retarded? I posted this BEFORE black ops came out.. And i did research a long time ago and it said there were Khmer Rouges involved but not MAINLY about them
Why put the Khmer Rouge on trial? Everyone knows the leadership, just kill them. Don't give me that crap about them being old men. And I don't care if it's hypocritical. Fuck 'em.
Carter seems to be OK with genocide. His lack of response to Cambodia reminds me of his direct involvement in the genocide of the East Timorians. It's sad how a few men can !@$# it up for the rest of us.
The Khmer Rouge did exactly the same thing as Ulyanov and Djugashvili did in Russia and Mao in China. Millions dead for a political philosophy that does not work, for anyone, anytime. All of these lands were better off with their hereditary kings, emperors and tsars but it took 75+ years for most people to figure this out. Very sad that the US bought into the Khmer Rouge garbage just to spite Vietnam, which in this case actually helped out.
I like how CNN tries to get a good dig at Kissinger, even though there was absolutely NOTHING he could do by 1975 thanks to the Cooper-Church Amendment. I also like how they describe brutal torture, and they add, "even waterboarded!" as though that was the worst thing that happened. I'd rather be waterboarded than have my had cut off. Gotta love the liberal media.
but somehow were absolved by their opportunist switch to the other Communist faction. The people of Cambodia were victims of Communism. American and the Western world were fighting the Cold War against Communism but were not able to save them.
After some fighting and tension along the border began, and Vietnam appeared to be the stronger side, some leading members of the Khmer Rouge decided to switch sides and join-up with the Vietnamese forces with the agreement that they would be installed as part of the new Pro-Vietnamese government in Cambodia. These people, including future Prime Minister Hun Sen, were leaders in the Khmer Rouge who oversaw the crimes against humanity that were perpetrated against the Cambodian people,
Vietnam War was seen as a failure, and antiwar activists rallied against American intervention, some even going as far as calling Communists takeovers of Vietnam and Cambodia the liberation of Southeast Asia.
Finally, the government installed by Vietnam included key Khmer Rouge figures. The fighting between Vietnam and Cambodia was a direct result of the Sino-Soviet split of the Communist movement. Vietnam sided with the Soviet Union whereas the Khmer Rouge sided with China.
force that led the attack into the heart of Cambodia and Phnom Penh and turned power over to the Khmer Rouge.
Second, there were American leaders who expressed a desire to help the people of Cambodia against the Khmer Rouge. President Ford warned of "horror and tragedy" if Cambodia was abandoned to the Khmer Rouge and pleaded with Congress to supply the embattled government of Lon Nol (which was pro-independence, anti-communist, and American friendly). But, Congress refused because the
This report is effective in exposing some of the atrocities that occurred under the Khmer Rouge but misses some very important relationships between the actors.
First, that the Khmer Rouge were a communist group and able to take power only because they were supported and supplied by the Vietnamese (communist party of North Vietnam and Viet Cong) and China (ruled by the Chinese Communist Party). In fact, it was the 40,000 strong North Vietnamese
What? I thought everyone didn't want Americans to meddle with "foreign conflicts". If negligence is a crime, why do those who do not support wars say "You should've helped!"
Its ironic how in this documentary how it shows that innocent people were water boarded by those monsters and that a free country like the USA has its government doing the same thing to not necessarily innocent people but people none the less. And the US claim's its better than other nations for shame
Apart from sensationalising stories, getting numerous facts wrong, being economical with the truth; only speaking to certain people, being unbalanced, skewing figures and not doing basic research, she's great. People are willing to discuss this type of topic, but, unfortunately, 99% of people believe the mass media 100%, unfairly unbalancing any valid arguments. CNN, can't beat it......
While the Khmer Rouge was killing Cambodians, The New York Times had the temerity to run the headline: "South-East Asia Without Americans: For Most, a Better Life." The anti-war movement had truly deluded itself...
@indiaborn another thing people sometimes forget is the almost militant hatred that is spewed from anti-war protesters (sometimes!). During Vietnam, protesters who advocated for peace which I totally respect. However, the point of anti-war is to dim the hate ("make love, not war." sound familiar?) the anti-war protesters shoot themselves in the foot if they go off and bash and disrespect the troops. people like Code Pink and Westboro Baptist church far too often forget the "love" part.

All of these lands were better off with their hereditary kings, emperors and tsars but it took 75+ years for most people to figure this out. Very sad that the US bought into the Khmer Rouge garbage just to spite Vietnam, which in this case actually helped out.

I like how CNN tries to get a good dig at Kissinger, even though there was absolutely NOTHING he could do by 1975 thanks to the Cooper-Church Amendment. I also like how they describe brutal torture, and they add, "even waterboarded!" as though that was the worst thing that happened. I'd rather be waterboarded than have my had cut off. Gotta love the liberal media.

After some fighting and tension along the border began, and Vietnam appeared to be the stronger side, some leading members of the Khmer Rouge decided to switch sides and join-up with the Vietnamese forces with the agreement that they would be installed as part of the new Pro-Vietnamese government in Cambodia. These people, including future Prime Minister Hun Sen, were leaders in the Khmer Rouge who oversaw the crimes against humanity that were perpetrated against the Cambodian people,

Vietnam War was seen as a failure, and antiwar activists rallied against American intervention, some even going as far as calling Communists takeovers of Vietnam and Cambodia the liberation of Southeast Asia.
Finally, the government installed by Vietnam included key Khmer Rouge figures. The fighting between Vietnam and Cambodia was a direct result of the Sino-Soviet split of the Communist movement. Vietnam sided with the Soviet Union whereas the Khmer Rouge sided with China.

force that led the attack into the heart of Cambodia and Phnom Penh and turned power over to the Khmer Rouge.
Second, there were American leaders who expressed a desire to help the people of Cambodia against the Khmer Rouge. President Ford warned of "horror and tragedy" if Cambodia was abandoned to the Khmer Rouge and pleaded with Congress to supply the embattled government of Lon Nol (which was pro-independence, anti-communist, and American friendly). But, Congress refused because the

This report is effective in exposing some of the atrocities that occurred under the Khmer Rouge but misses some very important relationships between the actors.
First, that the Khmer Rouge were a communist group and able to take power only because they were supported and supplied by the Vietnamese (communist party of North Vietnam and Viet Cong) and China (ruled by the Chinese Communist Party). In fact, it was the 40,000 strong North Vietnamese

What? I thought everyone didn't want Americans to meddle with "foreign conflicts". If negligence is a crime, why do those who do not support wars say "You should've helped!"
Seems just as hypocritical to me.

Its ironic how in this documentary how it shows that innocent people were water boarded by those monsters and that a free country like the USA has its government doing the same thing to not necessarily innocent people but people none the less.

asianwannabeamerican 2 years ago 2
Apart from sensationalising stories, getting numerous facts wrong, being economical with the truth; only speaking to certain people, being unbalanced, skewing figures and not doing basic research, she's great. People are willing to discuss this type of topic, but, unfortunately, 99% of people believe the mass media 100%, unfairly unbalancing any valid arguments. CNN, can't beat it......

@indiaborn another thing people sometimes forget is the almost militant hatred that is spewed from anti-war protesters (sometimes!). During Vietnam, protesters who advocated for peace which I totally respect. However, the point of anti-war is to dim the hate ("make love, not war." sound familiar?) the anti-war protesters shoot themselves in the foot if they go off and bash and disrespect the troops. people like Code Pink and Westboro Baptist church far too often forget the "love" part.

At that time, the whole of Vietnam was communist. I don't know about "happily."
The Khmer Rouge considered Vietnam an enemy, and raided its territory until Vietnam got annoyed, and drove the Khmer Rouge from power.
