If other countries had shown the same level of care and support for Cambodia as they do for Gaza, the people wouldn't have suffered as much back then. The lack of attention and assistance from the international community had devastating consequences for Cambodia, leading to widespread suffering and hardship. It highlights the importance of global solidarity and aid in times of crisis to prevent such tragedies from occurring.

That’s not correct dude. This only happened over 3-4 years. Reports was being fed to other countries what’s going on due to some Cambodians getting to Thai boarder etc. no one really believed what was going on. By the time everyone knew what was going on, the Vietnamese after beating the USA , had invaded Cambodia and took out the Khmer Rouge. Your research is poor. Your statement is poor.

[@bhoward9378]

This is a very interesting video. Having said that... the voice over about a former structure (in Battambang?) being turned into a prison interspersed with photographs from S-21 in Phnom Penh is deceptive. I suggest that the voice-over refer to "Sur Lee" (phonetic, around 43:54) by his actual rank. From earlier in this video, he was a high ranking officer, not a common soldier.

[@jhoncho4x4]

The movie "The killing fields" was a disturbing movie. At least the miltary equipment left in Vietnam, got to be used for some good, to stop that genocide. I don't know what Vietnam's motivation was to get involved, but glad they did. Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge was brutal.

As a young Vietnamese, I didnt know why Vietnam got involved in this war and succeeded to stop the brutal Khmer rough killings. it turned out for a good reason. however, at the end of the day, Viet Nam was accused of invading Cambodia and none of the accusers know how much painful for Vietnam and its people who have to bear all consequences of this war. Sadly, Cambodian turn more friendly to China who, once supported Khmer rouge to kill its own people.

1 brutal genocide by polpot with nearly 3 million people both Cambodian and Vietnamese at the border and island. However, many Cambodians now still don't want to understand, they blame Vietnam for invading Cambodia, living after nearly 50 years of peace but they don't understand the value of peace, they don't think and find a way building a rich and strong country, they just go to see a beautiful place in Vietnam and provoke that it is Vietnam taking over their land for example Ho Chi Minh city, Phu Quoc island, they don't understand who is who are enemies, they don't understand to have peace and escape the genocide the blood of Vietnamese soldiers has poured into the river in their country, sadly for such people, Vietnam always wants brothers Like Cambodia, Laos is our friend to keep peace and stability, to build a strong country together.

Cambodia was always in between Vietnam and Thailand aggressions, occupations, and invasions. The bombing surely didn't helped the conflicts. The end result after Pol Pot regimes, is the Hun Sen regime still ruling Cambodia forty years now with the backing support by Vietnam. Vietnam completely took over Laos. Their ambitions is to take over the whole Cambodia. Vietnam never honored the Paris Peace Accord of 1991 its signed. Don't buy made in Vietnam, or visit Vietnam.

[@anti-Russia-sigma]

Its better to send Kim Jong-un & the PRC.

[@YOU-GET-WHAT-YOU-HAVE]

Communism and socialism are different. Cambodia used to be a socialist country lead by the self abdicated King, but due to the ideological conflict brought by the cold war to nearby countries, especially Vietnam (the Vietnam war), the 2 ideologies spread. Cambodia try it best to stay neutral even joining the non alignment movement created by the Czech. Despite this effort the US disrespect Cambodia's stand by intervening the country political landscape by helping a military coup leader instead of it legitimate leader. Therefore, the king having little choice left, decided to join with the communist, And after the communist took over the country, no one expect them to be so cruel, not even it allies. And this might be a surprise to an American, the US government, out of spite, used to supplied the Khmer rouge (a savage communist group that killed 1/4 of it entire population) when they're fighting with Vietnam (Vietnam won both the Vietnam war and the US semi-backed savage group of communist).
