- Before the Vietnam War was illegally and secretively extended into Cambodia, the country was ruled by a popular liberal monarch, who kept Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge at bay. However as American bombing of the Ho Chi Minh trailer expanded indiscriminately , more and more Cambodians were driven into the arms of the revolutionaries.

This deep and incisive portrait of a vibrant and bustling country moves through verdant hills, ancient stone steps and swarming metropolises to reveal a past full of violence and pain, but also a future of hope and expectation.

China and U.S at the back of Polpot In the Cambodia genocide.
China government and U.S government must answer for their crime.
Dr Fauci, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, The new leaders in mass execution, inhale his virus today, act now.
Kill of the unsustainable ageing population they are a burden to new money...
@@luonganhhoang3858 I would hold the Vietnamese responsible also. The Vietnamese help khmer rouge fighting in Cambodia until the won the war. Don't twist the story.
Thanks for sharing
@@tkuy0124 yep 👍 you said this exactly right
Vietnam ended Pol Pot, right after they beat the US. Huge respect to the Vietnamese people for beating mass murdering enemies one after another.
It cost Vietnam a hefty price. Because of the war with Pol Pot at that time, we were embargoed until 1990.
The economy was devastated. Both China and USA supported Pol Pot at that time. Presently, Cambodian hate Vietnamese while young Vietnamese believe if Pol Pot did not kill Vietnamese at the border, we would not have to be there and we would have left Cambodian to deal with Pol Pot by themselve.
@@phong0210Now pal, you got this part of history wrong. Cambodia was literally off the map during our genocide. No one can come to our country, no one can get out of the country unless you sneak out but the chance was very slim. A huge part of people was killed because they were suspected of being CIA spies or a spy in general. So it ridiculous to have support from China and the USA. If we talked about which countries that help started it then it china, the U.S and Vietnam and the Vietnam War were a big part of it.
Our side of the history told us that toward the end of the genocide, the Khmer Rouge started to get paranoid at everything so they killed many Vietnamese near the border. Don't forget some of the survivors in Cambodia are also the perpetrators who participate in the genocide. They know what going on. That why despite what you guys did, we still has a strong prejudice against you guys.
Miki H. Vietnam helped Cambodia for their own benefit ( Khmer’s land ) .
Neath Suon Even the Vietnamese at first helped the Khmer Rouge, but look what have they done to the Vietnamese. Not only the CIA or China but it was the majority of the United Nation supported him to be able to live until he is died because of old inside Thailand territory. From 1980-1990, the Vietnamese tried everything to help the nation of Cambodia, from giving food, industrial technology and even Khmer ethnic teachers to teach the Cambodian as the Khmer Rouge had killed too many intellectuals people. But see how many idiots turn into hate the Vietnamese
Vietnam did help Cambodia from polpot, but before that Cambodia helped Vietnam give them safe place during Vietnam war with us that’s why US bomb Cambodia and polpot born. So without helping Vietnam US won’t bomb Cambodia. That’s why Vietnam should help Cambodia back when polpot.
I am a Khmer Rouge victim. I can still vividly remember everything. I can still smell fresh blood. I can still see victims when I close my eyes. I can still see the boy was buried alive. I can still see things that can never be erased from my mind.
Sorry for what you had to face
All the more reason for society to reject violent rule.
I have a question. When you see people making videos supporting Pol Pot how does it make you feel?
There are wounds that only God heals
Yeah , and they criticized vietnam on invasion stealing their land . But , they didnt worry about pol pot killing cambodian.
Us USA kids never learned about the Cambodian war. This is the first time I’m hearing this because of the movie Calle “FIRST THEY KILLED MY FATHER”
if us didn't bomb Cambodia maybe we don't have war at all
@Prince Vegeta Vietnamese is also the one who trick our king into creating the troop align with pol pot so no they’re not innocent especially Ho Chi Minh.
@Prince Vegeta you can call it bullshit because I heard it from a lot of the elders who went through it especially my dad and grandparent. Yes Vietnamese came to help but with a major cost for us, and they have Hun sen already in place whom I think didn’t even finish highschool.
@Prince Vegeta personally I have nothing against Vietnam but the older generation just have that deep hatred against Vietnamese cuz of what had happened. Cambodia is slowly becoming like Laos since China and Vietnamese invest heavily in the economy.
@Prince Vegeta I do understand that they went through this tough situation too and the past is the past but other Cambodian think Hun sen is Vietnamese puppet and I heard it from other elders
I think Henry Kissinger is still alive today.
How true is the saying, ''only the good die young''.
He cures his multiple cancers with the help of child ritual murders.
Yea Trump has gotten got rid of him in 2020 .. so he is alive
Hard to believe that yes , he is still alive....
As of today, 12th June 2022, he's reported to still be alive. That MF!
Kissinger is one of the most responsible people of a lot of evil around the world, including dictatorships as Pinochet in Chile and Military Joint in Brazil, invasion and bombing of Laos....
My mom was in this war In Cambodia and was enslaved for years,She was very lucky to not get killed
Same my grandma was enslaved and a khmer soilder hit her softly in the head with a axe
I would like to know what she thinks of the vietnamese invasion of 1979
Many of my far relatives in Cambodia went missing.
Its so sad to see what happened in cambodia and there people.and people like Henry Kissinger still enjoying life.so respected by the elites of the world.so good see npw that Cambodia have seen what happened and trying push u.s. out and enbrace communist with help of China.world changing fast.People like Henry Kissinger so respected by the Nato and the west.and is a war criminal. Its not to late for peope west new generation. To charge Kissinger and hang him for his crimes.I guess thats what it takes to turn the world against the u.s.and its allies. I sure he will recieve full military honours and layed to rest in Arlington. GOD BLESS AMERICA THE CHICKEM IS COMIG HOME TO ROAST
Half of my family got killed
A very dark, but true episode of shadow puppet theater. I never knew anything about what really happened over there until I actually went there in 2008. It's most awkward as America was supposed to work for stability in uniting the world in global democracy instead of causing geopolitical chaos, death, and destruction. For all the Americans who've never traveled or looked into anything in the real world outside our schools, you guys just don't yet know these truths and Cambodia is only one of many such wrongdoings.
Its 2019 almost everyone knows. Its called the internet
Same is true in my parents country of Chile.
How about keeping the petrodollar currency?
The US killed about 6 million people in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Vietnam invaded Cambodia to stop the "killing fields" triggered by US actions; and installed a new Govt. Despite this, the US still recognised Pol Pot as the "legitimate leader" for many years afterwards. US Policies have NOTHING to do with democracy or human rights - they are about access of US Capital & control of other countries natural resources -- what is good for US Corporations and business. People are a commodity that can be readily liquidated.
Don ta dude that doesn’t make sense ever heard of the Sino-Soviet split? Mao broke away from the comintern and supported Pol Pot and other randos. It was actually the Vietnamese backed by the Soviets that stopped Pol Pot’s regime.
Finally a non-biased western report. Not only did Vietnam got attacked by America but also had time to save the Cambodians from Pol Pot.
well save in relative terms. the current regime which comes from the Vietnamese supported government is a semicolony of china
Let’s not forget, before Pol pot was able to rise to power. Vietnam was his ally, fighting the Khmer republic (the government at the time). It was only after Pol pot took over the country that their relationship turned sour. So can all the viets stop acting like they’re heroes?
vietnam ruined everything
You are the most stupid cambodia..you are pol pot son.

That's because Cambodians aren't extremely wealthy and politically powerful in the United States like Jews are. If they were you definitely would have been taught about this.

Wow, I never realized my dad was lucky to survive.
A revealing question .... Who supported Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge to the bitter end ?
# First, it's China - Directing, encouraging and supporting them to wipe Cambodia clean of Cambodians, making it ready for Chinese advisors, soldiers, workers, and settlers to flood in and turn it into another XinJiang (a China's conquered province)
# Next, USA - Supporting and using Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge (plus prodding Deng XiaoPing's China) to exact revenge on the Vietnamese who had dared to shoot down their B52s and kick the American new colonialists who were taking on the mantle of the French old colonialists, out of their country Vietnam
# Then, Thailand, Singapore, .... - Lackeys following orders from the USA (and from China's in the case of Singapore)
# Lastly, UK, Australia, .... - USA's vassals.
The first one probably is true but the others are not. Also the Vietnamese are the ones who supported the Khmer Rouge.
@@johnnotrealname8168US aided the Khmer Rouge. Kissinger admitted it himself. US even fought for the Khmer Rouge to retain its seat at the UN until 1993. US fought for genocidal freaks to retain world influence just to stick it to Vietnam. Vietnam invaded and destroyed the Khmer Rouge right after kicking the colonial French and their American daddies.
this is the truth! All opportunist waiting for a conflict to happen so the can benefit off of it.
@@johnnotrealname8168you're only saying it because you want to preserve the idea that your country is this beacon of democracy and liberty.
@@wh2960 What? Compared to Vietnam? America is.
That genocidal maniac Kissinger is still alive in his late 90s as I'm writing this comment.
Of course because he did an amazing job protecting the Military Industrial Complex interests and used communism as an excuse to commit genocides.
He caused more damage to Cambodia in 5 years that Communism would have done in 30 years

Phil K said it right. There were two communistic blocks in the world that time and Pol Pot was allied with Mao’s China, which by the way criticised even soviets not being enough stalinsts anymore from Krushev time. Mao and Stalin together helped creating another murderous dictatorship, North Korea...
Same could be said for muslim extremist ideologies

China retaliated when the Vietnamese disobeyed and destroyed the Khmer Rouge, so they invaded Vietnam in 1979 but were defeated.
More like destroyed the Vietnam industry base in the north and let Vietnam drown in poverty for decades. Also, Vietnam INVADED Cambodia out of their wet dream ruling the whole Indo-China, nothing to do with the Khmer Rouge
@@liltigris4335 hey if we really wanted to take all of Indochina we could have done that long ago. But we respected their sovereignty and let them be independent as friends, not puppets. And how does it have “nothing to do with the Khmer Rouge”? The entire reason we even decided to attack Cambodia was because the Khmer Rouge were killing Vietnamese civilians at the border. So we retaliated.
@@liltigris4335 if we didn’t decide to intervene, Cambodia probably wouldn’t even exist today. Instead of a genocide it would have turned into an extinction. I admit Vietnam isn’t perfect and I admit we did some mistakes and wrong decisions but it’s far better than the Pol Pot regime

Both of my grandparents had to run to Vietnam when the US began its bombardment on Ho Chi Minh's trail along the Cambodian-Vietnamese border. My grandpa fled to Cambodia to avoid military enlistment, then he had to flee back to South Vietnam.
After 1975, reunification, my grandpa joined the Communists, and everyone was scared of him. Our family was OK because he was working with the Communists. We got more food than others. Then Sino-Vietnamese war came in 1979, my grandpa forced himself to retire to avoid being suspected for Chinese spy. Everyday, my grandparents, uncle, and mother had to hide under shelter to avoid exploding shrapnels from Khmer Rouge's artillery. My grandparents' were living in Tay Ninh, right beside Cambodia. Harsh time.
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 is it weird that both east Germany, Czechoslovakia and other countries help the Cambodia

As an Indonesian, i think Cambodia is a very beautiful country, rich in cultures. We're pretty much the same.

Bernie is the man. Honour for calling out a war criminal
“China supported the Khmer Rouge during the 1970-1975 war and was the sole critical supporter throughout the 1975-1979 Democratic Kampuchea period of genocide. With Chinese money and support, Pol Pot carried out the period of murder, starvation and brutality.”
Im a Brit, lived and worked in Cambodia from 1998 to 2017. I married a lovely Cambodian lady who suffered under Pol Pot and was left with 2 children. Im happy I have been able to be a big part in raising her son and daughter.

There are no differences between USSR USA and China. Geography politics interests are more important than innocent civilian lives.
That is a ridicules simplification. Can't do that when it comes to geopolitics.
Stupid sweeping statements. Learn your history and differentiate type of wars. There are vast differences. China wars are defensive or reclaim loss territories never invasive nor effect change of governments.

Yes, you’re right about the book, but a prision cell is not enough for Heinz Adolf Kissinger.
I remember we would go over Vietnam war in school and no mention of cambodia and Laos and everything else that happened. It was a really sad time really bc I know my teacher knew what was going on but the curriculum just didn’t support teaching kids more of the history than just we went to Vietnam.
Well there's a lot of history.
Because the direct war was with Vietnam. Cambodia and Laos are not decisive.
@@frankzappa9148 they still could’ve taught ab how Nixon violated the balance of powers by committing a war act on a sovereign nation without congress approval. I would argue a pretty big part if a president legitimately defied the powers of congress.
Hey they also don't mention the massacres and rape by US soldiers as well. If you see on youtube they talk about how the apache women torture and castrate US soldiers but don't talk about why she did those things.
You can search on youtube the following videos:

Vietnam War Body Count Was Just Bullshit
You can do research on events such as:
My Lai Massacre

The unofficial SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) towards civilians(women)
Also take notes that most of those events are covered up by US soldiers. The perpetrators were left unpunished and they blamed 1 officer as a scapegoat who was William Calley who was supposed to serve 20 years and reduced to 10 then released after 3...

@edgar95035 It was what the US wanted. Vietnam invaded Cambodia to stop the "killing fields" and installed a new Govt. The US still recognised Pol Pot as "legitimate leader" for many years after that. The US has used "terrorists" over and over again to further its foreign policies. The US is THE Death Country.
@@dnickaroo3574 Vietnam did invade cambodia and stop the killing fields but they didn't help the struggling cambodians. The story is back during french colonialism south Vietnam use to be part of Cambodia but the French gave it to Vietnam. Ho Chi Ming promised Prince Sianuoke if he allowed the North Vietnamese to cross the Cambodian borders , he would give south vietnam back to cambodia. At the end the North Vietnamese broke their promise after they defeated the south vietnam and the Khmer Rounge attacked South Vietnam to take back what was once a part of cambodia. The North Vietnamese used to be backed by China but they betrayed china and went to the Russians for Help . The russians gave the North Vietnamese weapons to then fight back against the khmer rounge army backed by china. After the North Vietnamese defeated the Khmer Rouge, they went to the capital of cambodia phenom penh and change all the street names into vietnamese names. The red cross sent in food and aid to help the cambodian families that were free after pol pot's army left the fields but the north vietnamese took the food and aid and kept it for themselve leaving many cambodians to starve to death along the roads for 2 or 4 years. Finally somthing happened and the vietnamese left cambodia and the U.N came in and help them elect a new government.
@@heavenonearth8773 We were fighting to take back our South Vietnam so why should we hand it over to Cambodia.
@@heavenonearth8773 the US helped South Vietnam as part of a plan to aid France in establishing a modern type colony. The Cambodian king at that time fears that his country would become French colony once more. In case you don't know, being a French colony comes with eternal poverty and hunger. The Vietnameses are acknowledged as "if it moves, they can eat it" by the French and we still died from hunger under French rule. That is the chief reason why the Ho Chi Minh trail ran deep into Laos territory.
@@heavenonearth8773 pls prove that ho chi minh promised to prince sihanouke to give the land back to cambodia, which you have traded in the midievel to gain protection of the Vietnames from the Thai invasion.

We're not disgraceful to the ancestor like you guy.
2nd, Vietnamese were dirt poor that time, the fact that we've starved to shared the food with cambodia people, you should be graceful for that, because you might not have been born if the Vietnamese people that year didn't give some one a bowl of rice.
Why many Cambodian are so disgraceful. I'm so curious. May be you guys don't understand what grace means.
Most of my siblings and parents suffered and died when Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia. I and my late brother were the only ones who escaped the war since we came to America in the early 70s. I am thankful to the Lord who brought me out from this horrible war. I always say that there are only three types of people in this world: the good, the bad and the ugly.

As a Christian, I have to forgive and let go; otherwise, I would not be able to live peacefully. ❤✝️
Vietnam invading Cambodia wasnt “invading” totally, it was more to end Khmer Rouge holocaust
False, up to that point they had tolerated the genocide and even sought good relations with the Khmer Rouge. The reason for their invasion (and yes, it was an invasion) was to overthrow a hostile regime that opposed Vietnamese interests and started attacking their country along the border. After they overthrew the Khmer Rouge they installed a puppet regime that included many former war criminals. It had nothing to do with altruism or an actual sense of justice.
@@juliankraus1011Thank You! It is so frustrating that people fail to notice the whole they helped the Khmer Rouge exist and the other bit of the genocide was occurring for while by this point. Any books or articles on the matter you recommend?
@@juliankraus1011 Yes, Cambodia was not their problem at that moment, they still had to deal with China in Northern borders, while rebuilding everything after the Vietnam War at the same time.

Wowowowo, aren't you talking about my country Indonesia?
I think that the Problem is Timeline, while Lon Nol gain his power from Monarchy and mess everything up causing Marxist revolution while Soeharto gain his power by blaming the Communist in the first place.
Firstly 1972-1975 Khmer Rouge against Lon Nol regime (USA puppet),but when they took power in 1975 they turn to anti-Vietnam and killed not anti-Vietnam member in their party(not all anti Vietnam in the beginning).USA realized that so they supported Pol Pot against Vietnam because of their butt hurt in Vietnam war and this is their chance to revenge.USA covered eyes of the UN about Pol Pot regime 's genocide,Khmer Rouge also took a seat in UN Council.And USA also force Thailand to give an area in border for Pol Pot make base after wiped out of Cambodia by Vietnam.CIA and China kept give aid to Pol Pot so Pol Pot forces still alive until 1998.
Until 1998? I'm pretty sure that support ended in 1993.
That "US puppet" didnt commit massacres like in dak son or at hue. Also it was the north Vietnamese and china who supported cambodia early on.
SilverMenace100 In peace agreement it stopped by 1993 but in reality it didn’t. It kept going on until 1997 because Pol Pot escaped to the Pailin, near Thai border under support of China. At that time the security in the country was so bad, the fight between government and Pol Pot army still happened randomly.
Thanh TC You are right from 1976 that China and US supported Pol Pot. But you missed to mention that since 1960, it was Vietnam that played the game to create Pol Pot. Vietnam wanted to govern Cambodia and China didn’t contact directly with Pol Pot.
@@Ngim905 well,it is complicated inside Khmer Rouge you know.And may be Vietnam made mistake for trusting them.Before 1970,Vietnam had no reason to support Pol Pot because Vietnam was in good relationship with Sihanouk regime,that he let Vietnam's troop use Cambodia's land as base,let Vietnam's supplies travel through Sihanoukville Port to Vietnam's troop bases.Then he got a coup from Lon Nol and felt.After that,Pol Pot rose up the banner of anti Lon Nol,reset Sihanouk and Communist so Vietnam support his force.I guess that at that time,Vietnam did not know and realize what Pol Pot really want.Supporting Pol Pot because they are Communist too,Sihanouk is a friend that helped Vietnam and Lon Nol is a threat to Vietnam's force in Cambodia.

Wish everyone view again the bloody and chaotic, hellish scenes everywhere in Cambodia's pre-1975, due to American bombing and overthrowing of Norodom Sihanouk (America's "side show"). Then view again the Pol Pot's years with deserted cities, forced march, execution fields, Tuol Sleng's photos of children, women and men, with their terrified eyes, waiting to be tortured and killed.
# Then view the scenes of today's Cambodia bursting with life.
# Then pause a little and honestly, impartially ask: "Thanks to whom for this revival?"
===============
Mọi người xem lại những cảnh chết chóc hổn loạn Địa ngục Trần gian ở Campuchia trước 1975, do Mỹ bỏ bom và lật đổ Norodom Sihanouk. Rồi coi lại cảnh những năm tháng dưới thời Pôn Pốt với các Thành phố ma không người, Dân bị đuổi khỏi thành phố, những cánh đồng chết, những tấm hình ở Tuol Sleng của những trẻ nhỏ, đàn bà, đàn ông, với những cặp mắt hoảng sợ, đang chờ bị tra tấn và giết chết.
# Rồi nhìn cảnh Campuchia ngày nay tràn trề sự sống.
# Rồi hãy ngừng một chút, và thật công bình, chân thật, hỏi: "Sự sống lại kỳ diệu nầy là nhờ Ai?"
I can see this is very emotional. I think and feel we Americans didn't know enough to make any good decisions in the Vietnam story. Nixon and Kissinger's policy show that. Cambodia is in a similar boat. We don't understand their culture, so why pretend to make good decisions for them? Nixon and Kissinger failed to make any good decisions for this country or its people. Even those two countries suffered a political and intellectual genocide shortly before each started on its down fail. Vietnam in around 1945-6 and Cambodia in around 1947. Any threat to those in charge were expelled or eliminated. I that's why the best and brightest lawyers, doctors, professors, engineers, and other common sense people are always rounded up first! Oh yes, they take any guns before that! Then there is no opposition and they will rule however they please! Americans missed that simple point. We could have helped Vietnam in 1945 and NOT sided with France. She was totally wrong and so were we for backing any pre war colonial power claiming it had to have its Indo- China colonies! We were very stupid. French should have been forced to stay out of Cambodia to allow it to recover from WWII. Since we didn't, there was a price to pay and the people of those two countries paid a very high price! US Military forget all lessons that should have been learned. We used to fight like the Native American's, then we forgot that! We learned how to defeat army's much bigger than us, then we forgot that (North against the South)!
It really came down to Truman after WW2. The British had to give up control of India but France was allowed to return to its former colonies cos the were defeated and occupied in the second world war by the Germans. The West never recognised non white/ former colonies right to complete self-determinations. The whole thing could've been completely avoided if America Backef Ho Chi Minh in 1945. Ho even worked for the OSS at the time and helped fight a guerilla war against Japan during WW2.
Americans pretend they don't know that our country has been doing the looting, the stealing, the manipulation, and the killing directly or indirectly through dictators and puppet governments mostly in Latin America but also Asia and parts of Africa, and Europe since at least the 1840s...
Lol dont play innocent game here. The US interfered every country business not for nothing. Vietnam is located in the strategic area . It was the worst cold war time between USSR n The US, China was the new communist one . Indochina became scapegoat of their political and power game . They turned the area into blood party from innocent civilians to gain their power in the shame of god to brainwash their own voters
Hey they also don't mention the massacres and rape by US soldiers as well. If you see on youtube they talk about how the apache women torture and castrate US soldiers but don't talk about why she did those things.
You can search on youtube the following videos:

You can do research on events such as:

Also take notes that most of those events are covered up by US soldiers. The perpetrators were left unpunished and they blamed 1 officer as a scapegoat who was William Calley who was supposed to serve 20 years and reduced to 10 then released after 3...

BURSTING WITH LIFE, PEACEFUL LIFE! Yes, that is Cambodia now, BURSTING WITH PEACEFUL LIFE. Thanks to whom ? Please answer honestly and impartially.
Vietnam
I really like the animation and that ambient music.
Don't forget that the CIA also backed a coup with Lon Nol and proceeded to back out, leaving them defenseless and at the mercy of the Khmer Rouge. They lost the battles, lost the war, and then proceeded to be taken over by Angkar.
That's what's Kissinger was famous for, backstabbing allies
The US gave up on the war and just ran away after conducting the war idiotically and getting bunch of people killed
As a Cambodian, I respect John Gunther Dean ... He's know us. Khmer people follow monarchy for 2000 years. It's hard to change their idea.

BlueRice says "i hate history. i think its time to move forward with cooperation. past is the past. the future is now and we must work together." - I say:
# I agree wholeheartedly with you on your "i think its time to move forward with cooperation" and "the future is now and we must work together"
# I agree only partially with you on your "past is the past". Because, the past affects the present and the future. If we don't try to learn and gain more knowledge and wisdom from the past, its tragedies, horrors, ... could be repeated.
# Regarding your "i hate history", while I respect your liking, I disagree totally with your attitude. It's not helpful for creating a better, more civilized world and for human progress, if not outright dangerous, for reasons similar to those above relating to your "past is the past".
# Cheers.

The kind that goes on to give Obama, 2 wars to 7 the prize as well. I’m sure Biden will get one too.
They’ve just increased the war budget by trillions while Americans get thrown out of their homes and go hungry.
@@rhonda6791 sad that even the american citizens are getting blamed for atrocities their government
He got the prize together with Vietnam’s minister but Vietnam was still in the war so our former minister refused to get the prize coz it’s so called Nobel PEACE prize lol a circus of western state

I lost three people of my family in 1975 during Pol Pot took power then my people were very suffer and suffer.😮💨
Wow, learned with a big surprise.
What did you learn in school today dear little boy of mine,? "well I learned our soldiers never die and our politicians never lie, that,s what I learned in school today, that,s what I learned in school." ?
I don't agree with senator Bernie on alot of issues, but his comment on Kissinger couldn't have said better!
😭😭😭 It hurts for three million Cambodian souls when Pol Pot dies naturally without knowing the taste of palm branches, saws, hoe, nail polish, torture, as it did to the people.
I like the way last U S ambassador in Cambodia said 04 . 17 .1975 I ,m the one young soldier on front line protected the Phnom penh city.
Jimmy Carter that was preaching morals in foreign policy condemned Viet Nam when they invaded Cambodia and got rid of Pol Pot, which very few people know.
Stalin helped to get rid of nazis but it was not proof that Stalin’s bloody regime was automatically acceptable. Same thing with communist Vietnam, which ruled its citizens by totalitarian methods.
@@ShootRapids The USA and China both sided with Pol Pot, so Viet Nam invasion put an end to the killing of millions. Even if the devil stopped the killing it was for the good, so quit beng so tribalistic.
@@ShootRapids you can said that about stalin, but you can not use that to assume vietnam. What kind of logic is that. The fact happen that the US, china and UN literately aided the genocide regime, Vietnam liberated cambodia. The only reason why the khmer rouge regime could stand for that of long time was they were support and recognized by the UN with US and china behind their back. And now invade? Do you have any idea about how many time had this problem been brought up in front of the UN until Vietnam cannot stand it and lauch the attack to Khmer Rouge regime. You asshole people just literately stood there with your devil smile. Watching millions of Cambodian and ten of thousands Vietnamese got massacred in ways that you couldn't even imagine. Hit in head till dead, ripping body, compress body part, torture till dead.
@@nguyenvubui1258 RedKhmer got in power simply because of north vietnamese invasion to south Vietnam. If communst would not have attacked south, CAmbodia would have able to be outside whole conflict and red khmer could not have the initial support from all communist to get in power.
@@ShootRapids True but you also need to know that the USA and the UN denied atrocities made by Khmer Rouge and claim it was Vietnamese propaganda. They support the Knmer Rouge because the US are shaking hands with China at the time and the Khmer Rouge are Chinese allies and all 3 of them hated the Vietnamese. The US was supporting a state that massacre millions of its own citizens. The US was and is the most hypocritical nation ever before.
Lesson learned: don't trust the americans or the other powerful countries you may have a chance of getting involve to their War Games
True!
Seing Biden in his last speech saying America is back and will bring the world democracy really scares me.
I'm from Cambodia 🇰🇭,😭😭😭
My grandparents were dead in the house by the US air force dropped boobing along the border between Cambodia and Vietnam. And my father became an orphan child at that time when he was two years old.his said.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
For showing the about the the Khmer Rouge I was 12 years old in that time and all my 5 siblings and nieces nephew my God’s parents are killed between 1975 to 1979 and I was the very lucky one very very sad ☝️🙏🙏🙏
My government disgusts me. On behalf of my country am sorry to all who have been victims of American imperialism
Our country was meant never to interfere with other countries goes against our sovereignty and founding principles by our founding fathers. The government that caused this is a shadow government that was never meant to be how our nation was created
Btw many people dont know the US "realpolitik" was not just about supporting Afghan mujaheedins in the 70-80s or Saudi Arabia today. You probably will be shoked, but Americans and the West also supported Pol Pot/Khmer rogue regime. Back then USSR and Vietnam were enemies of the Khmer rouge Cambodia which was supported by China, US and their allies. For example, during the UN General Assembly (september 1979) USA and other "democratic" countries voted in favor of overthrown Pol Pot to keep him in power as a legitimate Cambodia ruler... Also British military trained Khmer rouge militia after 1979.

I worked with a Khmer in the '80's.We had to move a drum of freon from a storage area Into a "parts" area.3 of us got picked to move stuff.Some freon got spilled on his shirt.The cold made by the evaporation freaked him out.He took off his shirt.His upper body was covered in religious tattoos.Sankrit writing,A large figure of a woman and smaller figures.Later I asked about his tattoos.His family were staff at the palace.He became part of the palace guards.He got a gun and a tattoo when he was accepted into the king's service.My co-worker made a comment about tattood Asian gangsters.I explained to him what they meant.This man had survived incredible hardship.He loved being in America.He was surprised that I knew about the Khmer Rouge and the horror show in Cambodia.There is a Khmer family that runs two local businesses.Every time I go in,I greet them with my palms together and my thumbs on my forehead.If they are out of my favorite item,They will make a small batch for me.Wonderful people.

thanks for the story, Brian :)
It's a great story
Thank you for the truth!!!🙏😪🙏
when I was little my mum always telling us had to eat full then a bomb came we could sometimes 3 times a day
Irene Wong So sad. I was born in 1993, I heard my parents and grandma narrated something about the bombing from the airplane. My home village is in Kompong Cham, next to Vietnam border. I just thought it’s common for Cambodia maybe Vietnam too. But when I grew up, I knew that it’s so devastated.
and some american still blame vn for this
Sihanouk become the prince at young age. So he never want to lose his power, so it does not matter if khmer people fight each other or communist against democracy as long he retain his power.
“We gave the impression we were going to help them”.
No I think you done enough thank you

Các bạn trẻ Campuchia hãy tin rằng người Việt Nam không phải là người xấu, chúng tôi người Việt Nam là bạn tốt của các ban.
And finally Vietnam saved Cambodia from polpot
I remember well all this happening while I was in high school. Sideshow by William Shawcross is an excellent book on how the Nixon/Kissinger policies unfolded and the tragic results.
And i am proud to agree with
As a Cambodian, I love American . We love to trade and peace but nobody invade my country.
they didnt talk about how Vietnam saved Cambodian out of extinction
I remember reading about the bombing in the news but don't recall anything about civilian casualties, certainly not "hundreds of thousands".
The 'Menu' bombings went on for some time along Cambodia's eastern border. Accurate casualty figures were never taken for Khmer civilians, but the death toll was certainly significant, especially if you add in casualties from UXBs. William Shawcross' book 'Sideshow' deals with the topic in some detail.
The bombings were secret at the time, the American public were not informed.
Another hidden jem from Journyman 👍👍👍
That's a nice looking hat!
Henrey Kissinger still lives lol
Disgraceful by the United States to turn a blind eye on Cambodia at this time. Kissenger and Nixon's conduct and arrogance deplorable.

This is complete idiocy. What do you mean the king was "powerless" to stop North Vietnam from using his own own country as the main roads to attack South Vietnam?! He had forces under his command. He didn't even try! Yet he and other Cambodians complain that they were somehow "upset" by OTHER people violating their sovereignty?! Just admit the king was supporting the North Vietnamese, Red China, etc, only because he thought it would help him stay in power.
The mess was his fault.
Well a complicating factor here about assigning blame to the United States for the rise of the Khmer Rouge is the Khmer Rouge themselves. As the former ruler of Cambodia once observed about the US bombings, "they (the US) might be bombing in Cambodia but they they are not killing any Cambodians." The areas of the Ho Chi Minh trail the the NVA used to transport men and weapons into South Vietnam were very sparcely populated - many of these areas were almost completely devoid of Cambodians - which is exactly why the NVA used them. A more direct culprit that really gave rise to Pol Pot and his regime were the NVA and China, who directly supported the communist movement in Cambodia and used the Khmer Rouge as a proxy force to keep pressure on the Nuetralist Cambodian government so it didn't directly support the US or the ARVN. These people who always are so keen to "blame America first" for everything often totally discount what the communists were doing themselves in Cambodia and Laos and often don't even care enough to learn what the communists did after they came to power in both countries and how this affected the lives of millions of South East Asian people. These "blame America first" types seem only intent at laying the responsibility at the feet of America and they completely avoid assigning any agency to the South East Asian people or the Communists themselves. This is why I have such antipathy towards communists and their supporters: they are nothing more then ideologically-motivated slave-drivers who pave their own way to hell with their own good intentions and all the bodies of those they've "liberated."
Nothing bad can happen in a vaccum, it has to be linked to the USA somehow, these idiots...
Exactly, the US and ARVN didn’t start intervening in Cambodia until the NVA and VC started using the country as a base for supporting their war against the South Vietnamese. The regime in Hanoi was happy to support the Khmer Rouge so long as they were against US/South Vietnamese interests. I am not saying that our government didn’t do stupid things in SEA, but blaming us for the Khmer’s rise to power is wrong.
@@usauk3605 The stupidest thing the U.S. ever did in SEA was to leave and surrender South Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia to the lunacy of Chinese Communism. What happened in each country after the “liberation” of Saigon in 1975 is proof of that. Millions of people died after the fighting ended, tens of millions were imprisoned, the Hmong & the Montenyard were persecuted from their lands, chemical weapons were used to drive religious minorities off their lands and the horror show has not ended. Our biggest mistake was to leave and surrender these people to the Chinese Communists.
@MatthewLengyel Yes, I agree. After millions and millions of dollars and thousands of lives lost, to pull out the way we did was stupid. We abandoned the South Vietnamese, which is, as you say, the only thing we should really be ashamed of. We gave away our advantage in airpower because LBJ was worried about “offending” Hanoi. You know, because we were only at war with them, no reason why we should be enemies. I guess that was what I meant earlier when I said our government did stupid things, basically compromising our ability to win the war.
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam is like today's Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya. American went in caused destruction and walked away.
Love you Bernie........
It's called American human rights 🤧
You mean wrongs
yea and they said Vietnam "invaded" Cambodia. Instead of supplying Hunsen government weapons and food, they supply Pol Pot troop, and they called they the anti-communist while they supplying the worst communist government. It's like US is a big crying baby
It was a very sad story in Kambodia. The war Between Indonesia and Timor Leste was almost similart to this war. We hope this war cannot happen in the future.
Pol Pot was from an affluent family, he was educated in a French University and developed extensive Marxist learnings towards his ambitions of a State starting with Year Zero. A sick deviant who was an extreme social engineer.
but yet some how him and his closest allies could not understand marx
although vietnam is a communist country...it is vastly different from the chinese communist. Never once has vietnam made agression or external meddling as part of its mandate in its 3000+ history. China on the other hand wants to colonize and assert its iron fist towards every neighbor.
Ideology is unrelated to this. Judging a country based on Ideology is what caused all of this death
