ryonguy posted:Thank god for Stalin so we can always point to an authoritarian dictatorship when we want to "prove" communism is bad. Also, more US supported defenders of liberty and freedom. Him and all the other ones. Maybe they'll get it right next time. Or maybe trying to drastically reorder humanity at gunpoint is an inherently flawed idea? I wish you were as good at recognizing bad political systems as you are at recognizing bad politicians. ryonguy posted:The United States gave the Sihanouk-Khmer Rouge coalition millions of dollars in aid while enforcing an economic embargo against the Vietnamese-backed Cambodian government. The Carter administration helped the Khmer Rouge keep its seat at the United Nations, tacitly implying that they were still the country's legitimate rulers. don't be shy, quote the whole paragraph: frontline posted:The Khmer Rouge would likely not have survived without the support of its old patron China and a surprising new ally: the United States. Norodom Sihanouk, now in exile after briefly serving as head of state under the Khmer Rouge, formed a loose coalition with the guerillas to expel the Vietnamese from Cambodia. The United States gave the Sihanouk-Khmer Rouge coalition millions of dollars in aid while enforcing an economic embargo against the Vietnamese-backed Cambodian government. The Carter administration helped the Khmer Rouge keep its seat at the United Nations, tacitly implying that they were still the country's legitimate rulers. Now this is truly rare. A straw man so versatile that it could be used by both sides of an argument to make the same dumb point. I will cherish this moment forever.
