Animated graphic shows US bombing of Cambodia 1965-1973

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

We would have to define who '' they '' is. If it is the munitions companies , and the shareholders and everyone else that was getting rich on the war effort,,,, then we could say '' they '' won.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

A damning enditement to the excesses of the wealthy trying to protect its interests and the amount of death and destruction it's willing to unlease to those the ends. All those lives lost for what amounted to nothing in terms of its purpose. But not even around 2 + million deaths in Vietnam and Cambodia were enough, they then went on to back anybody or anything capitalist OR communist/ fascist that would punnish the Vietnamese for their defeat. Remember, it wasn't America per se, it was the wealthy Americans that controlled their own interests.
It's to deny cover to the enemy, and they are doing the same thing in Afghanistan right now.
