Re: Sam Rainsy sentenced to 25 years by Cambodian court
Actually I agree with everything you say about Mandela. He certainly was no saint but has been sanctified by the media as a martyr. If Sam Rainsy went to jail in Cambodia he would also become a martyr and there would be protests both domestic and international. By absenting himself from Cambodia he has demonstrated that he is not really committed to any cause and has lost the respect of the population.CaptainCanuck wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 8:56 amYou make it sound like Mandela marched himself to jail like a martyr .... the man was arrested and convicted for bombing and killing innocents in an attempt to overthrow the sitting (albeit despicable) government.
He may have peacefully negotiated a transition from Apahrteid after having his ‘life sentence ‘ commuted and his subsequent release for jail, but the ANC has done absolutely nothing to advance the livelihood of the common SA citizen, black, white, brown or Asian ....
He had a decades long history of being a domestic terrorist, killing and maiming the very citizens he claimed to want to free while doing little to no harm to the ruling elites.
He may be a Saint in the eyes of the western media and it’s faithful stooges who gobble up whatever version of history they wish to peddle on any given day ...... but the man was a cold blooded killer, Marxist and political agitator.
Research the 1983 Church St bombing and remember this was the culmination of almost 20 years of practicing his chosen profession as a terrorist.

He's still very popular. The reason HE doesn't want him round is because he would win an election. There are plenty of his parties members already in prison and it doesn't serve their cause any practical purposesamrong01 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 7:12 amActually I agree with everything you say about Mandela.

History might disagree ...... study Ho Chi Minh ..... you bring western thinking to Asia ..... doesn’t always work out .....samrong01 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 7:12 amActually I agree with everything you say about Mandela.

He's minted, old money, don't worry.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Sam Rainsy sentenced to 25 years by Cambodian court
I dont think Sam Rainsy can be compared to Ho Chi Minh. Ho was always widely admired by his people, even those who disagreed with his politics, due to his total commitment to Vietnam. Sam Rainsy has not demonstrated such commitment. I am not sure he is still popular - everyone I speak to has little admiration for him but of course I do not speak to the entire population. I think any credible opposition would win an election in a landslide whether it included Sam Rainsy or not. Just look at the last municipal elections.

Ok, you’ve lost me now ..... in one quote you say his jailing would create protests internationally & domestically and in the next breath you say he has very little support .samrong01 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 7:30 am I dont think Sam Rainsy can be compared to Ho Chi Minh.

Perhaps you should be in politics, you’ve got the ability to talk out both sides of your mouth simultaneously ... ...

Re: Sam Rainsy sentenced to 25 years by Cambodian court
Probably because him being jailed is hypothetical and will never happen. If he was jailed he would become a martyr but as it is he has lost much support for absconding.CaptainCanuck wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 9:55 amOk, you’ve lost me now ..... in one quote you say his jailing would create protests internationally & domestically and in the next breath you say he has very little support .samrong01 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 7:30 am I dont think Sam Rainsy can be compared to Ho Chi Minh.

Re: Sam Rainsy sentenced to 25 years by Cambodian court
Read what I said. I said IF he did not leave and he went to jail there would be protests. But since he didnt and left the country his support has gone down.CaptainCanuck wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 9:55 amOk, you’ve lost me now ..... in one quote you say his jailing would create protests internationally & domestically and in the next breath you say he has very little support .samrong01 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 7:30 am I dont think Sam Rainsy can be compared to Ho Chi Minh.
