Re: Vote GOP or America will end up with Pol Pot running the country
... The peasants, nor any other sector of society, did not revolt because they sat around listening to Radio Peking and having political-philosophical discussions in the evenings. It was purely a visceral gut reaction to the mass murder and total destruction of their country by the bombing ... The ...

Re: Vote GOP or America will end up with Pol Pot running the country
It was the corrupt elite that gave rise to the KR! 'It was the corrupt elite which gave rise to the Viet Cong!!!' Today, under its communist government of liberators, Vietnam ranks as one of the most corrupt nations on earth. So we can conclude that millions of Vietnamese had to be killed in order ...

Re: Vote GOP or America will end up with Pol Pot running the country
Karma wrote ".. any dumb-arse Khmer peasant who actually swallowed the pre-1975 Khmer Rouge bullshit.." Karma, the reason it was so easy for the "dumb-arse peasants" to swallow the bullshit was that every right minded person in the country became appalled, terrified and pissed o...

You just wait till the Mueller report comes out, and you'll see that it's true.

Re: Vote GOP or America will end up with Pol Pot running the country
Well, that was quite a reaction to my offering, but it is noted that none of my detractors rebuffed the points I made. Rather, they shot off on obtuse angles. Look at clips from Cambodia, 1969. Look at the cheerful faces. No way could those innocents have imagined the unimaginable that would unfold ...

Re: Vote GOP or America will end up with Pol Pot running the country
Hmmm. Off the top of my head, and giving it very little thought, here's a little list of Khmer Rouge strategy prior to their seizure of power.

Re: Style queens of 1960s Saigon (many pics)
https://i.imgur.com/kVY9RXG.jpg That was a monument to ARVN, the South Vietnamese army. There are two photos I regret I did not take. Each time I could not bring myself to do it. The first was in Phnom Penh in the final days before the Khmer Rouge. The second was in front of this statue about a wee...

Re: The golden age of the 'Hippie Trail'
Exactly, PR ... no guide books to hold our hands.
Our meandering was spontaneous and chaotic.
Impulsive plunges.
When asked later how I ended up where I did, my flippant response was 'After getting up to Bangkok, everyone turned left so I went right.'

Re: 12 good men?
I'm a little puzzled. Are you referring to the herd acceptance of the non-stop 'Putin's Poodle' allegation? To the herd acceptance that President Triumph and his 'Deplorables' are racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, misogynist Nazi bigots? To the 'I Believe Survivors' herd acceptance of ra...
