Are the Vietnamese secretly the good guys?

>>2294623
BTFOing the Khmer Rouge is enough to make them good guys in my book.

Well, they're the reason why the Khmer Rouge came to power in Cambodia in the first place and why Laos is is a communist shithole instead of a capitalist shithole like Thailand.

So from the perspective of "were they good for other countries" the answer is generally no.

>>2294631
Instead they established a totalitarian socialist genociding shithole government

There's a reason Laos/Cambodia/Thailand hate Vietnam

>Depose the Khmer Rouge for going full retard and killing Vietnamese, planning to invade a country with a much bigger and more experienced military.
>Americans are so asshurt they and their allies recognize the Khmer Rouge as the legitimate government well into the 1980s

>>2294648
>killing Vietnamese

What? Not like the Khmer's genocide machine was discriminatory

>>2294652
They were engaging in border attacks on Vietnam proper.

>>2294652
it was also discriminatory. Anon was right: ethnic vietnamese were soon systematically purged, even though a few ethnic vietnamese were among the party leaders

>>2294647
>why would cucks hate a nation that chose to make its own path instead of being puppet of western imperialists?

>>2294669
>becoming a one party state based on some dead German guy is "making its own path"

>>2294656
Okay? Vietnam was doing the same to Cambodia since at least 1952.

Viets ethnically cleansed Cambodians from South Vietnam 1975-1979 as well. Hard to argue the Viets WUZ GOOD BOYZ DIDNU NUFFIN as Op claims

We genocided Chams, it is one of the most unknown genocides in the world. We supported Khmer Rouge in their first years.

At last now we treat the minorities equal and fair (as us Kinh).

>>2294711
Lol you guys still are shitty to your abos and Chinese

>>2294639
The reason Khmer Rouge came to power because US overthrow Sihanouk Norodom in the first place, he were neutral on both sides but Lon Nol isn't, thus he allied with the only powerful enough military force only to be regretted later and becoming a puppet even to this day.

Are you sure? You won't find out any racism between us and them, apart from the Chinese. Plus they're not abos, since we are all natives.

It's not our fault that some of them decided to stay in the mountains.

They genocided the Chams and was one of the reasons for the Khmer Dark Ages.

They weren't innocent at all. Upon independence from China in the late 900s, they copied their erstwhile Chinese masters and started conquering southwards as well. Using the same "Us vs. Barbarians" rhetoric that the Chinese favored.

>since we're all natives

Uhh no

>except Chinese
Yeah and in America we say "except muslims".

>>2295008
Russians conquered Siberia, they're not natives there, but they're still natives to Russia. Same to us.

Poor country. Not important with global politics.
Not really important to a "communist revolution".
BUT, thought to be the 3rd-4th largest oil reserve in the world. Thats why China is getting closer and closer to their coast.

>instead

it's this sort of uncritical h8 boner that kept the khmer rouge their UN seat

>>2294623

I'm not sure they were good, but they were right.

>>2294623
>Childhood is idealizing America, adulthood is realizing the Vietnamese made more sense
This is true really, the Gommunist fought for independence, fucked the Japs, fucked the French, and then had to fuck the Americans and Southern Gooks to achieve full independence. They are the good guys.

>>2294623
>its an Americunt learns history episode

really getting tired of these repeats.

>>2294623

They've pretty much fallen in love with capitalism.

Their city streets have been flooded with people mexi-packing their families on mopeds since the 90's, only to recently replace that with now mexi-packed cars.

They're trying to be good guys. But really you can't help but laugh at their attempt at being independent from everyone else.

None the less I like pho so I'm glad the world opened their boarders to these failed commies.
