With endorsements like these, one might ask, who needs enemies? Last week, as an enervating U.S. election race reached its final stretch, Republican nominee Donald Trump secured the support of another of the world’s leading authoritarians. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, a pugnacious former soldier who has dominated his country’s politics for over three decades, threw his support behind the real estate mogul and former reality TV host. He did it, .. for the sake of world peace. “To be frank, I do want to see Trump win,” Hun Sen told an audience of police cadets on Nov. 3. “If Trump wins, the world can change.… Trump does business, so Trump would not want to have war.”
It’s tempting to put Hun Sen’s endorsement down to shared authoritarian traits — an expression of strongman respect. For more than half his life, the 64-year-old Hun Sen has ruled his country through a blend of force, guile, and The Apprentice-style theatrics. Like Trump, he is thin-skinned; he is also partial to rambling speeches. Neither figure has any tolerance for opposition, which both see as a sign of treason or shadowy conspiracies (“the whole system is rigged”). While Trump has threatened to arrest his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, if he wins on Nov. 8, Hun Sen has effectively done it in advance. Since mid-2015, he has jailed more than 25 government critics, including two opposition lawmakers, while the main opposition leader, Sam Rainsy, has been forced into exile in France. ...

bottom of the barrel time.. Who is the CFR endorsing, I wonder?
VOTE!!!
Ah, another day. Another liberal, commie, propaganda, hit-piece on DT by Yahoo.
This doesn’t even seem to make sense — Hillary would be safer for most of them.
I despise these “journalists”.
The author is a lunatic.
An actual clinical definition lunatic.

Hun Sen must not have given to the Clinton Foundation.
Except the ones that give Hillary money.
That’s surprising since Hillary collected all that cash from them.
Like many, he’s probably waiting for delivery of his goodies that he was promised for this endorsement.. by the CCF. ;-}
One NUT JOB is “Dictators Everywhere”. HEH HEH
Exactly true !
ALWAYS consider the source !
Serious question: Why does FR allow anyone to post stories from the ridiculous Yahoo! “News” website? It’s run by a bunch of junior Dem operative hacks.
I think the idea is that hopefully given the fact that they cast endorsements to encourage people to vote the opposite out of shock.
Last I checked, Barry 0 was stumping for the b-witch.
Another Journ-O-List who will be manning the fryers at Burger King once this company that can’t manage to secure its email servers bites the dust.
Looks like an Obama Pajama Boy.

They pine for their size 6X teddy bear pajama days.
I just listened to ABC top-of-the-hour newscast. They managed to find an alarmed Hispanic who voted for the first time, and he says all he needed was to hear what Trump said about some illegal immigrants, so he voted for Hillary. He said that although he is a citizen, he is afraid Trump would deport him.
