The Khmer Rouge was not in power when Nixon bombed, and then invaded, Cambodia. So, this article is very mistaken. The U.S. under Nixon invaded Cambodia, which had been a neutral power during the war in Vietnam. The subsequent chaos of this invasion assisted the Khmer Rouge to gain power in Cambodia. . . . . The Khmer Rouge did not gain power in Cambodia by its' own accord. The weakness of the Cambodian royalty to deal with this small extremist party was caused largely by American involvement in Cambodia.

Rubbish.

This is a typical disinformation from the Left, who do not want to take responsibility for what their disastrous policies did to the people of Southeast Asia.

Nixon "invaded" Cambodia because the communists were using it as a base of operations against South Viet Nam. The communists did not move in to take advantage of chaos supposedly caused by the United States; the communists were already there.

It's amazing how deep this Communist-inspired lie has sunk into the marrow of popular culture, and I suppose it demonstrates that the strategy pursued cultural Marxists like Antonio Gramsci was more effective in brainwashing the populace than the harebrained schemes engineered by the inept bureaucrats working for the GRU/KGB and FCD, which were aimed at subverting our country during the Cold War through foreign espionage.

I heard it repeated just a few weeks ago during the Howard Stern Show, when this smarmy, mal-educated, and completely charmless stand-up comedian repeating the cliched libel that Henry Kissinger was responsible for the unparalleled genocide that unfolded in Cambodia during the reign of terror perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge.

Apparently, the illegal incursions into Cambodian territory of the North Vietnamese, the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the attempts by the USSR to turn the whole of Southeast Asia-from Thailand, to Burma, to the Indochinese peninsula, to Indonesia-into one vast vast collection of Soviet vassal states was something that this nitwit never learned before embarking on a stellar comedy career.
