Ever heard of Cambodia?
And Pol Pot got deposed by Vietnam after they kicked the US out. They really should get more credit...
That's another one. They killed a large chunk of their population, didn't they?
Between 21-24%

Jesus, I'd forgotten just how bad it was.
And it took until 1997 to arrest Pol Pot. He does of a heart attack the following year.
They literally only claimed to be communist for a few years out of their decades long rule. They had cia connections. The vietnamese communists overthrew them and installed a communist democracy. But sure, they're communist /s.
This Cambodia? https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/03/20/american-bombing-50-years-ago-still-shapes-cambodian-agriculture
Yes that one, the one with all the Chinese land mines, both countries have done shitty things, there are no good guys
I think I'm going to call people like you Tankards, like a tankie, but with added tard

Only question is what the fuck was US doing murdering people half way across the world. I guess that's the whole missionary mentality coming from enlightened Europeans where your tradition is to go around the world to kill and enslave people.
My tradition? All those people are dead, and I'm pretty sure the Barbary pirates weren't European but still took slaves, as did most of Asia.

Judging historical events by today's standards is fucking stupid.
The CCP is literally enslaving and sterilising Uyghurs right now, cretin

The only thing that's fucking stupid here is pretending that the west isn't practising colonialism today and that your standard of living isn't subsidized by the people literally enslaved by western companies https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/12/mars-nestle-and-hershey-to-face-landmark-child-slavery-lawsuit-in-us
Yeah you keep on peddling debunked conspiracy theories there since that's all you've got to wok with. Weird how Uyghur population keeps growing. China can't even get genocide right apparently. Should probably learn from the brits how to do it right.
Yet more whataboutism, suprise
Fuck off and learn something instead of spamming my inbox Tankard

Love how you trolls always reach for whataboutism. How dare you hold countries to the same moral standard you say as you adorably stomp your little feets. Meanwhile, here's what an actual genocide looks like https://bylinetimes.com/2021/09/15/up-to-six-million-people-the-unrecorded-fatalities-of-the-war-on-terror/
Tankard, for the last time, two wrongs don't make a right
In the west we are free to protest, in CCP land or Russia, you are not. End of discussion.
LMFAO https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/01/imprisoned-51-weeks-protesting-britain-police-state
Yes, the Tories passed stupid laws for votes.
When they get voted out, the laws can be repealed.
It's called a democracy, tankard
How do the people in authoritative one party countries change the laws? Dur?
yup, that's the kind of coping I'm here for
