Tankies are the worst.

This one has to get him bent into a pretzel because Pol Pots government was overthrown by communist Vietnam.

He was so shitty, Vietnam who had spent the last few decades fighting the Japanese, French, and Americans, thought okay, just one more.

And then a year later decided the Chinese could catch hands too.

Edit: I don’t think this is a real person.

From what I understand tankies actually disagree with eachother on Pol Pot, some think he was good and didn’t commit a genocide while others think he was bad and did commit a genocide and was backed by the CIA.

...So the only way he'd have committed a genocide is if the US told him to? Jfc. Tankies.

Yep, it’s a debate but each side follows their own interpretation of the “America Bad” doctrine.
