This is a great opportunity for Cambodia to get close to America. Cambodia had suffered enough for being too close to China resulting in 2 million deaths under Pol Pot.
Yea.. I would trust US over China and Vietnam any day. As long as those two countries remain communist, they are never to be trusted. Enough said!
I need more economic developement from the US rather than the military.
Do you know that Tear Banh is Vietcong.
