Kenton Clymer is Chair of the History Department at Northern Illinois University, USA and was formerly Professor of History at the University of Texas at El Paso, USA. He is the author of "The United States and Cambodia, 1969–2000, A trouble relationship" and other books that focus on American relations with Asia.
On page 94 of that book, "A trouble relationship", we can see a piece of History :
For his part, the exiled Prince never ceased to believe that he had been the victim of an American-sponsored coup. In 1979, Kissinger met Sihanouk in Beijing and assured him that the United States had had nothing to do with the coup. “You must believe that we were favorable to your returning to power and that we did not like Lon Nol. We liked you.” “Thank you very much,” Sihanouk responded. “I want you to believe it,” Kissinger pressed on. “Excellency,” Sihanouk replied, “let bygones be bygones.” “No. No. No. I want you to say that you believe me,” Kissinger insisted. To which Sihanouk replied, “I apologize. I cannot say that I believe you.”
Sihanouk had always concentrated on his power . He had put his interest a head of his nation : when he was overthrown by Lon Nol & Sirikmatak , he joined Vietcong to liberate Cambodia . According to the video clip , Sihanouk had known well that Heng Samrin' & Hun Sen ' soldiers were Yuons . Why did he forced FUNCINPEC to share power with Yuons after their Party lost the UN sponsored election ? Sihanouk kicked the UN out of Cambodia before they finished their mission , so that he hastened to be crowned as King again, over the disappointment of millions Khmer voters .

"Fuck off Cambodia" My adopted father was dissapointed to hear that kind of word from Mr. Henry Kissinger mind.
Sihanouk had always concentrated on his power . He had put his interest a head of
his nation : when he was overthrown by Lon Nol & Sirikmatak , he joined Vietcong
to liberate Cambodia . According to the video clip , Sihanouk had known well that
Heng Samrin' & Hun Sen ' soldiers were Yuons . Why did he forced FUNCINPEC
to share power with Yuons after their Party lost the UN sponsored election ? Sihanouk
kicked the UN out of Cambodia before they finished their mission , so that he hastened
to be crowned as King again, over the disappointment of millions Khmer voters .
