They used the Vietnam war to spread communism not contain it.
Cambodia got independence from France in ‘53 and had a solid, home-grown kingdom for nearly 20 years until the US backed a coup. Then US bombing helped the Paris-educated Khmer Rouge take control. With US backing they murdered millions… anyone who was educated / etc. We’re told Vietnam fell to the communists when the US left, but when we left… Vietnam invaded Cambodia overthrew the communists and put a stop to their genocide.
The CIA also allowed the assasination the democratically elected president of South Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem by the generals who took over and ran the country under a military dictatorship, November 1963.
Gee...something else happened around that time, can't remember what it was exactly....
