Another “Pol Pot’s genocide” parroting that whitewashes American crimes. According to the World Bank’s data, during American invasion and bombing of Cambodia from 1970 to 1975, life expectancy in Cambodia dropped by 18 years. During Pol Pot’s rule of Cambodia from 1975 to 1978, life expectancy in Cambodia dropped by less than 4 years. Please note that the World Bank is an American tool, so the real data should be worse for America and better for Pol Pot than the current one shows. In short, the so-called Cambodian Genocide was done by American invaders instead of Pol Pot.

Let’s rephrase that to what it actually says: Pol Pot somehow managed to drop life expectancy even 4 more years after the Americans had already brought it 18 years down. It should have been easy to raise life expectancy above 23 but instead it fell to 19. Pol Pot was a disaster.

u/JuicyJunior - originally from r/GenZhouJust because America committed a worse genocide in Cambodia doesn’t negate the genocide committed by Pol Pot
