And the Hello, welcome back to another episode of The Lines Love by Donkeys Podcast.

I'm Joe and suffering with me through the second hour of the day is Nick.

I was promised this is going to be better so. I mean that's a low bar coming from

part three? It is. There's not many things that could be more depressing.

Is there anything we can look forward to? We do get to talk about how the

Comeriors get fucking brutally stomped by the Vietnamese army. Like not even a fight. It's amazing.

Oh really? Yes, it's great. So with that we can start part four.

Uh, so we left you last week the genocidal reign of the Khmer Rouge was about to come to an end.

Kind of.

But the worst parts were about to be over?

Right.

We talked about a little bit already.

And it's been fleshed upon, fleshed out a little bit over the last about three and a half hours. But Vietnam and

Cambodia fucking hate one another during this time. They still kind of do. There's still

a lot of tension there, but they aren't shooting at each other anymore so that's called

progress. Yeah. But yeah during the time of the Khmer Rouge not so much. Not only did

Cambodia and Vietnam hate each other historically, but that only become

amplified during the years of Khmer Rouge control. We talked a little bit before about

how China totally and fully supported the Khmer Rouge, and that was not out of the goodness of their heart.

A new strong Cambodia was a thorn in Vietnam side.

You remember, we're just getting over decades of war between the French and then the Americans and then fighting the South and then unifying it

They've been through some some shit
