Cambodia: Year 10
Wall Street Journal / Review & Outlook | 14 January 1985
[excerpts]
The killing has continued right along, most recently in Cambodia, where this past week Vietnamese troops routed the last of the refugee and anti-Vietnam guerrilla camps as part of their annual dry-season offensive. Vietnamese troops even charged in hot pursuit into neighboring Thailand...
...the real agony of Cambodia began in 1975... Then in 1978 Vietnam invaded, installing a puppet government and taking a large step toward realizing its historical dream of dominating all of Indochina....
Vietnam follows the typical pattern of Soviet clients, accepting some $2 billion a year of Moscow's cash to subsidize its 1.1-million-man army, the world's third largest (after Russia's and China's).
