What weapons did the Khmer Rouge possess that they thought they could fight Vietnam, a country fifty times their size?

>>64173792 (OP)
Confidence.
Mostly confidence in a pseudo intellectual psycho.

Actual profound mental retardation, same reason why they tried to invade Thailand last month

>/k/hmer Rouge thread
>it's a fucking horror show

Not even threads about Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are this consistently depressing to read.

Its because at least in Nazi Germany or the USSR you could be smart and at least smartly advance insane ideologies. Cambodia encountered some Chinese civil war tier retardation.

This is the kind of math I did in my undergrad years when I tried to figure out the minimum final exam grade I needed to pass a class.

>>64173967
Yeah like exactly how they tried to invade Vietnam in 1979 to distract them and lost 25k soldiers while gaining zero ground right

>>64173987
I feel like this was a missed opportunity to arm those crazy fucks to get back at the gooks

killing entire villages of unarmed peasants does strange things to your military planners

>>64173865
well they did kill all the smart people

Their best fighter was the J-6C (a MIG-19 variant, which is a development of the MIG-17) while the Vietnamese airforce had F-5s and the best MIG-21s at the time.

My experience at college was never need the final exam to pass after a few disastruous semesters, it came to a apoint where once I forgot my calculator for a final and got 3 out of 10 but it didn't matter. I need -2 to fail. I think I was channeling Wargame against the AI, where after killing over 12000 points of units I walked over its command units.

go on /pol/ and open up any thread you like, control+f "white race" and replace it with "khmer", and control+f "the jews" and replace that with "vietnamese" and you'll have a pretty solid idea of what was going on in Pol Pot's mind; that is to say absolute schitzobabble.
Imagine the jungle asian Turner Diaries where the entire premise is just a poorly written power fantasy.

Funny that you mention that! That's exactly what US did.

Real communism no longer exists in the region outside of Laos, it's all managerial capitalism, aristocracies(CCP/CPV) and monarchies (Kim family) larping as commies with a hideous injection of feminism and corrupt corporates.
Of course no one dies of hunger over there anymore and everyone including bestkoreans spend their free time cosooming media as western hegemony just ensured commercial routes keep all running.

Bad enough that it left the same traumatic impression on their veterans as Vietnam did to ours.
“But years later, it comes back – we still have nightmares. When we drink a lot, the memories come back again, and we can behave very badly.”

They thought they were enlightened atheists while the Vietnamese were superstitious savages.

my favorite bit of irony about the war was that the Vietnamese army in Cambodia was equipped with western equipment seized after the fall of Saigon.
