Re: Hun Manet, Cambodia’s Western-educated dictator-in-waiting


It serves the West right when they entertain the notion that giving Western education to the offspring of a dictator might bring changes to the country because young blood is more liberal than the father. The West has been wrong countless times in such cases and yet they don't learn any lesson of it. All They have to remember is "like father like son".

Unlike ordinary citizens, offspring of dictators never had to face any hardship. They were born with wealth and power and they'll do anything to maintain that wealth and power their parents handed down to them. Without the wealth and power, they are nothing.

When the ship is about to sink, the captains will be the first ones to abandon it. Hun Sen's generals may pretend to be loyal to him now for survival but once they sense that he's in trouble, they will abandon him without any hesitation.

Hun Sen and his corrupted family should read the story in the link below:

The West cheated, they awarded Hun Manet fake degrees. Everything about Hun Sen is fake.
