    Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Compare American-backed dictators and non-American-backed dictators.

    Not a lot of difference.

      there actually is, the amount of civilians killed, because unlike the soviets, the Americans kept a leash of theirs.

        Pol Pot was supported by China, not the Sovs. What’s more, Pol Pot was hardly an ‘average’ outcome.
