ellapenella Posted April 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Refugees heading to Phnom Penh in 1975. The United States lent Cambodia’s anti-Communist regime $274 million in the early 1970s to feed and clothe the starving population. Officials in Cambodia have long refused to pay the debt, which has grown to more than half a billion dollars. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/02/world/asia/cambodia-trump-debt.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FCambodia&action=click&contentCollection=world®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=collection&_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnchorSteam Posted April 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Interest makes it a Billion dollars now? They must be using the IRS to calculate that one... In the old days, we would write it off in exchange for land to put a military base on, build it up and then leave them a fist class installation a few decades later. Even if it would make sense (it would be our only base between Guan and Diego Garcia) I don't think anyone thinks it would be a good idea today. How about some sort of economic deal? Nah, maybe not. No matter how well it works out for Cambodia, some mouth-breathing marxists would start whining about 'exploitation' while cashing their stipend checks, and that would be the end of that. Guess things just have to stay as crappy as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
