No hindsight. Communist takeover plans were very well-know and public for a long time.
Moscow hardly had a monopoly
Nobody claims this.
The fact of the matter remains: the KR and Pol Pot were created
following the standard communist script for "liberation movements"
in the
developing world (i.e. thinly veilded preparations for communist takeover). All the ideological training was provided by the
Soviets and their allies, as were all the many weapons and other logistics. The US was
in East Asia primarily to counter the communist threat, not to prop up
French colonies.
All responsibility for the KR and their actions is with the communists
leadership in Moscow (and Beijing and Paris and Belgrade and Hanoi).
