Add to that that Vietnam had just fought a war against Cambodia because Red Khmer were too fucking retarded to the point where Vietnam had to intervene in order to stop that constant communist purity spiraling and purging. Which led to the absurd situation where US was defending actions of communist Khmer in the UN security council because both Vietnam and Soviet Union raised that issue of red Khmer doing genocidal things.
Additional absurdities were provided by Swedish media that praised communist Khmer regime to the heavens while media outlets in various communist countries were far less enthustiastic and outright sceptical about anything Khmer regime had told them or shown them.

Well we are all hoping that it would happen.
Remember what they said about before first world war. "War can't happen because world is so interconnected through economic ties, and because weapons are too devastating!"
