It should be, "birds of the same feather flock together."
Like mind like behavior.
This is a Youn strategy to separate relation from Cambodia to the US. Youn strategy is to allie Cambodia to the country that don't get politically along with the US such as China,Russia,north Korea, Cuba. In the future, will it be Iran?
It's a political gain,if Cambodia is smarter in avoiding Yuon dominance in the future.May be it's a communistic government,But Cuba has endured and gained equality in diplomatic conversation with US.
That's a respect earned. Also not all communists are bad. Israel was created by Jews of Communistic ideas and the volunteerism for the better good of the group.
Economic is a new way to dominate the world market, so if Cuba wants to buy then Cambodia should sell.
Remember, Castro,once was seen as David in Jews belief,who stood up for his people and rid of dictator backed by the Goliath US in the mid 50's.
To Castro,communism was his tool to defend his people and country.Note,Hun Sen or Sihanouk is no way compared to Castro of Cuba in politic and intellect.
who knows, cuba can change too after castro is gone, you know! nobody can live forever!
