This is going to do wonders for the tourist trade.

I’m not much in favor of US power projection

However we may have to here just to stop this spiral

It is in our back yard

Incorporate with neighboring militaries like Jamaica and Dom Rep

Only stability they’ve ever known is our encampments

They should have left Cedras in power

Nothing much will happen before 1/25

No, but toss him in the smoker and make sure to add extra seasonings to get rid of the gangy taste.

I agree

Besides sometimes humanitarian efforts are humanitarians

The FFL and western forces could have slowed one million Tutsis from dying from. Bludgeoning and chopping over two months

But we the west did nothing even with assets on hand

Yet we die defending goat herders over Byzantine Middle East complexities

I spent months in Haiti from 87-91

I had to leave with a price on my head smuggled out paperless by mennonites to the Dom Rep on one of their planes

It’s way worse now than then

It would’ve been better if slaves had never been imported to the new world.

Absolutely. Biggest error ever.

Apparently the Clinton Foundation took all that donated money after Haiti’s terrible earthquake and did a bang up job rebuilding the infrastructure and educating the people there in best practices going forward. It shows today.

Kenyan peacekeepers were supposed to arrive last fall. Not sure what happened. Did they just take the money from the UN and failed to follow through their part?

Take a look at Haiti & then look at the direction the U.S. is heading & see if you notice any similarities. Haiti could elect Biden as their president & not change a lot.

There is no similarity between Haiti now and the US now, because all the whites in Haiti were killed in
