(AP Photo/Odelyn Joseph) UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States and Mexico said Monday they are preparing a U.N. resolution that would authorize an international mission to help improve security in Haiti, whose government issued a “distress call” for the people of the crisis-wracked nation.

U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield made the announcement at an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council as thousands across Haiti organized protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The demonstrations came on the day the country commemorated the death of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, a slave who became the leader of the world’s first Black republic.

The U.S. ambassador said the proposed “non-U.N.” mission would be limited in time and scope and be led by “a partner country” that was not named “with the deep, necessary experience required for such an effort to be effective.” It would have a mandate to use military force if necessary.

There’s a lot of folks around here lately saying Ukraine is the “most corrupt country on Earth”. None of those people have ever visited Haiti.

Sell it to Bill Gates. Plenty of peasants to jab, implant, and feed frankenfood, while enjoying some of the best beach weather in the world.

At least the corrupt leaders in Haiti are paid off with a million or two, in Ukraine it's billions.

It is difficult to understand how one island divided into two countries could have functioning society on one side, and hellish barbarians on the other.

Take money from the poor people of a rich country to give it to rich people of a poor country.

It is forever burned into the genes, the DNA. One side of the island: normal DNA. The other side of the island: bad DNA.

You can't wish it away. You can't have a government program to fix it. It is intrinsic and immutable, forever bad.

Haiti actually had a decent middle class until Papa Doc came along and wiped them out. And we looked the other way, because Papa Doc kept the Commies out of Haiti.
