      It sounds like UN and French aid would be welcome, too. The article talks about the US’s refusal to send military aid.

      The US would be well-suited to send military aid in the near-term, they have military bases with helicopters in range of Haiti. They could secure the capital from the rebelling gangs within a day.

      I’m not familiar with the situation in Haiti, but keep in mind that organized crime is inherently fascist. I would like an explanation from the developed countries in the area why they don’t think they should prevent an entire country from tumbling into fascism.

        Gangs of Haiti aren’t a nuclear super power threatening sovereign states. It’s an internal dispute.

        Of course, all the Putin bootlickers brains are so twisted at this point they will never understand that.

          Gangs are fascist organizations that are murdering civilians. The thugs that Russia sent into Ukraine in 2014 were mostly fascists that murdered civilians, too. If you’re not opposed to fascism, then you’re supporting it.

            I said it earlier but I will repeat it.

            Russian propagandists don’t understand the difference between an internal struggle and a fascist invasion of another country.

        The US hasn’t sent people without an invitation. Everything the US has done there has been at the request of Ukraine.

        PS: this comment is about what the US is doing in Ukraine and not what they are doing(or not doing) for Haiti.

            Well, all the places that I have seen report on it haven’t said they specifically asked the US, though the US is a major backer of the task force that has been assembled from other countries. So if you have a reputable source that says the Haitian prime minister has specifically asked for US troops I would like to see it.

        Because they’re white and look out for white interests.

        How does helping the people of Haiti benefit white people?
