    Really? Nobody in Haiti wants the US to help them?

    They’d rather be gangraped and murdered? I’ll be sure to let them know you feel that way before they die.

      An entire country cannot mobilize an invasion force because civilians ask them to.

      Without specific dealings, documents, and official BS, no country would enter another unless they’re intending for it to be an invasion instead of assistance.

      I have no knowledge of that happening yet, but I also don’t keep an eye on the situation. It may have already happened, I have no idea.

      But the idea that random people being murdered is enough for a foreign country to barge in guns blazing and declare martial law is kind of crazy to imagine.

      I imagine if the US military mobilized a portion of its logistics to assist the government of Haiti, there would be 100 more threads going on about how the US has to stick its nose everywhere it doesn’t belong.

      Personally I’d love to be able to bitch slap and [REDACTED] some politicians into pulling all support from Israel and redirecting the focus to assisting poorer areas around us. Building your neighbors up gives you a much larger foundation to build on in the future. Unfortunately nobody gives a shit who I am, so here we are, complaining about countries run by people who will never listen to or care about us.

      You do know that the US has fucked around and made things worse there, right? And not like once a long time ago, but like it was their hobby.

          No, it means as it currently stands they aren’t the ones that will be trusted by the Haitians to make things better.

              I doubt you are Haitian, or speak for their population. Why don’t you just sit this one out, yeah?

                That’s completely irrelevant and you’re only pivoting to avoid admitting you’re wrong.

                I see it all the time.

                Go ahead, tell the innocent people being gangraped and murdered the US will just make things worse no matter what. I’m sure they’d agree with you and say Kenya should intervene instead, lol.
