I hope the Haitian people can make some peace. There’s not many on Earth who were dealt as bad a hand as them.
Very true. If they didn’t have bad luck, they’d have no luck at all.
No bad luck needed when the World turned on them when they won their freedom. It may no longer be the case but such a scar leaves long lasting effects.
They had bad luck choosing leaders. They had bad luck with the earthquake. The UN and US has come to their rescue many times.
The US previously invaded Haiti in 1915, then intercedes in 1994, after a miltary coup in 1991, and reinstalls a former President (Aristide). Notably they did nothing to help Haiti when Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier were murdering thousands under their dictatorships.
America has only been hands-off when it suited their needs.

Sure, let’s forget a 9.0 earthquake when US doctors flew into help, a US warship was floated into the harbor to provide water. US troops came to help. It was all because it suited US needs…
The US offers nothing that doesn’t come with strings attached
Who will the US install?
The Caribbean leaders named an interim government.
That’s what the US claimed in 1973 when they installed Pinochet
Caribbean leaders met in special session in Jamaica and came up with this one plan. Haiti has not strategic revelance for the US, except its a neighbor. Quit trying to equate things that happened in the bad old 60s. It’s boring.
I’m equating the US Dept of State under Hillary Clinton undermining wage increases so they can help protect capital and it’s profits in Haiti
