After months of delays, hundreds of Kenyan soldiers arrived in Haiti during recent weeks. The Kenyan operations in Haiti – dubbed a policing mission – are supported and funded by the US.

The U.S. is there to fund war machines around the world. Unfortunatly, the people that really get hurt behind this are those involved in the wars in these countries and the U.S. taxpayer.

WTF are you on about? Haiti isn't a war. It's a failed state. The US is funding an effort to prevent this turning into (more of) a humanitarian disaster by trying to get a reasonable police force in to enforce some kind of order.

Also, they're arguably preventing the possibility of armed conflict with neighboring Dominican Republic, a reasonably well functioning county that nutjobs in Haiti might try stealing from. (I spent a week there recently, nice place if you like beaches)

Personally I think it'd be fine (and a lot cheaper) to just help the Dominican Republic defend their border better and let Haiti collapse and the people starve. But I'm not into warm and fuzzy humanitarian missions...

Technically a UN mission according to Brave search AI

Edit: but clearly USA is leading it

Good point. Makes it even less "US finding war".

This is the right move.

Protect DR. Destroy Haiti

Use napalm

The Clinton Foundation also played a role in Haiti. They even honeymooned there: https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37826098

They stole all the money earmarked for rebuilding Haiti

Here's another article about Papa Doc and his son. I used to represent asylum seekers looking to escape their horrible persecutions: https://thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA%20Hits/Haiti_CIAHits.html

I thought they would be the NGO white toyotas, I guess not. They got the garbage humvees?

reply

Apparently. Either way it's the US directing the operation.

reply

Hasnt the USA always been involved with haiti? In one way or another?

reply

Yes. They're worried about the optics.

reply

Im sure that once haiti is up and running, the USA will take all the credit. I can already see Trump saying he did it lol

reply

I remember Senator Jesse Helms asking Secretary of State Warren Christopher questions about Haiti in 1995.

Churchill would not have done that!

Edit: it was 1993!

Haiti is completely unfunctional at the moment. At this level it's complete unnecessary to classify it as US lead or whoevers interest - it doesn't matter when trying to address the very basics

reply

Black faces of white supremacy?

reply

Good way to phrase it. Historically, the US attitude towards Haiti is shocking. Russia/Ukraine looks pretty tame in comparison.

reply

I'm not sure why that stupid corporate press phrase came to mind, but it seems more accurate here than it was for describing Larry Elder.

reply

White supremacy can never be fair.

reply

Why is US always trying to get involved everywhere? Is it what they think is in people's best interest?

reply

To keep the defense industry going by selling weapons.

reply

They are actually manipulating the situation everywhere.

reply

..and of course we gonna fund both sides of the conflict because war is just a good business...

reply

US is trying to achieve only one aim — Establish War Economies in countries and sell the junk to them.

reply

No, now, USA won't be leaving smaller and irrelevant places to have their influence?

reply

I guess no

reply

Wow this is kind of insane

Haiti has been suspiciously silent
