["The US is just now getting out of Afghanistan after 20 years. 60,000 Americans were killed in Viet Nam. What was accomplished in those conflicts?
No way the US will get involved in the Haitian mess. And without the US, I doubt any others will."] End quote
Nothing was accomplished.
Governments use their own citizens as political tools, nothing more than political ploys.
The lie always is, that the fighters are defending their country, families and way of life.
In the end the soldiers are just supporting their comrades fighting for unit integrity, trying to stay alive.
Haitians have been abused by successive Haitian governments.
A once fertile part of the Island of Hispaniola has been denuded and the soil depleted.
It will be a major task to turn Haiti into a viable country with proper structures.
At the same time the world is fighting regional wars and covid.
Supply chains have been disrupted, food costs are at all-time highs.
Emerging countries especially are hit by rising food costs.
Haiti faces a monumental task, exacerbated by international reluctance for military and monetary involvement.
Past records for Haitian aid do not bode well.
