    This is a crazy story, flying completely under the radar. So is the US just going to invade Haiti under the pretext of fighting gangs?

    Are there communists in Haiti or something? I can’t imagine the US would give a dry shit otherwise. The whole story there has been so muddled it’s impossible to tell up from down.

      The current Haitian government is a provisory council appointed by the OAS, armed with Washington-paid Kenyan police, and some of the “gangs” are demanding new elections since the president was assassinated in 2019, and also calling for a more sovereign Haiti.

      It’s a mess, but also seems inline the renewal in focus on the Caribbean. Control the Sea around Venezuela, isolate Colombia and Mexico’s East while retaking the Panama Canal and Ecuador.
