It's extremely pro-BBQ

Edit: i should note that there are pictures of gang violence and people getting very hurt. It is a documentary and it has a lot of violence. I've only watched the first one to completion so I'm only going to post that one because I dunno how bad it gets in the later ones.

Finished this series. There’s a lot of funerals but the worst stuff is definitely in the first part. BBQ might not be perfect but the big takeaway is just how much the US State Department hates him and has invented crimes to accuse him of, so he deserves support almost for that alone imo.

No, no. This time when we're sending the Marines to Haiti, it's for good reasons, and only a handful. :dumb:

e: Why the gently caress does the US Embassy in Canada have a platoon of Marine guards if they needed to send additional marines to Haiti? I realize photo ops and dress blues or whatever, but I'm confused about what the point is if the (evacuated?) US embassy in Haiti needed a fleet level asset deployed there?

It’s basically reinforcements. FAST teams are basically regular marine infantry who have pretenses of being elite operators. (So, regular marine infantry.)

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.
The Kenyan high court ruled that Haiti's government needs to approve the deployment of police, hence trying to set up this quisling council I suppose.

Kenya high court rules against plan to deploy hundreds of police to Haiti

Judge says UN-backed proposals to tackle gangs in Caribbean country contravene Kenya’s constitution


Fri 26 Jan 2024

Kenya’s high court has ruled against a government plan to deploy hundreds of police to Haiti to lead a UN-backed multinational mission to fight escalating gang violence in the Caribbean country
...
The court’s ruling that the deployment was “illegal” did not turn on the major issues raised in the case, which lawyers said blind-sided both sides. The judge found that parliamentary approval was only required for military, and not police deployments, and that police could be deployed abroad.

It said, however, that for officers to be deployed, there needed to be a reciprocal arrangement with the host government, which the petitioners had argued – with no contest from the government – was not currently in place.

As far as this new security deployment, it is a state department Diplomatic Security Service team plus the marine FAST team. It seems there is a bit of censorship about the nature of the later, I pulled this pic from google cache from a quickly deleted DVIDS post.

#Comunicado Venezuela expresses its deep concern about the events that have been developing in the sister Republic of Haiti, and the risks that loom over this nation by resorting to formulas of interference in its sovereignty, which include a greater deterioration of its institutionality and the use, once again, of foreign forces without comprehensive support that guarantees a lasting and stable peace, which opens the way to the economic and social development that the Haitian people require.

The below is attributable to Spokesperson Matthew Miller:

Secretary Blinken and President Ruto underscored the United Nations Security Council’s stated expectation that the Multinational Security Support mission to Haiti deploy as soon as possible to provide support to the Haitian National Police. Secretary Blinken updated President Ruto on commitments by the United States and other international partners to support the mission.

i know about the grotesquely evil french genocides and colonializing, but what does america get out of trying to maintain haiti as an oppressed colony anymore? seems like US has plenty of other exploited colonies that are vastly more profitable and of more strategic value that they could just leave haiti alone with no loss in the us gdp

america no longer really remembers why they do the things they do because no one at the top really knows how the empire was built in the first place
that being said haiti is a key component in america's textile industry, and has a sizeable amount of raw resources
the fact this is all valued so low is, in fact, kind of the point

but what if the united states was loving evil and saw the haitian people as exploitable bodies to increase wealth? back during the duvalier days there was a big business in literally selling blood to america and more recently hillary successfully lobbied to prevent a raise in the minimum wage for the benefit of t-shirt manufacturers

also its telling that the biggest american (and only really functioning) development project is a giant textile factory owned by a korean company

there's also the dominican republic who would love nothing more than to keep haiti destabilized so they don't finish that irrigation canal, which is the main reason they're keeping the border closed
