Haitian government officials said they’ve asked the United States to deploy troops in an auxiliary effort to help shield Haiti’s infrastructure from attack amid the political turbulence the country is experiencing after President Jovenel Moïse’s sudden assassination Wednesday. They requested U.S. forces to help protect Haiti’s port, airport, gasoline reserves, and other facilities. There are concerns that the leader’s murder could exacerbate the already fraught situation in the country, which is afflicted by civil unrest, economic instability, gang violence, and a COVID public health crisis, among other woes.

You have security forces. Use those.

NO US involvement. We have enough issues with our own banana republic right here. Let them call the blue helmets that the US already props up with our tax dollars.
Everyone whines about the US not being the world's policemen. It's time we stop trying to fill that hopeless role.

FTA:The interim prime minister, Claude Joseph, has declared a 15-day “state of siege,” which in effect imposes martial law, in an effort to bring order to the deteriorating, near-anarchical environment
Kamalala is carefully taking notes - preparing for her own 'interim' power trip some day.

Nope, and here's another piece of advice: Don't let the Clintons get anywhere near the relief money.

Why would we do this? The United States should not be involved in Haiti’s political problems.

Deploy American troops to Haiti? What a terrible idea. So you know Biden is going to jump at it.

I'll admit. I'm conflicted. First, they are asking for our help. Second, why would the results of US intervention bring about any different results. Are we going to go in and protect the corrupt establishment.

# 4 - or George Clooney. He basically kept the untold millions he collected for the Haitian earthquake. Never accounted for a penny of it.

We have sent billions of dollars to them over the years; the Clintons were given the job of helping them. How did all of that turn out? It will be just throwing our hard earned tax money down the sewer.

Here's my thought: the assassination was a U.S. /Biden Admin operation (along with Columbian cartel guns) to destabilize the country. These people reaching out are plants to bring U.S. Military in, and eventually take control of Haiti.
Besides, now that Eastern is dead, they need somewhere, out-of-the-way to hide their perversions.

We can't even help ourselves, Haiti. America's as weak as any average nation now; we can't help anyone.

We have our own civil unrest right here in the USA, the treasury borrows 44¢ on every dollar it spends (which the Federal Reserve is glad to lend), and we're incredibly racist against bLACK people too, according to the US government. So why would they look to us for a handout, and why would we oblige?

Just as we're pulling out of one hell-hole country, you want us to go into another one? No Way!

If Trump refused to send troops, the media would declare him a racist (again!)

Are you sure you want them? They’re white supremacists you know.
Yes never let a good crisis go to waste. The klintoons are sending their people in charge of collecting donations to “tour” the museums and the treasury.

"afflicted by civil unrest, economic instability, gang violence, and a COVID public health crisis, among other woes. "
Sounds precisely like the conditions the Left have been working to create on the mainland during this past year. Setting everything up for a flip to "emergency measures" of Authoritarian Socialism. We just need a little more economic instability and a little more COVID crisis... (Cue the new and improved "infrastructure bill" and the new and improved "Delta Variant")

Let's not forget, one of Hillary's chief minions. Laura Silsby, was imprisoned in Haiti for attempting to illegally abduct 33 children. That's a fact, not a conspiracy theory. What is it with the Clinton's and Haiti?

And here are my two "requests" - - 1. What happened to the mega-mall that the Klintoons were supposed to build, creating thousands of jobs for poor Haitians? 2. Who is now running the late, great Tony Rodham's gold mine?
