Reminds me of Gangs of New York. Too many poverty stricken people with no way to take care of themselves.

It’s completely different

The French knew something the US has yet to learn. History does repeat it's self so sad. For both the US and Haiti.

Learn what exactly? The U.S. already invaded Haiti for two decades in the past.

​@@vesuvio3364now you're begging for foreign intervention to help stabilize that poor dump.

[@vesuvio3364]

@@Bigsloppy903 I'm not advocating for a intervention. Most Haitians believe they can resolve their issues on their own, but the reality is different.

Haiti isn’t so much repeating its past mistakes so much as continuing the downward spiral of destruction it was always on. The US intervention was mostly a net positive, introducing a semblance of democracy and infrastructure. But the culture of violent coups has been engrained in Haiti since it first gained freedom from France. A bloated debt to France and then the US certainly didn’t help, but the issue runs deeper. Can Haiti ever learn to habilitate itself, or will it always be stuck echoing its roots as a nation of violent coups. Liberating itself from the shackles of slavery was the right thing, but it also set the nation on this self-destructive path.
