One common pushback I get when talking to people about Haiti is something like:
Is your proposal for the world to not be involved and let Haiti sort itself out?
The very obvious answer there is "yes" but pushback to that is "what if the people of Haiti ask for help?" which is a question I don't have a great answer to. Obviously, if popular support is legitimate and not fabricated, is the answer that we should help them? Should other countries who don't have as disastorous of a record as the US help out?
And just to clarify another talking point, but the UN intervening is essentially the same thing as the US intervening, right? The latter is just a proxy for the former at this point, no?
If Cuba were to decide to help Haiti, I would hope they did a good job of it. I imagine that theUS would take issue with any contact between Haiti and Cuba though. My judgment would depend on what the country did to help. I can think of a lot of countries that would just represent the blob's interests or intervene to create whatever's best for shareholders
