Asked about a potential US invasion of Haiti, @AOC stumbles through a statement opposing it but adds qualifiers that it’d be bad “right now” and “without any sort of plan.” She won’t outright reject it because her career ambitions are too great. pic.twitter.com/flbY677sg1— Dan Cohen (@dancohen3000) July 18, 2021
Okay wait, is this being framed as an invasion by Amy Goodman; the same thing as a few days ago when the Haitian government asked for US troops to come? Or is this some other new invasion thing? Cus there's a difference between invading like we did Afghanistan and Iraq and coming to help an ally with a huge riot----depending on which side the US is taking that is. If we're supporting whoever killed their president and opposing the people's will then yea invasion-ish, but if it's a legit government then....idk it seems different than just an "invasion".
Right. There is no one on the island who even has the legitimacy to call for military intervention. Who? The remnants of the Moïse administration who have spent the past year brutally suppressing the public? Someone from the NGO industrial complex? The local bourgeoisie?
In all cases, it is just the US wearing sock puppets and having the right hand ask the left hand for boots. You won't ever see a mass proletarian demonstration asking for boots. These folks have been burning US flags regularly.

Ok, so I know the armed US convey mowing people down in a major city center looks bad, but I think it's unreasonable to compare this particular incident to Collateral Murder and here's why...
