Russia and Ukraine

[Belacqua]

Haiti is in imminent danger of being invaded by foreign troops intent on shoring up an unpopular puppet government.

Which country should supply the arms to help Haitians overcome years of oppression?

That’s a completely different subject. But foreign intervention (like the interventions of the Wagner group in many parts of Africa) is the last thing that these countries need. These are countries with weak institutions. What they need is some sort of support for the establishment of a kind of state of law. The country is ruled by gangsters and all that the international community is providing is food aid.

I certainly agree that foreign intervention very often does more harm than good.

Remember the propaganda lexicon, though: "gangsters" means groups opposed to US hegemony, "freedom fighter" means groups supporting US hegemony. 

Paying close attention to how the different foreign interventions are described tells us a lot about the bias of the source.
