U.N. considering sending troops to Haiti amid deteriorating security
[UPI] The United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
 is considering sending armed troops to Haiti following a request from the country's government, U.N. officials confirmed on Sunday night.
"Bring condoms"
U.N. chief António Guterres said the agency is considering deploying armed forces "to help the country address immense humanitarian concerns."

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry made the request for help to the larger international community as a whole over the weekend because of "the risk of a major humanitarian crisis." Ariel asked for a "specialized armed force" to intervene.

Guterres sent a letter to the U.N. Security Council outlining various options for enhanced security support. Haiti is dealing with rising cases of cholera after having none for three years, and continual violence perpetrated by numerous different gangs.

The situation has tanked since then president Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in his home in 2021.

Last month, gangs blockaded Haiti's main fuel port, leading to gas and diesel shortages, and causing businesses and hospitals to shut down.

The U.S. State Department confirmed on Saturday that it was also reviewing the request.

"We are closely following the worsening health and security situation in Haiti, particularly the ongoing actions by criminal actors that impede urgent measures to address the threat posed by the spread of cholera to the Haitian population," department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.

#3 But no peacekeepers for Ukraine. Oh, but I guess you (UN, et al) would have to (1) want peace and (2) have a dialogue.

#7 I would like to see the Dominicans take care of Haitian security going forward. My plan follows the principles of subsidiarity and will reduce response times to the 5 yearly Haitian disasters.

#8 I think we need to ask the question:

"How a nuclear exchange with Haiti could help solve Global Warming."

We should send Conan O'Brian.

#9 1964 Peacekeeping mission in Cyprus is still ongoing. Some places are broken and will never get fixed, and Haiti would be the poster-child for this.

Haiti is a failed nation state and NOT a part of the United States, despite the Clinton's efforts. Aside from graft and corruption, there is not a single national security interest of the United States that warrants US involvement! Enough moronic virtue-signaling by the moronic children at Foggy Bottom. The credit card is maxxed out at $32 trillion!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Africa is running out of virgin maidens to 'feed'?

#12 Been there done that. After the Duvaliers and Tonton Macoute - was nobody theere alive in the 1980's and 1990's? Does anyone read or know history? Operation Uphold Democracy ring a bell?

This goes all the way back to Woodrow Wilson sending the Marines in to help the banks in 1915.

Why are we even thinking about going in again? Until Haitian society changes, and they get desperate enough to change, nothing there will change. Just let them feed each other to the dogs.
