U.S. military once trained Colombians implicated in Haiti assassination plot

Of course, we did. Because this kind of policy has never come back to bite us in the ass before.


And I did read this part clearly in that.

The Pentagon’s review is ongoing, Hoffman said. He did not say how many of the men received training or precisely what it entailed.

Are you aware that some of the training might simply be in languages, or a correspondence course how to balance a budget? Or maybe tracking people in a jungle, or operating in a desert?

Kinda soon to go running off the rails, until we actually have some information.
 
The training "might" have been those things but it wasn't. It was noted here that the assassins were U.S. trained when this first happened.
 
President Woodrow Wilson sent in the Marines after the assassination of the Haitian president in July 1915. The US occupied the island until 1934.

We should do the same now, my friends
 
because it's America's job, as leader of the free world, to intervene military anywhere there is a crisis
No where in the US Constitution does does it say it's America's job.
In fact, the Founding Fathers spoke against our country getting involved in foreign entanglements. ... :cool:

And the rest of the planet made a point of making sure we were never left alone and proving isolationism and neutrality were impossible and a delusional fantasy that even Jefferson found to be completely unworkable as a policy. That's why we would much rather fight wars on other peoples' lands than wait for the vermin to overrun ours before acting. Only idiots would whine about whether or not that is 'fair' to our enemies or not, as if that is a requirement.

And that is exactly true.

Jefferson was a staunch Isolationist. But rather quickly as President he discovered the folly of that, as well as a great many things.

Which is why when the pirates of the Barbary Coast were getting paid ransoms for people kidnapped (or they would be sold into slavery if not paid), Jefferson went to war with them. And even that was only after a fight with Congress as he thought that a Declaration of War would be needed before sending US forces abroad. And Congress basically responded by saying he did not.

No, that is the job of the UN. And to be honest, it has shown to be pretty much impossible.

I myself was literally a hair-breath away from being sent to Haiti in 1987. Literally on the runway, full combat load, C-130s warmed up across the runway. Then the President changed his mind and we went back to base.

But there have been almost constant UN peacekeeping and intervention missions in Haiti for over 30 years now. The most recent ended in 2018. And every time things start to get stable again, they leave and the country quickly falls apart again. Like Lebanon, it seems to be a country that is "broken", and just can not stabilize itself and remain a peaceful and prosperous country.

And it can not even be blamed on location, as it shares the island with the Dominican Republic, and they are stable and a prosperous country.

Wilson hated Blacks. And plus he removed the Black ambassadors and replaced them with White guys throughout the areas.
Then they started draining these countries from their natural resources. But Cuba revolted.

But now they have erased everything that they Haitians knew about surviving off the land. That they are dependent on others to help them. But when Cuba made their big step. They have had a hard time training the people to learn how to farm.
Like we are dependent on the Globalist to take care of us. But we can't venture out on our own. That we are so dependent on them, that we are willing to hand over our children or our organs to them.


President Wilson also refused to appoint black ambassadors to Santa Domingo and Haiti, appointments that were naturally reserved for African Americans. Two of members of President Wilson’s Cabinet, Treasury Secretary William McAdoo and Postmaster General Albert Burleson who were both southerners gave orders for segregation in their departments. Blacks were segregated or dismissed from their federal positions all across the country. The head of the internal revenue division in Georgia fired all employees. He argued that there were no government jobs for the black people in the South and that a Negroes place was in the cornfield

In 1975 and not 1965. You can't refute that.
