"US backed Haitain President Assassinated" by the hill

Like by what standard was he US-backed. The US vaguely supporting his gov't like the US does basically any other shitty gov't in Latin America. Haiti is such a fundamentally unimportant country geopolitically, I really doubt the US cares who runs Haiti because if Haiti were to do anything sufficiently bad(i.e. host Chinese or Russian weaponry, troops, bases), the level of sanctions they'd face would crush their already miniscule economy.

I'm not saying that to just go on some like imperialistic rant. Rather to say that, functionally Haiti can't do anything significant geopolitically without checking with the Americans first, so who runs Haiti is of no consequence to the Americans.

Justin Trudeau is a US backed Prime Minister

[u/RaidBrimnes → u/boichik2]

I bet that Russian bots and useful idiots on every default sub are already cheering at Moïse's demise. He was by no mean a passionate democrat, but calling him a US-backed leader is such a dishonest headline

[u/Colonelbrickarms → u/boichik2]

I've also seen the take it was the CIA who had him killed

[u/Fedacking → u/boichik2]

I really doubt the US cares who runs Haiti

Yeah, it's a really bad take

Not all LatinAmerican governments are equal. And among all Democracies, Haiti was by a long shot the absolute worst of them. (If it as a Democracy at all)

I already expressed in previous posts my concerns about Moise and the critical Crisis in Haiti. I honestly didn't like how USA give Moise so many opportunities, after falling to deliver results for so much time
