You would think from watching this segment that the only people who are helping Haitians are US military personnel. And what is all this crap about how fucking wonderful USAID is? Is this an opportunity to clean up the name of that particular entity in this part of the global south?
WTF?
You would think we don't know anything about USAID in Latin America.
Nothing at all
What an absolute crock of bullshit. Heaven forbid any reporting regarding any commie help be reported. A quick Google search should bring up that there are (or were) search and rescue teams from all over the planet working in Haiti.
And really, never mind that Haiti is a basket case and the Dominican Republic is not. And never mind that Haitians are not welcome in the Dominican Republic. No prejudice in Latin America? Nonsense. It may have more to do with poverty and lack of education than actual skin color, but how did that evolve?
Anyway, we did cancel Haiti's debt in the last year. Not that they ever had a chance to get out of debt. It's how the IMF and the World Bank do loans. It's what they do.
