Fair response. So really the answer to “Do you support any foreign intervention in Haiti?” is that it’s A) Non-Military and B) Context dependent on who the country is?

Okay, so as I’ve asked on here before, would that include say, Cuba in the form of a non-military intervention?

Okay, but again, does “foreign intervention” mean exclusively the US or every country and all forms of intervention, both military and non-military?

Well I’m not necessarily suggesting a hypothetical scenario where Cuba intervenes with military. There are other forms of intervention that don’t involve military. The US often engages with them, granted their with ulterior motives and a goal of achieving some sort of strategic objective usually backed by western finance/capital.

So I guess that’s what I’m asking. Would you all oppose all forms of intervention from a country like Cuba?

Okay I fully agree that the US has no business intervening in Haiti. That much is obvious.

But are we okay with other countries intervening? What if Cuba wanted to help?

Right that’s my question. How you decipher legitimate popular support vs. fabricated popular support and even if popular support is legitimate, should that make a difference?

Or another way to phrase this. Let’s say all of the sudden, hypothetically of course because this would never happen, the US said “we’re going to support Hamas because they were democratically elected and clearly have the popular support of people in Gaza.” Would anti-interventionalist people say “yeah I guess that’s fine” or continue to draw a hard line against it? Or what if it were the same situation in Bolivia and the US began supporting MAS?

Furthermore, are there other countries that can get involved?

I’d also like to see this quote. Sounds interesting.

Thanks for this response! Very very helpful.

By the way, do you have a link to any source to backup:

despite Chinese folks believing their country is democratic far more than Americans believe the same about the US.

Just curious, what about it is “lib”?

So they’re also doing things like running schools, hospitals, and other infrastructure as well?
