The US previously invaded Haiti in 1915, then intercedes in 1994, after a miltary coup in 1991, and reinstalls a former President (Aristide). Notably they did nothing to help Haiti when Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier were murdering thousands under their dictatorships.

For obvious reasons (ie: we’re still here) it’s never happened. But you can say the same thing about a former US president facing criminal fraud charges in court and the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Just because it never happened before doesn’t mean the conditions are not ripe for it to happen now (or in the near future).

I get that. There’s very few things that are black and white in the world. But the fact remains that allowing nazis ANY leeway at all makes them think they can do whatever they want. And that ain’t the way this game is played.
