Yeah .. was reading about this yesterday

Haiti is so close and we wouldnt have to worry about the ME logistics and geo politics

Id love for us to get involved but with our country divided/looming recession it would just be gas on fire

and of course .. haiti has zero resources or value to us

A major concern is the potential collapse of the DR. Eventually this will flood over the border more. 50 years ago making this a US territory would make sense if the government (s) would agree to it. Now...

Anybody wonder if China or Russia would step in make a favorable political ally in our backyard? I wouldn't be surprised if China did this.
