In 1915 Woodrow Wilson sent in the Marines, and we occupied Haiti till 1934. Maybe Biden will want to try it again. If he doesn’t send them to Ukraine first.

I forget the name of the dictator of Haiti in the 90s but he was making noise for a few weeks, Bill Clinton rattled the saber a bit, and Rush Limbaugh predicted that Clinton would fly some troops towards Haiti and the dictator would make it appear that he blinked while accepting a deal.

Well, something like 29 soldiers were issued one magazine of 15 rounds, loaded on a C-130 and it takes off.
Then the “strong man” of Haiti stepped down and “left”, later said to have accepted some suitcases of cash or something like that.
The media fawned over the flying some troops as some great diplomatic strength or something.
