  Theyre gonna find out the hard way.
context: TIL Jamaica had a military >
  
  I was in montego bay and passed a truck full of jamaican military. 
  They mostly do disaster relief and counter terrorism. >
  
  I need some of Dudu’s coke >
  
  Haitians might prefer the gangs to the UN because the UN doesn’t have a great track record in Haiti. Read about it and you’ll understand >
  
  I’ll understand? You just were whooshed by a very simple joke… >
  
  I responded to the wrong person lol. I think I meant to respond to you by saying 'all the coke in my town is already doo-do' >
  
  Ok that makes sense, I was wondering how that could possibly go over anyone’s head lol. But for real, any blow makes me go Dudu so I’m not a fan of the diarrhea powder >
  
  No offense to Jamaica, but I hope they will not try to tackle it alone. Maybe a coalition of neighboring countries? >
  
  I suspect Canada will get involved. We have deep cultural ties to Haiti and we've basically been helping Haiti for the last 30 years. >
  
  Is Canada open to leading a coalition with Jamaica, etc.? >
  
  Our current leadership is very indecisive in terms of peacekeeping missions and military involvement.  I think it's more likely they'll wait for someone else to take the lead (like the UN). >
  
  Hmm... Well, then Haiti has to wait... >
  
  I'm sure that will turn out well. US is over here chainsmoking in the corner like, 'Good luck with that, these things always work out well'. >
  
  This type of international collaboration is what's needed to combat organized crime. >
  
  Haiti is a lost cause. They offer nothing to the world but poverty, there is no incentive for anyone to ruin their own reputation and send their own soldiers home in caskets to try and remove shit out of a sewer. And they will just get mad at whoever comes to try and help them, not to mention the problems with foreign soldiers bringing rape and disease. Haitians just need to find an equilibrium state with their gangs, because sending them money so it can be stolen is not in the interest in anyone outside of Haiti. >
  
  It's a lose lose for the US. We intervene its "American imperialism!!!" We don't intervene it's "America doesn't care about poor people, black people etc"  given that the US is going to get blamed regardless I vote for the solution that doesn't involve throwing more tax dollars into a money pit like Hati. >
  
  If Afghanistan is any indication, we are terrible at nation building a broken nation...and most likely will make the situation worse 
  The USA should stay out. >
  
  What makes you think Haiti is comparable to Afghanistan?
  It's not like intervention has never worked, Kosovo, the first Gulf War, and Bosnia are examples of very successful US-led interventions. >
  
  Your examples were direct military action to end a war between nations/ethnic groups.  
  That isn't the situation in Haiti at all. >
  
  This would also be direct military intervention, just obviously not on the same scale.
  Also that would still make it completely different from Afghanistan. >
  
  Direct military intervention for who exactly?  Haiti doesn't have a functional government. >
  
  What's going on over there? >
  
  Massive Gang violence, protests, general civil unrest, outbreak of cholera, fuel shortages, clean drinking water shortages. 
  Dominican Republic described it as a low intensity civil war >
  
  I wonder why DR hasn’t invaded Haiti, considering they’re right next door >
  
  Because everyone likes to hate on the USA until they need them.
  And no, I'm not American. >
  
  I don't think that's why the DR hasn't invaded Haiti >
  
  Agreed. Everyone liking to hate on the US until they need them would be a strange reason for DR not to invade Haiti. >
  
  Because the DR described it as a low intensity civil war >
  
  That’ll go well. The JDF is an absolute joke of an organization. >
  
  What's Central America's overall military capabilities? Could they try to form some kind of coalition effort?
  Start by making it clear to the Haitian citizens that they're trying to help with leaflets or something. Take their sweet time fixing stuff from one end of the country to the other as opposed to trying to address every region at once. >
  
  Weak, under funded, unruly,  self serving >
  
  What could go wrong? >
  
  Rastamarines landing on the shore >
  
  They should probably deal with the gangs in Jamaica first >
  
  Has Jamaica ever fought anyone? >
  
  I googled it and it seems like they helped the US in its invasion of Grenada in the 80s. >
  
  Can't wait for the glorious Jamaican Empire to arise >
  
  You know what they say “15th time is the charm.” >
  
  Didn't realize how bad it was there until I watched Indigo Traveller's videos on it...good fucking luck >
  
  Thank you, Jamaica! >
  
  Hell yeah Jamaica stepping up for a brutally long frustrating situation
