Haiti: Cauldron of the Caribbean
As Haiti grapples with an unprecedented crisis, the spectre of state collapse under the weight of rampant gang violence has cast a long shadow over its future. The Caribbean nation, once a beacon of freedom and resistance, now finds itself mired in a power struggle that pits armed gangs against each other in a bid for dominance of the nation, leaving civilians caught in the crossfire. Amid this chaos, the international community watches with bated breath as plans for an intervention loom on the horizon, sparking debates on sovereignty, the efficacy of foreign assistance, and the potential for lasting peace. Yet, the success of such an intervention hinges on a myriad of factors, including the willingness of local actors to cooperate and the ability of external forces to navigate the complex socio-political terrain of Haiti. With the stakes higher than ever, the question remains: Can the proposed intervention quell the violence and restore stability to this beleaguered nation, or will the chaos simply continue? To answer that, we turn to our panel of experts:
On the panel this week:

After all this time hearing the podcast, it's heartwarming to hear how the "thanks" part at the end keeps getting longer, great job guys!
Excellent! I'm very excited for this episode!
if i had to nominate countries that have had it hard for centuries and continue to be really bad for its citizens, haiti as well as congo are probably top 2.. they had one of the worst treatments during colonialism, and so much instability, chaos, poverty, and violence after independence. no end in sight too.
What an excellent podcast and primer on the subject. Well done to the crew, "Jolly good show"...well, except the prognosis on Haiti.
There is little upside to helping Haiti, except merely avoiding a spill-over of problems. The only real long-term solution would require lots of boots on the ground and kinetic involvement before anything could be built. Not yet politically feasible, though I hope it comes to that soon. Then rebuilding with an uneducated, corrupt and undisciplined population would be a huge challenge. Letting a failed state become a narco-State would be disastrous and complicate global efforts against organized crime.
Quality content here! I worry about training up the Hatian police force before there is an acceptable leader as we might be training future gang members. Who can you trust in Haiti with the monopoly on violence? Are there individuals who have the potential to rise to the occasion?
These people do this everywhere they go
Haiti: the land of copes
I can seeing this happening all around the world eventually especially in Australia
Wow! This is better than Game of Thrones.

Let Russia or Cuba step in.
As a true journalist and historian you should do a non western biased/distorted version of the the Palestine/Israeli Crisis. Id say it’s sort of your duty to talk about this and educate people on the truth. I have high expectations.
