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?
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.
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.
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!

Wow! This is better than Game of Thrones.
Let Russia or Cuba step in.

What would that look like in your mind?
