Why can US invade Afghanistan and Iraq, but not Haiti? Or is it that they fear they would have to face gang members instead of civilians?

[molotovh]

Do you think that those invasions went well for the people of Afghanistan and Iraq? Do you think there were no armed gangs in those countries? Do you think the U.S. has any prurient interest in repeating or revisiting those operations?

The US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan for oil and vengeance for 9/11, but Haiti has nothing the US wants.

The people of Iraq and Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9/11. It was for oil.

The US has lost all desire for war post-Iraq. We're happy to arm Ukraine, but in the 60s? We would have absolutely had boots on the ground.

America got tired of getting its ass handed to it (especially morally) in Korea and Vietnam.
