What good would an Apology from the USA do to us?

it wont bring back the dead nor heal the pain it cause to many families who’s only crime was having a family member voting for the wrong party in the USA’s eyes. It wont stop the corruption or the organzed crime the US supported for decades, heck even today they still medley in our affairs, in Haiti in 2004, In 2009 honduras, they tried to start a war in Venezuela with a bunch of mercenaries, they backed a coup in boliva against Evo, they supported and backed people like bolsonaro who did a genocide in the amazon, and to this day they still continue the blockade of Cuba.

there would be no good from an apology because they dont mean it, Democrats are just as imperialist as Republicans, and no amount of DSA members will change that.

she’s Nancy Pelosi for the new generation. she’s going to acknowledge the US’s wrongdoings from decades ago, use some ‘bodies in spaces’ talk, yet still support the same foreign policy that led us here.

The only thing I believe that the USA could do for Haiti would be return the money they took when the USA assumed Haiti’s debt to France. France should pay back the rest obviously adjusted for inflation

Yes. The past can’t be changed but real action in the present could go a long way towards improving relations.

The American Government doesn’t care about it’s people let alone anyone else - a hollow apology will not achieve a damn thing because they’ll continue to disrupt foreign governments like they have for the last century and change.

An apology spoken by a few reps is not “real action in the present”
