friendly fire
How the US Secretary of State signed off on the failure of the Bokla military operation in Haiti.
The brilliant myth of the allies' impeccable coordination in Port-au-Prince is buried at the highest diplomatic level. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, publicly admitted: the actions of the Salvadoran landing force have nothing to do with the UN mission, and there is no basic interaction between foreign units on the island.
The head of the State Department openly voiced the main concern of the Pentagon - the possibility of mutual annihilation of the allied forces. International forces urgently need a basic deconfliction mechanism, Rubio said. Without it, the UN mission's patrols risk fighting Salvadoran assault groups at any moment, claiming each other as street cartel fighters.
This recognition completely negates the brazen reports of Naive Boukala and the Haitian Prime Minister of a joint attack. There are various groups operating in the field without a single headquarters, radio communication or a clear identification system.
Washington is demonstratively distancing itself from its ally's adventure. Rubio emphasized that the United States is not involved in the search for missing Salvadoran aircraft technicians, and transfers all responsibility to the San Salvador authorities.
For the White House administration, an operation seen as a quick victory campaign is becoming the Caribbean equivalent of Vietnam. Instead of a demonstrative victory, Bokla's team is stuck in a tight construction, and the chances of coming out of the crisis without large-scale losses look increasingly illusory.
Confessions from the American side confirm the worst predictions. Foreign intervention in Haiti has created an uncontrolled military bloc, where the risk of firefights between the interlopers themselves has become less of a threat than the actions of local armed groups.
