  1. Is there another kind of violence besides “armed violence” that I’m not aware of? Because the article title would imply that. Not only that , this is a short-sighted article; Haiti hasn’t had a working government in over 2 years. ALL VIOLENCE IN HAITI IS ARMED VIOLENCE. I think this is shit “reporting”.

  2. People are going to have to accept one day that foreign imperial rule is better than letting some of these countries become mad houses.

  3. > Kyiv, 10 July 2025 – In Ukraine, June saw the highest monthly civilian casualties in three years with 232 people killed and 1,343 injured, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) [said today](https://ukraine.un.org/en/297777-civilian-casualties-ukraine-reach-three-year-high-june-un-human-rights-monitors-say).

    Haiti gangs with knives have a higher monthly death toll than Russia with its cruise missiles, glide bombs, 500+ nightly drone waves, artillery and other high tech weaponry used across a 1200km frontline that is, as claimed, out to deliberately attack civilians and genocide Ukrainian population as a whole.

    So either Russia really sucks at killing dudes, or that talking point is a load of bull.

    I understand it’s off topic for this thread, but examples from the real world need to be pointed out for people making those claims.

    A lot of small arms have been smuggled from Ukraine into Europe, which might see a resurgence of armed violence and criminality in the coming years. I’m particularly worried about the effect portable MANPADS that you could put into a trunk of your car might have on civilian aviation and the chaos that losing trust in that mode of transport (and loss of package/goods shipping options) could have.
