A new nation comprising all Caribbean nations which would become provinces/states of the greater whole. What an idea; a united powerful Caribbean nation that can work for itself, develop and protect itself.
There is a distinct and necessary moment in time when a group must unite and facilitate the Confederacy of itself for its own protection, management and policing. For the Caribbean that time is now. A United Caribbean, a New United Nation!
Most superpowers look upon the Caribbean nations as ports of call, places to hide their money and send their tourists too. China, America, Britain, France, and the Arab world manage to control much of the Islands; infrastructure, ports, hotels and have undue influence upon the Caribbean political realities.
Haiti is a perfect example. Abused by colonialists like France, their independence brought only oppression, tyranny and exploitation from the international community’s financial sector. Now their capital is overrun by gangsters and villains and Haiti’s Government had to go to international organizations to attempt to bring their Island under control. Kenyan Soldiers in Haiti? The Caribbean can outwit and overcome all its political-security needs as a united force.
The job of protecting a Caribbean nation’s security, protecting its citizens must fall into the hands of a United Caribbean Confederation, not foreign influenced. Combining the region’s: wealth, international influence, police and military capabilities, a United Caribbean can make do without the undue influences of: China, America and other political-financial vultures.
Like Quebec, the Caribbean must protect its: culture, natural resources, population and future development from the international manipulation that it has experienced for hundreds of years. Enslavement comes in many forms, and it does not matter who the slave traders are, be it: financial-political colonists, China expansionists, American capitalists or European adventurists. A united Caribbean stands a better chance working together for its own benefit, and not the benefit of old-time exploiters, abusers and building a wealthy and prosperous region lies in selfish determination.
Americans, China and others care firstly about their needs, not those of: Haiti, Jamaica, Guyana, or the Caribbean region.
The Caribbean comes first, second and last. A United Caribbean can survive and develop its future economic and political challenges.
