When international institutions prove incapable of maintaining order, sovereign nations have a duty to act decisively to protect their citizens, as El Salvador's rescue mission in Haiti makes clear.
Four Salvadoran air force personnel, serving as part of a UN‑backed Gang Suppression Force, were ambushed in the Croix‑des‑Bouquets area while returning from a supply run; their armored vehicle was hit by explosives and set ablaze. President Nayib Bukele identified the captives as technical and medical support staff, not combatants, and issued a blunt ultimatum: return the men alive or face the full weight of a military response.
The kidnapping underscores the collapse of Haiti, where criminal gangs now control roughly 85 percent of Port‑au‑Prince and more than 5,500 lives have been lost to violence in 2024 alone.
In such a vacuum, the principle of sovereignty demands that a government prioritize the safety of its own people over the failed policies of globalist peacekeeping missions.
The same imperative applies to the digital realm, where a decade‑long flaw in PHP—dubbed php2shell—has left an estimated 70 percent of the world's websites vulnerable, prompting urgent directives from the U.S. National Security Agency, the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, and officials in Japan and the EU.
In the Middle East, Iran‑backed Houthi militants have escalated attacks on Saudi airports and energy facilities, killing three and injuring eight at King Fahd International Airport, forcing the State Department to evacuate non‑essential personnel.
At home, the Trump administration's suspension of eight technology giants from the PERM visa program signals a necessary shift toward protecting American labor, ensuring that immigration policy serves the interests of citizens rather than corporate outsourcing.
Only by asserting sovereignty, strengthening national defenses, and placing the welfare of citizens above internationalist agendas can a government fulfill its fundamental duty to maintain law and order.
