probably half of that "aid" is just us buying intel, access to naval and air refueling stations on the other side of the globe, access to rare earth metals, access to oil, votes in international matters, etc for pennies on the dollar. that "aid" is very good for us.
but yeah, the other half is stuff like educational genderspecial porn for brown people

lol, none of that stuff needs to be "bought"/can easily be attained thrpugh pressure from other means. Also the USAID isnt the only dept that furnishes such wasteful use of taxpayer dollars on "foriegn aid". We should cut off all foreign aid. Most countries do fine without it, butt unlike them we have the worlds largest economy and most advanced military.

subhuman brokebrain stuff but its whatever
DURR WE CAN like JUST THREATEN ANYONE ANYWHERE TO GIVE US WHATEVER WE WANT as if we have the leverage to do that to literally everyone but go off i guess
also like meanwhile russia and china do foreign aid the way i suggested, telling poors frick yeah, well give you a million NEETbux per year if you sign a 100-year lease on your airbase thats sitting right on top of an oil field
we can boss around colombia, canada, mexico, etc, but how tf are we gonna boss around anyone in the south china sea if china's offering money and protection without your blustering bullshit?

thats a great way to describe yourself.
thats not the way the USAID was doing it butt go off
whats my blustering bullshit? Also the USAID doesnt offer protection, subhuman, thats the US militarh. Also the USAId was hardly the only agency giving US taxpayer dollars to foriegn nations/only avenue for foreign aid. Butt you wouldnt get that bc ur dumb as shit with your subhuman brokebrain.

The money goes to various CIA schemes worldwide, not actual aid. USAID directly got caught in a scheme to overthrow Maduro in Venezuela.

Was the scheme called "accepting the results of the election"?
