And that they don’t send out folks directly but fund charities and NGOs to meet certain goals.
Like “HIV Prevention workshops” that are actually regime change ops. Like funneling aid for Haiti to the chaps. Why give money to the Haitian government or construction companies when you can hire a US one which takes the money and has a record of leaving its projects unfinished?
Tip of the fucking iceberg. USAIDs main business was foreign interference, advancement of neoliberal policies, and legalised corruption. Maybe the reason state building failed in Afghanistan is because you left it to clowns with gilded noses.
…it’s also, yes, occasionally doing good things. Like help bring down apartheid in South Africa. Which is why Musk hates it which is why it got the axe once Musk had one to swing. It’s one of those plotlines that, in a movie, would be considered to be too far-fetched.
Current estimates on the effects of cutting USAID funding are one million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade.
Go fund the World Food Programme and the Word Health Organisation, instead. Go pay your fucking UN dues. Don’t stand there and declare your self-interest and corruption to be the world’s saviour when saving people is, at best, an afterthought. Usually it’s a fig leaf, something to bleed liberal hearts with. Seems to be working with you, at least.
