Most governments don’t want USAID funds flowing into their countries because they understand where much of that money actually ends up.
While marketed as support for development, democracy, and human rights, the majority of these funds are funneled into opposition groups, NGOs with political agendas, and destabilizing movements.
At best, maybe 10% of the money reaches real projects that help people in need (there are such cases), but the rest is used to fuel dissent, finance protests, and undermine administrations that refuse to align with the globalist agenda.
Cutting this so-called aid isn’t just beneficial for the United States; it’s also a big win for the rest of the world.

ReplyDeleteNEW - Zelensky claims Ukraine only received around $75 billion of the $177 billion in aid that was sent from the United States.
"I don't know where all this money is."
@disclosetv
Most of the Ukraine military aid budget is actually spent in the US to replace the materiel sent to Ukraine, or in the case of old equipment or munitions that is not being replaced, it is a necessary accounting entry to credit the inventory value transferred to Ukraine.
DeleteThat is clearly aid out in the Ukraine aid legislation, only some people Buat Dunno, to allege mega corruption.
Even my most junior accounts clerk understands why that is done.
Spicy sauce...

We are not even 2 weeks into Trump’s administration, and the USAID is already being purged, and now Elon is openly pointing out the USAID’s role in producing bioweapons like C19 that killed millions.
Ladies and gentlemen… I think we did it.
I think it’s actually happening…
If we continue on this trajectory, Deep State oligarchs and NGOs will be directly implicated in crimes against humanity, and the world will demand justice.
The right people are in control of government, and they know where the bodies are buried.
Headsup...KC? Is he still in control?

ReplyDeleteIt's becoming clearer and clearer that we're looking at a seismic shift in the US's relationship with the world, between:
1) The US dismantling its foreign interference apparatuses (like USAID 👇)
2) Marco Rubio stating that we're now in a multipolar world with "multi-great powers in different parts of the planet" (state.gov/secretary-marc…) and that "the postwar global order is not just obsolete; it is now a weapon being used against us" (foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…)
3) The tariffs on supposed "allies" like Mexico, Canada or the EU
This is the US effectively saying "our attempt at running the world is over, to each his own, we're now just another great power, not the 'indispensable nation'."
It looks "dumb" (as the WSJ just wrote) if you are still mentally in the old paradigm but it's always a mistake to think that what the US (or any country) does is dumb.
Hegemony was going to end sooner or later, and now the U.S. is basically choosing to end it on its own terms. It is the post-American world order - brought to you by America itself.
Even the tariffs on allies, viewed under this angle, make sense, as it redefines the concept of "allies": they don't want - or maybe rather can't afford - vassals anymore, but rather relationships that evolve based on current interests.
You can either view it as decline - because it does unquestionably look like the end of the American empire - or as avoiding further decline: controlled withdrawal from imperial commitments in order to focus resources on core national interests rather than being forced into an even messier retreat at a later stage.
In any case it is the end of an era and, while the Trump administration looks like chaos to many observers, they're probably much more attuned to the changing realities of the world and their own country's predicament than their predecessors. Acknowledging the existence of a multipolar world and choosing to operate within it rather than trying to maintain an increasingly costly global hegemony couldn't be delayed much further. It looks messy but it is probably better than maintaining the fiction of American primacy until it eventually collapses under its own weight.
This is not to say that the U.S. won't continue to wreak havoc on the world, and in fact we might be seeing it become even more aggressive than before. Because when it previously was (badly, and very hypocritically) trying to maintain some semblance of self-proclaimed "rules-based order", it now doesn't even have to pretend it is under any constraint, not even the constraint of playing nice with allies. It's the end of the U.S. empire, but definitely not the end of the U.S. as a major disruptive force in world affairs.
All in all this transformation may mark one of the most significant shifts in international relations since the fall of the Soviet Union. And those most unprepared for it, as is already painfully obvious, are America's vassals caught completely flat-footed by the realization that the patron they've relied on for decades is now treating them as just another set of countries to negotiate with.
USAID is a key partner in the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). PEPFAR is the world's largest national commitment to HIV treatment.
ReplyDeleteWhat PEPFAR does
Provides HIV prevention, care, support, and treatment services
Provided lifesaving AIDS treatment to more than 7.7 million people.
Tell me again most Government's oppose USAID funds ?
His UNGA speech from the first administration revisited, in particular, in 2018 speech of nationalism versus globalism, plus the speech at Davos in January. The notice was given back then...

Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers star center, age 30+
ReplyDeleteLuka Doncic (Slovenia), Dallas Maverick, age ~25
Was kinda shocked to read about it in sm last night...
On a second, third, or fourth thought about it, could it another one of distraction to what is ongoing in the US? Look at it this way, sport media and fan are talking incessantly about it. The key persons, Davis and Doncic and LAL primadonna, LeBron James only knew about while having dinner...a look here, not there diversion? How long will it last against the firestorm happening at the political and geopolitical fronts?

I have read comments that suggested by the time the dust settled, Ukraine will be like what was Yugoslavia. How true? Time will tell.

It’s a big club but you aren’t invited…
Zelensky warned Trump and Putin against negotiations without him:
"They can have their own relations, but talking about Ukraine without us is dangerous for everyone."
