“Sorry places that need more help because their governments are corrupt, we’re going to help out the rising democracies that have fresh water and decent electricity instead, sorry!”

Aid is aid, you give food to the poor and ask for nothing else, that’s what aid is.

Aid as in, I give you food and then you promise to kick any communists you see in the balls, that is not aid. That’s just buying influence, it’s America’s Plan A against anything red. Plan B is coup and Plan C is bombs.

EDIT: Couldn’t come up with a reply so he just downvoted and ran away!

Lmao there are at least 5 peaople that decided to downvote you befpre I even read your response.

Do you think the people that are actually able to make use of the aid America sends cares about the geopolitical ramifications of the aid they are receiving? Charity is always a stunt, be it for your personal moral gratitude or for politcal gain; I’m not sure the recipients of said aid are all too concerned about the reasons they get their anti-malarial drugs this week, or the effectiveness of the propaganda in being able to charge their laptops this week.
