I’m not certain USAID sends financial aid or rather if they provide services paid by their budget. And yes, the US does receive foreign aid in emergency cases. You have probably forgotten already, but there were some pretty bad fires lately that Canada helped fight with their CL-415s. Because, you know, money doesn’t usually solve any issue but debt. It won’t take out a fire or end a pandemic.
No country does foreign aid out of goodness. It puts your own companies into these countries.
I’m not saying the US has any obligation to provide foreign aid. But don’t portray them as a country that gets explored by other nations. The only ones exploring the US are the rich. The US is wealthy enough, possibly even the wealthiest large nation on earth. It wouldn’t be if they just gave all money or whatever away. It’s just a lie to keep you distracted.

And I’m still happy about it.
You call me a delusional fool, but Trump won, so I guess it’s time for the delusional fools to shine, right?
Maybe the Democrats shouldn’t have tried to scam the public. Seems like there were some fools in charge of them too. :)

I didn’t vote for Trump. But I AM one of those laughing about how much Lemmy and the Democrats fucked up when it came the the election. :)
