    Good to see the whatabouters are here already.

    What if I told you it’s possible to do multiple things at the same time? For example, you were probably breathing while you wrote out this brain dead take.

        The US is the largest provider of international food aid by an absurd margin.

          Quick OpenAI query indicates the following.

          Among the top 10 countries that have received the most food aid from the USA, 7 have large debts and all 10 are right-wing and all 10 have a history of suppressing left-wing politics.

          “Aid”

            “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.

                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.
