Kim Jong Un no longer craziest Leader!

Most of USaid went to the Ukraine.

The vast majority of international aid is used to reduce famine, disease and aid refugees of war and natural disasters. Are you opposed to this type of aid Wilton?

No im not but you missed my point here.

[chuckChuck]

So you guys don't support disaster and famine relief? Huh?

Here is some of what USAid funded:

"USAID has distributed more than $30 billion in direct financial support to the government of Ukraine between fiscal years 2022 and 2024, according to the CRS ([url]https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF12305[/url]).

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) implement the majority (52%) of USAID programs, while public international organizations administer 34%, the U.S. government is responsible for about 10% and foreign governments implement about 4%, according to a CRS study ([url]https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R48150[/url]) of USAID non-military funding between fiscal years 2013-2022.

Among public international organizations, which are formed via a partnership between foreign governments, the World Bank Group was the top recipient of non-military USAID assistance, receiving more than $20 billion between fiscal years 2013 and 2022, followed by the World Food Program, which received more than $15 billion.?"

Meanwhile the Nazi saluting Musk who supports Germany's far right, is so toxic that Tesla and X are losing significant market share.

Your living in the distant past.
You describe what foreign aid was originally designed for.
No one begrudges that type of aid.

Most of USaid went to the Ukraine.

Uh oh, you will face the wrath of forage for referring to The Ukraine as The Ukraine. What decade are you getting your news from? I suppose you still pronounce Kiev with 2 syllables the way it has been for centuries too?

Do you think the NAFO trolls and all of Ukrainian media who were being entirely funded by USAID were comprised of starving children?

Chuck has never met a left wing media hoax that he didn't fall for hook line and sinker. Then advertises his gullibility by bragging about it on Social Media.

If Trump and musks intentions are truly just then after usaid they rip into corporate welfare and unnecessary subsidies. I’ll believe it. We think the government here is too involved in our lives but realistically the USA probably is more so. Trump’s thinking is from pre ww1 when it was a lot more isolated from the world order. It is easier for them to go this route than any other nation until they run out of oil. Enter Canada.

This is why the democrats lost the election. Most of their energy was put into slagging Trump and being tone deaf to the electorate and not offering a better plan. They acted like opposition and not worthy of being government. This is a good lesson for our Conservative Party and I hope they take it to heart. I hope Chuck if you want to win the hearts and minds you take it to heart.

Flood the zone . . . . Interesting article with Steve Bannon talking about Trumps strategy.

Still none of the usual suspects stand up to support famine and disaster relief?
That sadly says it all!

What a laugh with Jordy comparing Democrats to far right Musk!

None of those people support the far right neo nazis in Germany like Felon Musk does! But maybe you can't tell the difference! LOL

The Musk nazi memes are all over social media.

And he can't get rid of them!

Awe too bad social media can bite your ass back there Felon!

So Chuck since we probably don’t vote in USA elections yet, how do we ensure our own foreign aid goes to foreign disaster relief and poverty reduction vs being a money laundering instrument? Don’t paint everyone here as not supporting soft power projection through foreign aid. That’s what it is. Kennedy said so himself when implementing USAID. Nothing wrong with people knowing where this money is going and to make sure it is going to the right places instead of terrorists or pushing political narratives. Kind of odd our government wiped publicly available information of where our foreign aid is going.

This thread title keeps reminding me of that time that agstar so generously told Chuck that he's not the worst poster on Agriville.

He must have been so flattered by that rare compliment that he decided to extend it to dear leader.
