Maybe it was great diplomacy once, a very long time ago. But foreign aid is used to either bribe or blackmail other countries into doing what we want, especially giving us their natural resources and putting in leaders that we can bargain with. Trump is the epitome of this terrible strategy.

Your administration clearly doesn't believe in diplomacy.

Same with food stamps and every other non-issue the right screams about. Unfortunately repeating bullshit loudly makes it a fact for many.

We need everyone that are not MAGATS to STAND UP and speak out NOW to EVERYONE what is happening. Presidents, ex military, every one of them needs to get loud and Do Something.

It would be even better diplomacy if you fuckers weren't responsible for breaking more than half (being generous here) the recipients of that aid whilst committing enough crimes against humanity to make most despots blush.

this is why they're removing government stats and plan to attack the Brookings institute. Right-wing beliefs require lies and deception

Elon’s beef with pepfar is precisely because it saved so many black lives on the African continent

Reason - everytime a Democratic President increases the AID- GOP shouted it down.

Who cares with 36 Trillion dollar of national debt, that 1% is being borrowed to be given away.
