i hate that we've become this country

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.

Thinking on disasters like the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunamis absent USAID's coordinating abilities and resources. Other countries, as yet, don't have the capacity to fill the gap. If it happened today tens of thousands more would die

the US is not a perfect nation, but we were the nation that the world turned to in situations like this and now we're just letting people die

South Sudan is rapidly sliding back into civil war. There’s fighting west of the capital and armed groups are invading NGO compounds and kidnapping people. The last civil war there killed 400k people. I honestly don’t think this would have happened if Kamala won. Trump=chaos.

I have been repeatedly assured that cutting off that tentacle of empire that we use to subjugate & exploit people by giving them food & medicine is a good thing.

I'll do whatever I can to fix this, but also feel very unsure about what that might be

If this is true NBC is a liar.

So many people too that have been convinced by GOP efforts that we’re spending too much money abroad (a tiny % of our budget to begin with) instead of on True Americans despite the GOP also opposing any attempts to spend on domestic welfare.
