Foreign aid is an investment in future trade partners and allies. It pays off 100 fold. But the right is determined to concede their soft power and future GDP growth to nations like China in order to save Americans $200 on their taxes and "own the libs". We're watching an empire die in realtime. 5/5

What baffles me is why this woefully ignorant strategy is embraced by the richest of the rich. Undermining the US’ soft power, a source of global stability, only sows chaos & uncertainty in their financial futures. Why jeopardize a lifestyle of fortune & privilege? RU & CN will fill the power vacuum

also, it's a tool for domestic use as well.

all this shit we send to ukraine or otherwise around the world, where does it come from? all that food rotting in houston warehouses, well, we aren't buying it from american farmers anymore.

stupid at both ends.

The amount of people that don't get this is staggering and somewhat scary. Foreign aid isn't a freebie given with zero return, it's a business decision.
