It is morally wrong for the richest nation on earth (and without a clear mandate from it’s own citizens) to shut down international aid entirely.

USAID was created by Kennedy in 1961 to counter the USSR. Perhaps its time to make sure its still needed.

Americans are too addicted to their ubiquitous & quite indiscriminate use of hard power. Removing what little soft power that attempts to balance that is going to make the planet a far more dangerous place for … oh! Americans! Ah well. 🤷🏻‍♂️
