BacktoCricaddict Posted February 16, 2025 Posted February 16, 2025 (edited) Misguided and wasteful use of funds does not equate to a deep conspiracy to overthrow governments. Often these organizations blindly fund minority groups who position themselves as victims of majoritarianism and seek assistance. While I am glad that such wasteful spending is being reined in, gutting organizations completely is a travesty. The USAID, over the decades, has also contributed positively to the mitigation of HIV-AIDS in the developing world. Of course, now that it is proven that AIDS is not caused by HIV, we can dismiss those efforts too as wasteful spending and shut the whole thing down.

My sense is that USAID was started with the genuine intent of providing developmental assistance to people who needed it - regardless of where they were. I don't see anything wrong with that, especially in nations ravaged by war, corruption, deep poverty and no hope for people. Rich nations have an obligation to help in such situations. Moreover, global security and development is in the national interest, especially in maintaining stable cargo movement and supply-chains. Where things went out of control is that they were easily swayed by all and sundry claims of victim-hood and exploitation. Now, the pendulum is swinging the other way - with guys like Musk who think that they must obliterate everything that every social program provides, instead of making honest assessments of what people need.

They rave about "deep state" while supporting the richest guy in the world as unelected emperor and another billionaire as president I mean even animals have more intelligence than this, crying about deep state while supporting unelected billionaires ruling as emperors.

What happens in America is going to affect them. That's the thing right, so long they were comfortable spreading hatred and regression and communalism in india because their families were comfortably living in liberal countries where their cushy lives won't be affected with whats happening in india But they made the mistake of spreading same thing in the country where they are living as immigrants and voted in a party who hates immigrants. They will find first hand how hatred spread against minorities can ruin lives. When they are kicked out and come running back they will be in for another surprise if they think they will be welcomed back with open arms here. Vicks57 1

While US has used USAID as an instrument of foriegn policy, there are no free lunches.

You have nothing intelligent to say , other than calling other posters names in your echo chambers. First pay up some tax dollars and see it being spent on a trans concerts in Ukraine.

coffee_rules Posted February 17, 2025 Posted February 17, 2025 Read this @New guy for a prospective and shift in opinion. It is not too late to accept the new world order. The 20th century liberal democratic model is going the same way as the great 20th century totalitarianisms it defined itself against. Yet — as reflected in liberal discourse where the assumption made is that politics is a binary choice between liberalism and fascism — liberals are still trapped in the 20th century, fighting ghosts, even as the world has already moved on. https://unherd.com/2025/01/liberalism-wont-survive-the-year/ raki05 1
