Summary
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the completion of the Trump administration’s six-week purge of USAID programs, eliminating 83% of the agency’s initiatives.
The remaining 18% will move under State Department control.
The administration claims eliminated programs “did not serve the core national interests” of the US. Critics argue the shutdown is illegal without congressional approval.
Aid groups report even life-saving programs received termination notices. The rapid dismantling has left thousands unemployed and billions in unpaid contracts, with many USAID staff still stranded overseas awaiting travel expenses.
The United States Agency of International Development… Is also a big part of how the CIA pays for the maintenance of the American world order overseas, which benefits America, and goes against the interests of places like Russia, and China.
From Wikipedia:
Basically that’s jargon for, we do CIA stuff to maintain US interests. Gotta fund protestors in Russia or Iran? The money is probably going through USAID. Rebels in Chad? That’ll be USAID money. Fund Israeli scouts to patrol the oil rich Golan Heights in Syria? CIA to USAID to Israel.
Without USAID America’s ability to effect events overseas will be diminished, allowing other players a greater amount of influence, for their global interests.
So traitorous GOP doing traitorous GOP stuff by weakening the US worldwide. Understood.
What’s funny to me is that a party made of people that go on RELIGIOUS MISSIONS don’t seem to understand the concept.
They don’t go on religious missions.
