US ends all military, humanitarian, and global health aid - except to Israel

[CopiousX]

Really stupid from a national security standpoint. This just creates more geopolitical allies for China and Russia. Expect Russia to get more military contracts and power plant contracts in Africa. Expect more Chinese ports in Latin America and more Chinese railroads in Africa , Southeast Asia, and eastern europe


Foreign aid is defense.

that whole group of c00nslims that got interviewed talkin bout they're voting a certain way.

So while people want to "enjoy the fukkery" there are deals we have in place and allies who will flat out stop fukking with us. Foreign aid is a tiny part of the budget. This is what this rotten ass country voted for. They might start attaching wild conditions to the aid whenever they are restored.

Americans are going to have to tell folk they're Canadian when abroad. Yall are creating a lot of enemies.

Not disagreeing with your point

But I think the country really is broke and we can’t keep kicking the can down the road

They might fukk around and make cuts into the military and if the military getting cuts that means they about to cut everything, that’s why they been putting an emphasis cutting gov jobs, and all the rhetoric about Canadian and Mexico and tariffs America getting better deals

Let me give you some insight those tariffs are nothing more than word salad...Trump has no intention of going thru with it but he wants MAGA to think hes being tough like he did when he said Mexico will pay for the wall...

Does this include funding of weapons to the Ukraine? That would be great.

 

[skokiaan]

Countries should also start kicking out US embassies from their land...tell them to go sort themselves out...countries forget the war mongering US need them for "national security reasons"

think again

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

And this is just funding from USAID and State. This isn't touching on Security Assistance funding or the other avenues funding is done thru like CDC, FBI, etc.

Edit: yet....

Edit x2: Read the rest of that article. Figured FMF didn't get touched for Israel and Egypt. They break an old agreement if they only supply one side and not the other. You can tell whoever advised the US on it was in the military industrial complex cause they get PAID on any deal involving either of them

I wish countries would stick up for themselves.

But in sick way, I kinda think that's what they want them to do so MAGAts like Bannon can go, "see, we cut off their funds and look at what they do." Use that shyt as a rallying cry for more isolationist policies. But whoever said this will just lead to China/Russia expanding their reach into other countries, they're not too far off. The EU could but on the Continent, the EU reputation is mud (and they brought that upon themselves).

Never mind it’s specifically humanitarian needs

EU and Canada want a share of that US market, they don't want to lose a valuable customer. America uses these other countries to keep fukkery like terrorism outside of America but once there is no incentive for those countries to welcome you...you done a lot bad things in the last century not even mentioning last year alone funding Israel.. there is some traumatised kids out there who thirsting for blood

I literally was going to apply for a spook organization yesterday. Depending on what Trump does with this money, I might reconsider.

Protect the nation’s interests overseas when countries are pissed at you Coli Brehs.
