    The expectation is funny, considering Congress hasn’t financed disaster recovery in the US yet.

    Its not the US taxpayer’s problem if Cuba can’t afford something. If you’ve ever visited the Caribbean you would know there are a lot of countries on a tight budget.

      What? What are you even talking about here?

      It is, when they apply international pressure to sanction them and forcing the entire country into poverty.

        Congress is not in session, and hasn’t passed a bill to pay the damages from two hurricanes.

        BS. There is no international pressure.

          And yet, the US just announced foreign aid to Gaza the other day.

          BS. There is no international pressure.

          Just read the article man. This is just getting sad. I feel like I’m talking to a MAGA voter with the amount of deflection and fanaticism you’re displaying. And I haven’t even touched on all the misinformation I had to call you out on.

            Congress assigned money to be used by State some time ago.

            I feel like the MAGA guys may not be wrong about about this woke thing. Though they do have Blame America instead of Blame Erybody Not US, it’s still nativisum

              Ok so foreign aid can still be distributed. Thanks for helping me prove my point.

              And yeah, you would think that way.

                When congress passes a foreign aid bill, it doesn’t just open the wallet. The destination and conditions are stipulated.

                  It kind of does.

                  The Office of Foreign Assistance is responsible for the supervision and overall strategic direction of foreign assistance programs administered by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

                  See what I mean about how much misinformation you generate? How about your next reply comes with sources and backed up facts?

                    USAID is different than the humanitarian aid Gaza got. USAID is for specific projects at the department of states discretion. There are rules for what qualifies. For instance Egypt may need telecom cable and dont have the wherewithal, so they put in a USAID request. Theres a limited amount in USAID. I dont have time to teach you more.
