Summary
Trump’s 90-day freeze on foreign aid, announced on January 20, has disrupted life-saving programs worldwide.
Despite waivers for “core life-saving” aid, confusion and lack of communication from U.S. officials have left malaria, HIV, and famine relief efforts stalled in countries like Ghana, Haiti, Myanmar, and Bangladesh.
USAID, the primary aid agency, is in turmoil, with mass firings and restrictions on external communication.
Aid workers fear critical funding may not be restored, jeopardizing millions of lives dependent on humanitarian support.
Gotta hand it to trump, I don’t think I could have conceived of a better way to bring to light the vast amount of good the US does for the world than to… uh… abruptly stop doing it.
Hmm.
Step 1: Steal all of the resources.
Step 2: Make everyone forget you stole all of the resources.
Step 3: Give some of the resources back. (Don’t you look so brilliant)
Step 1: Do Colonialism
Step 2: Begin as a culture to realize how fucked it was and start implementing real reparations and assistance to help repair the heinous damage you caused, including becoming the #1 importer of staple foods from ‘developing nations’ (blech I hate that term) farms whos markets you destroyed, doing a surprising amount to revitalize local trade and sustainability
Step 3: Stop doing that because woke or something, idk. In fact colonialism was super great now actually. Not being a colonialist means you were probably a secret liberal sympathizer, you awful little tankie
