    Its insane that these guys don’t realise that USAID and all these programs are all about soft power. So many of these countries are going to turn on the US and they’re going to shocked pikachu face when a bunch of new wars and terror attacks spring up.

      They do, they are just removing the soft power “carrot” and are going to rely on military force instead. They rely on forcing people to conform because that’s all they know how to do as corporate dictators. Just view their actions as that of CEOs. The little people don’t matter and will do what they’re told. Manipulate investors and PR for more money and control. Take your golden parachute when everything falls apart.

        Totally mad given that the US military has had a huge recruitment drought for years and that they’re simultaneously gutting benefits.

          Like I said. The little people don’t matter. Watch trump, assuming this coup destroys democracy as we know it and we become Republicanistan, force mandatory service.

        I don’t think they’re aware that they’re actively dismantling US empire by doing shit like this. They just think “this is charity. charity bad”

          I think they are absolutely aware. Musk has business in China. This is a gift to them so they scratch his back in return.
