>USAID? Estimates are that this has already killed hundreds of thousands of people who relied on that aid.
I know this was “the line” upfront… but USAID had nothing to do with aid… it was a soft power factory… it was the “we’re helping” face of the CIA.
It was not the "helping face of the CIA" it's a means for the United States to maintain first world power order in a quid pro quo scheme.
It's hardly groundbreaking or evil considering every single country with large wealth plays this game (eg; china, india europe ect), I give you lots of money and help your people and in exchange you do/don't do xyz. if you do xyz then we take away the money
