  • Yep, USAID was the primary funding body for the CIA to direct certain flows. Has served that function for over 60 years… Probably longer.

    Edit: Don’t know why I’m being downvoted, clearly people are unaware what the United States Agency for International Development is responsible for.

    From their Wikipedia article:

    U.S. national interests

    Congress appropriates exceptional financial assistance to allies to support U.S. geopolitical interests, mainly in the form of “Economic Support Funds” (ESF). USAID is called on to administer the bulk (90%) of ESF[67] and is instructed: “To the maximum extent feasible, [to] provide [ESF] assistance … consistent with the policy directions, purposes, and programs of [development assistance].”[68]

    That’s jargon for; we fund overseas actions and grouos that serve our interests… Eg. Stuff the CIA is responsible for administering. This is why Trump went after USAID. They’re anti-Putin.





  • He threatens to invade places like Greenland or Canada because it normalizes what Russia did to Ukraine.

    The only reason he doesn’t invade them is because he thinks he wouldn’t survive the politics of doing so back home.

    Perhaps near the end of hos “term” he’ll try something then site the conflict as to why the US isn’t going to have an election.

    … he’ll point to Zelensky and say “so it’s fine when he postpones elections for a war, but not me?” - Russia might hack a few things to give his claims of election insecurity appear valid.

    “We can’t hold elections due to the fact we’re under martial law, and due to the hackers from the other side, and due to the on going conflict. For these reasons and more, the election is being postponed.” - Donald Trump, 2028
