China takes African land, mineral rights and free exports. In exchange for food and items.

USAID just has 30-40% overhead to itself, has worked from home for 6 years now, and gives away food and items.

I remember back in 2008 when N Korea and China papered up a 99 year land lease for all of Madagascar. They cited moving chinese labor there to teach the Africans how to make rice paddies and mine.

UN and other orgs in europe stoped in and nullified it.

Free Huawei smart phones to spy on all of Africa were a nice gift the last 15 years too.

USAId is behind the “share of mind” curve versus China aid/ strings attached.
But hey! The workers are having fun, fly first class, take 12+ weeks of vacay!

These idiots don’t believe in soft power or building good will and a good reputation. They only believe in hard power and hurting people and creating hate for America. MAGA morons literally think that USAID is giving away money with no benefit to America.

You can't build good will and reputation with a corrupt foreign government for sale to the highest bidder.

Touche

Damn those emerging markets dictators

Because US foreign interests only involve counties you consider “good”.

No, they throw away taxpayer dollars every which way. No worries there.

Fwiw, I don't think DOJ lied (or is planning on ignoring court orders). I think they have a lousy client that is not being straight with them. Unlike other law firms though, they can't fire bad clients.

A mismanaged huge govt bureaucracy with zero transparency or accountability. Next!?!

Tom Cotton, Trump puppet extraordinaire, loved USAID. Loved it so much he wrote and issued an 84 page report describing how much he loved it.

Except the budget and spending records are widely available, so fully transparent and have been since watergate.

Because your huge egos won't allow you not to. You want to prove to yourself how smart you are, no matter how many times you get stymied in the process.

No. That’s not it. It’s an ill-founded hope that people want to the best for our country and are just not understanding the significant damage musk is doing.

Millions of us don’t believe that shining daylight on the corrupt things our hard earned money is being spent on is “significant damage.” Quite the contrary, actually.

It is fun watching democrats defend the corruption.
