Who cares what it did or even why it did it.  It’s gone.[/quote]

Is USAID gone yet? [/quote]

Just another thing to ref-und when the TACO truck finally leaves, add it to list of easily reversible items.  It’s a shame that the administration loves killing children globally, but we can’t control that right now.

Trump can take ALL the credit for this.  All of it.  I wouldn’t have it any other way.  I want an accurate depiction when they write the history of this administration.[/quote]

If children in other countries are dying, it is the fault of their own government, not the US.

We are not the patriarch to the world. [/quote]

That’s your opinion.  Your democratically elected Congress appropriated a budget to USAID and that budget was executed and its results reported regularly to Congress.

When the US heartlessly closed UsAID overnight, children who depended on the food aid, medicines and medical care funded by USAID died.  The way it was closed was careless and unprofessional and will foment a negative opinion of the USA overseas for generations to come.[/quote]

We are not responsible for basic healthcare and medicines in other countries.  These children need to be able to depend on their government.  As long as the US taxpayer fills that void, there is no incentive for an independent nation to do the work.  [/quote]

That sounds nice on paper.  In reality, when you take care of a child or a number of children, you have an obligation to continue that care or properly hand it over to someone else.  Not just leave immediately, leaving their lives in the hands of fate.

We also (used to) benefit from the soft power that good will as well as American power that USAID gives (gave) us.  As a transactional person, our president doesn't understand this.  But we are smarter than that and realize this.  [/quote]

Best of luck to Mozambique if they decide to launch a war against us for not providing polio vaccines.

It is time for them to grow up and support their citizens.  [/quote]

A foreign or domestic polio outbreak is not a war that I want to fight.  But you think it would be piffle...[/quote]

Then I suggest you get vaccinated and avoid countries that cannot provide basic healthcare to their citizens.  [/quote]

People from all over the world come here.  Or at least, they used to, before Trump's insane and unlawful visa and immigration shenanigans.  This is a major reason that we provide vaccines to people in other countries.

People used to understand these basics.  [/quote]
