[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is bananas. As I wrote in a different thread, I'm an immigrant from subsaharan Africa and[b] every single freaking person in the third world nations USAID controlled with its money knows that they are (were?) the "nice" face of the CIA. I am so glad Americans are finally waking up to this. [/b]We all told you for decades and there were news reports, but we were too poor and black and brown and foreign for you guys to care. Now that your fellow white men are telling you USAID is a shambolic front, you should finally listen.

The "Third World" or "global south" or whatever you want to call us poor black and brown people of the world need  the U.S. to stop all of its evil, exploitative policies that keep our countries in the position of needing aid. Charity is no substitute for justice.

Whether he is doing it for the right reasons or the wrong reasons, Trump is pulling back America's predatory hand and the rest of the world is breathing a sigh of relief. USAID gives with one hand, and takes much more with the other. Just go and let us sort ourselves out without the CIA constantly in the mix engineering regime change and using monetary policy to bind our nations financially so we have to prioritize what America wants.

I'm not from Africa, but another developing country and agree with ALL OF THIS.  It's time for some changes.  [/quote]

"Sorting yourselves out" is the thinking of an idealist. Your leaders and neighbors will always be looking out for themselves first. That's a fact of life. Look at the US. We are no different.

But also, what does the CIA have to do with your country's monetary policy?[/quote]
By "our" leaders, you mean leaders whom your country's intelligence has handpicked and continues to covertly support financially, military, and politically.

Also, your question reveals you to be an unserious lightweight who has no place in this conversation. Go put the question into Google and start reading. Sometime in the next decade or so, you might catch up. In the meantime, it's OK to shut up and let people who actually know what they're talking about discuss. One of the worst things about native-born Americans, but especially you so-called progressives, is that you think you can just intuit, argue, and mindlessly slogan your way through complex issues. You have contempt for learning, foam at the mouth at any facts that contradict what you'd like to hear, and are too lazy to learn even recent history, much less learn [i]from[/i] history. It makes you foolish voters who have squandered the democracy that your founding fathers handed you and dangerous policy makers who are making the world a worse place every day.[/quote]
