Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. [b]These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.[/b]
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean?

When TB treatment is interrupted, patients are far more likely to develop drug-resistant TB, which is a catastrophe both individually (the disease becomes harder to cure) and societally (we're allowing the bacteria millions of new opportunities to develop further resistance). Many people will die.

RFK is involved.[/quote]

TB meds have biohazard labels, none of these do. 
IF that’s a warehouse in Congo (that’s where Kinshasa is) what’s preventing people there from distributing them?

100% not true. [/quote]

Where do you think the money to distribute Foreign aid comes from?  [/quote]

As of February 2025, not the USA. No effs to give beyond that. [/quote]

Have you ever been nice to someone to generate good will?  Like at all. Ever. Did you see that movie Pay it Forward? That is part of the point of foreign aid.  Be nice and feed people, help them. Once in a while, they may have your back.  
Is it wasteful?  Sure parts are, but you also do a LOT of good.[/quote]  You claim it is good will.  But in reality it is spending to overthrow governments.[/quote]
