Besides world disaster, hunger, health care relief, USAID aids US regime change efforts worldwide

 

Besides world disaster, hunger, health care relief, USAID aids US regime change efforts worldwide

 

Critics of Trump’s proposed shutdown of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) focus solely on its many worldwide relief efforts helping improve life for impoverished people.

 

What they ignore is that USAID is also an arm of US belligerent foreign policy seeking to force countries to bend to US will regardless of how it may harm the populations involved.

 

Last Tuesday, in a rally outside USAID’s DC offices, Sen. Chris Murphy let slip this unsavory USAID mission totally ignored by mainstream media and our government. .

 

 “USAID chases China all around the world, making sure that China doesn’t monopolize contracts for critical minerals and port infrastructure all around the world. It supports freedom fighters everywhere in this world up until yesterday, delivering firewood to the brave Ukrainian defenders on the eastern front,”

You won’t find “chases China around the world…” or aiding in America’s destruction of Ukraine in the lost US proxy war against Russia on the USAID mission statement.

 

That proxy war aided by USAID has killed/injured a million Ukrainians soldiers, caused 10 million to flee Ukraine and largely destroyed its economy

 

Worse, back in 2014, USAID funneled billions into Ukrainian Non Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) to support the US inspired coup that ousted Russian leaning Ukraine president Victor Yanukovych.

Sen. Murphy even joined America’s supreme warmonger Sen. John McCain in Kyiv to cheer on the coup leaders including Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of the far-right neo-Nazi Svoboda party.  “Ukraine’s future stands with Europe, and the US stands with Ukraine” Murphy told the cheering crowd.

Thanks in part to USAID, Ukraine is more like Humpty Dumpty than a viable nation whose future is with Europe or the US.

By all means, save the mission of USAID helping millions of poor, desperate people worldwide, But please, get USAID out of American regime change business. Those still suffering in Ukraine would surely support that.

Hegseth draws first blood as Secretary of Defense, a.k.a. Secretary of Perpetual war

Hegseth draws first blood as Secretary of Defense, a.k.a. Secretary of Perpetual war
Didn’t take long. On his 6thday as Trump’s Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth notched his first of likely untold thousands of needless deaths on his watch, killing “many” in northwestern Somalia His near trillion dollar military juggernaut blasted caves Hegseth said contained ISIS terrorists determined to attack the Homeland.
Hegseth also claimed his air strikes didn’t kill any civilians But 335 previous US air strikes on US imagined bad guys in Somalia killed over 100 civilians. No doubt Hegseth dispatched innocent Somalians caught up in his grisly sociopathy.
The US has been bombing Somalia for years tho it poses not the remotest threat to the Homeland.
Endless US bombing of people in African countries Libya, Niger and Somalia, to name 3, might make Hegseth and his boss Trump feel good and mighty about exercising their License To Kill. But it simply allows America’s most feared country China to walk in with infrastructure investment money to garner the affection of African nations horrified and disgusted with US military adventurism using bombs instead of diplomacy.
Every bomb Hegseth drops over the next 4 years is another nail in the coffin eventually containing the dying American empire.
