Trump told a room packed with people he was going to make it so they didn't have to vote again. They just didn't realize he was going to achieve it by cutting off all their healthcare so they die

Did America voted in an enemy as their president????

Entirely possible:

"The former head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service, Alnur Mussayev, recently claimed in a Facebook post that Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, when the 40-year-old real-estate mogul first visited Moscow."

Entirely feasible and yet I can’t imagine any kompromat from a visit to Moscow - sexual or financial - hanging over Trumps head today.

Think for a second. What motivation would the KGB have to tell the American people that Trump is a KGB asset?

Wrong answers only! Go

Americans have a long history of convincing themselves that their president is a Russian agent

A fascinating thing has been discovering that the US is single-handedly responsible for a raft of world improvements on its own. Despite being cast as the villain, it turns out the US government was responsible for so much of significance.

But America was asked to leave things alone, and perhaps we should. If the US was the only thing standing between order and chaos and they want chaos: give them chaos.

But America was asked to leave things alone

By whom?

croes• 1 year ago

The US are both, one hand chaos, one hand order.

Remember Escobar payed for hospitals to be built.

Nobody is 100% evil.

But now the lose this balance.

enlightened centrism really needs to be stopped, this "logic" helps nobody

hmmm US brought quite a bit of chaos with decades of forever wars. All refugees in Europe and US you see - all created by the USA's wars.

The world indeed will only benefit if USA starts caring more about its own people and infrastructure, instead of toppling regimes halfway around the world

Trump offered to stop funding Ukraine and apparently his act of greatest evil was to get out of a war.

You are showing your biases and misinformation:

A fascinating thing has been discovering

What is fascinating is that some people are cheering for the destruction of these institutions while a month ago they didn't even know they existed, while other people (or sometimes even those same people) depend on these institutions

single-handedly

oof

Despite being cast as the villain

Who are you talking about? Why do americans have this sense that everybody hates them? Is this american exceptionalism?

But America was asked to leave things alone

As someone else pointed out, by who? (Putin)

give them chaos.

Is it not clear yet, that america is bringing chaos upon itself?

Here's what I found researching this.

US domestic TB funding by CDC, through state and local programs, have not been cut.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is still funded by the US congressional appropriations through State department ($6B for 2023-2025) but future funding is in review.

USAID funding for the Global Drug Facility was cut. GDF is a treatment coordinator which helps deliver drugs and treatments to areas in need. GDF is managed by the Stop TB Partnership (a UN OPS program) and has largely been a success so it's not going away as it's funded by multiple nations and private organizations.

State Department could include GDF in the existing emergency humanitarian waiver.

GDF for reference, on what it does (2007) apparently Canada is the biggest funder: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2636664/

Sp, what idiots would call a good start

Honestly, not enough USAID was cut. Most of it will move to the State Department. USAID is used to hide clandestine CIA operatives that destabilize states. Corbett covered it years ago:

https://odysee.com/@corbettreport:0/flashback-usaid:7

It's fascinates me that people who have never heard of USAID, who are completely unfamiliar with how many left-wing groups have protested it over the decades, are suddenly outrages when a program is cut they knew nothing about until 5 minutes ago.

Nations become more authoritarian after USAID. There is no free lunch.

This is a false conspiracy theory. Source: my parents are state and commerce dept diplomats. I grew up living overseas, and worked in a US embassy myself. I have known USAID people and the lifesaving work they do since I was a kid (I'm 38).

CIA is CIA, and it has done things you may be rightfully uncomfortable with. If you don't like the CIA, complain about the CIA.

You, and this Corbett guy, are spreading misinformation with the result of destroying the careers of people who have dedicated their lives to good, and you are murdering people overseas, such as those who unexpectedly had their only source of antiretrovirals cut off.

Also, I never heard anyone call it "US aid" until this year. It's always been pronounced "U S A I D". So, that's one way to tell if someone just found out about it, I guess.
