Maybe they can’t get the money because the last 5k times they asked for foreign aid it never went to what it was asked for and instead just lined the pockets of those “in power”.

This isn’t caused by climate change. It is caused by corrupt government.

It is caused by killing or scaring off productive white people.

It could happen here.

Is Zimbabwe the country which has trillion dollar bills?

If so don’t they have plenty of money to buy whatever they need?

Next this is what South Africa becomes and then when the Democrats take over for most cities in the US once the minority takes charge. Don’t think they don’t want us in concentration or reeducation camps.

Just keeping things going

Electricity.

Water

Sewage

Food supply

Roads and bridges

Is one of the beautiful things on display everyday in a free society

Once corrupt people take over. Things predictably fall apart

And the people get desperate
