🚨 BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirms he is ENDING the NGO foreign aid industrial complex πŸ”₯

"Foreign aid should be used for the purpose of furthering the national interest. That doesn't mean we don't care about human rights. That doesn't mean we don't care about starvation. That doesn't mean we don't care about hunger. That doesn't mean we don't care about humanitarian need."

"What it does mean, however, is that even foreign aid, which is NOT charity - it is an act of the US taxpayer."

"The United States' and the taxpayer money should be spent in furtherance of OUR foreign policy, should be spent in places and on things that further OUR foreign policy. And even that is not unlimited."

"We have a limited amount of money that we can dedicate to foreign aid and humanitarian assistance. And that has to be applied in a way that furthers our national interest. And that's what we have sought to do as well."

AMAZING! Greatest Secretary of State in history! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

THIS is what the rats were afraid of - this and being prosecuted for the massive heist of the United States Treasury.

During the Obama administration I started realizing that the world had never seen such a gigantic heist and they did it fairly openly while cowards lived in fear of being called RACIST! if they pointed out the truth.

Same thing more recently...people didn’t want to report the Somalians due to fear of being called racist..so the stealing continued.

It’s just insane!

Marco making the case for his 2028 run with this sort of red meat MAGA statement.

I remember him talking like this when he ran for the Senate as a tea party guy. Lasted about 30 seconds into his tenure as Senator. I remain skeptical of him.

If only Marco and the other neocons, including those in the State Dept, really had “America’s interests” in mind with their operations.

Hint: Our issue isn’t with aid spending for the truly desperate, but for globalists’ color revolutions and the like to further their neo-colonialist pilfering of poorer countries.
