Oh this would be so effing marvelous.
Some powerful interests are not going to be happy with all this
So marvelous until your navy can no longer defend your trade routes because there are no ports open where you need them to be. Foreign aid gives us the ability to protect critical supply lines and the ability to avoid the modern day equivalent of having the capital burned down and ports blockaded by superior naval powers.
Drones are changing the way we project power but for the moment, the supply lines are still insured by the USN.
Want Aid? PAY FOR IT, in US currency.
Yup...stop paying out the treasure of the Nation to people who hate us.
Let them hate us for free.
/Bout time.
