“There are very pragmatic reasons for aid beyond “charity.” That’s something a lot of folks don’t recognize.”
exactly,
when a govt gives aid, it only has political purpose behind it, aid belongs to charities
As it should be...
Then let’s just call it what it really is - payola, bribery, buying favors.
People who advocate propping up leaders of other countries do not acknowledge that those payoffs just come back to bite us in the end - the rear end, specifically.
Every country that receives our aid hates us anyhow and runs to the left - why should we waste our money on them ?
