Sen Dem: If USAID Doesn’t Keep Sending Money to Terrorists, Americans Will Be ‘Unsafe’

Trump’s attack on USAID is an assault on Americans’ safety – Washington Post

Coons claims that “USAID’s programs, like all our foreign assistance, play a central role in combating extremism, promoting stability and protecting our homeland.”

The reality is USAID had us sending $600 million to Pakistan, $3.7B to Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover, $2 billion to the PLO and Hamas after Oct 7, and $3.4B to Yemen whose Houthi regime we’re currently at war with.

How does funding Islamic terrorists combat extremism and protect our homeland?

” Our foreign assistance and engagement wins us friends around the world, establishes our leadership and, more important, neutralizes distant threats to the United States well before they put our country at risk,” Coons claims.

“We know that in countries such as Somalia, Yemen and Syria, terrorists exploit security vacuums to develop havens from which to attack the United States and our friends — as the Islamic State did in the 2010s and al-Qaeda did in the run-up to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Our foreign assistance funds are used to train friendly militaries to raid terrorist training camps, to secure prisons where Islamic States members are held, and to provide the equipment needed to screen and keep bombs off planes.”

The way to be safe from terrorists is to hunt them up at their day job and kill them.

By “terrorists”, they really mean Leftwing activist groups in the US.

I can’t help but wonder how much USAID money financed the illegals and the NGOs supporting them

The Senatorial chimps are melting down. They’ve lost it. Right now the treasonous bastards are refusing to accept the election results. The American people voted for Trump. Not their banana suckers. I don’t remember our side of America throwing all these tantrums when the extreme far left threw Joe Pedo the Molester and the Jamaican Hoo doo in the Potus and VP slots. And that bastard Bisexualden did whatever he wanted to do. He even scared crap out of SCOTUS when they said it was unconstitutional for him to buy diplomas for his Jr. Apes.

This is but one of the scores of USAID taxpayer funding pipelines that’s misdirected to undesirable individuals & organizations, as well as to one phony NGO and sham charity after another.
