A lot of foreign "aid" is conditional on purchasing products. For example, we often give money for them to purchase US made military hardware or US grain. Israel comes to mind here. We give them money and they buy US planes.

The other countries do the same. If you look at only unconditional aid, I have no idea how things line up. I suspect the French are particularly good at foreign aid. It ususally goes something like this. You give french contruction company a contract for far over market value, the french give you money for whores, drugs, etc, and the contracting company gives the french govt. bribes for arranging the deal. The only loser is the french people and your people but the govt. leaders come out way ahead.

Thank you for explaining it in plain English.
