Giving millions of dollars or dumping food, medicine, and equipment off into the waiting arms of corrupt officials and those who are our enemies...then leaving and patting yourself on the back isn't going to do anything but more harm to innocents...
Bill Clintons very public relief efforts in places like Somalia where tax payer dollars went to subsidize Islamic terrorists and eventually led to the killing of our troops through strengthening of our enemies political power.."Blawk Hawk Down"
Jimmy Carter had North Korea on the ropes their army was starving as were their people...Carter dipped into the wallets of American taxpayers without asking...and gave away food and money without accountability to the N Korean communists who fed their army and spent the US tax dollars on nuclear weapon production...
If we control the process then giving relief is a good thing...we should never throw money at anything without accountability..including and especially our own leaders..
imo
Well said. Most of this aid whining is to enrich politicos and UN functionaries.
We should not aid Islamic nations we are really at war with. We need them as weak as possible.
We are being stupid.
On the good side, India is handling its own problems, unlike Thailand which doesn't seem to have 5000 body bags in stock.
