It was actually written on the official USA Government website

I guess that's all very well for those that believe Iranian media reports, I guess that would make them really happy. However the facts are very different. 

 

"The lion's share of money for civil society in Iran has come through the U.S. State Department's Near East Regional Democracy fund, known by the acronym NERD"

 

Not USAID. 

 

Actually the main ex beneficiaries of USAID are below:

It's less than 1 percent of the US budget.

It has bought the U.S. invaluable good will and soft power, and save the lives of many millions of people.

Don't y'all get it?

Cutting this off KILLS millions.

Not only stupid, but EVIL.

And it's not a CIA front, at all.

Relating this story to Thailand, I watched an Al Jazeera report yesterday on YT from the refugee camps around Mae Sot.  It seems that USAid was the majority donor to these camps, and now that the aid has been cut, the camps (which house thousands of refugees from Myanmar), only have rice for a few weeks.  So things don't sound good for these refugees....

NPR's not happy, but does that surprise anyone?  Maybe they should have hired a few registered Repubs to plead their case.

Hope the Americans were happy to be funding the BBC.

All of whom on that map consistently vote against us and for Russia/China in the UN. Additionally, Yemen shoots missiles at us.

You're chasing after shiny objectss. The  outrageous things that Trump says one day are to distract attention from what he said or did the previous day.

Closing the border

Deporting illegal aliens

Men out of girls' showers and sports

Trying to cut funding to anti-American NGO

Trying to cut the federal workforce 

Countries taking back their illegals 

Defunding the department of education

Canceling DEI programs

 

Great Job Mr. President
