Apparently Trump wants to put them all under control of the US State Department. Little Marco is about to be in control of USAID 2.0, Elon Musk version. It's just so absurd lol. But also really scary.
So dipshit political appointees will be in charge of regime change operations instead of the CIA? Still a net improvement
What an insane take lol.
Na, the insane take is wanting USAID or the state department to continue spreading fascism around the world
I don't want that. But I have a strong feeling they as in current admin are going to do just that with it...
Well that's what it's for. That is its purpose and what it does by default. Hence it being a net positive when those who run it are more incompetent than their predecessors.
You think Marco failson Rubio is more dangerous to other nations than the CIA?
I find incompetence a bit more scary I guess lmao
Why do you want the person in charge of the imperialist murder machine to by extremely competent at running said murder machine?
I don't see it as a murder machine but for sure a poverty inducer. Guess we just have different views and that's okay lol
you don't see CIA coups in over 50 countries throughout the world as a murder machine? Maybe look up what happened in Indonesia
it's really not "ok" to be approving of CIA coups and color revolutions, it's objectively a fascistic force in the world spreading rightwing regimes. Hundreds of millions dead because of their actions. It's not "ok" to "see this differently". You need to educate yourself.
It's always okay to have different views. Whether you agree with them or not is truly your prerogative friend. But agreed. I do not have knowledge here. But also don't feel the need to educate myself. Especially when spoken to in this condescending manner.
You are dismissively talking about the deaths of millions of people here. It’s not me who needs to check themselves. You admit you don’t know what you are talking about but still presume to keep yapping.
Read Jakarta Method and Killing Hope or shut the fuck up. You started this off with an ableist insult at me when I am entirely correct and better educated here
Whether there is impact or not on others lol. This approach won't get me to learn just alienate me.
Thank you for the condescending and rude advice. I will look into those 💜. Not being sarcastic.
If you aren’t being sarcastic, actually read those books and learn what USAID truly does, then it validates telling the truth without compromise
You are infinitely more condescending with your smarmy liberalism and refusal to have any reverence for the dead of your nation’s project
You come off like the polite Hitler meme. “Hey I just want to liquidate ten million Arabs but you need some time to reflect and work on yourself”
I knew it was too good to be true.
