    Yeah, that’s what blows my mind about this. From a purely business greed perspective, cutting all the USAID food and medical is a dumb move that reduces your power.

    Al Capone was famous for his charity.

    I was also amazed when they shut down Voice of America. That’s the main open propaganda arm of the US military and the Federal government targeted largely at foreign citizens. It was priceless in influencing foreign populations.

    is it really Russian influence or are they truly that fucking stupid? I can’t decide.
