True for the time being.

You realize that “the revolution will not be televised” song you are calling back to is completely antithetical to what Trump is doing. One might say that is why it is televised… Maybe mull on that a little.

USAID and other government agencies were paying over $268 million to so-called "independent" news agencies which will be cut.

It took big balls to find the wasted spending in government.

USAID was literally a NGO slush fund to push propaganda. I am happy it's dead. The shenanigans coming out are eye-opening.
At baseline we should be spending money at home and not funding DEI BS in f-ing Serbia.

I spent time in the developing world. This is a loss that is going to directly threaten the security of first-world nations.

I didn't understand who you guys are saying is pushing this propaganda about the US. Russia? China? But they will say anything to cover up their own human rights issues. No one believes the Russian and Chinese propaganda machine. Not even their own people. lol.
EDIT: Okay I just re-read your post. It seems like the propaganda came from China. But China's logic is wrong. Yes, the British caused a lot harm and destruction to China in the 18th and 19th century, and they took Hong Kong, etc. But China can't lump the US and Britain together. The US had nothing to do with that.

How? The US gave a lot of money to developing countries over many, many decades. We stop giving aid for for a couple years, and now they'll turn on us? Thanks a lot. Here's another thing to consider. The European colonial powers went around the globe, Africa, Latin America, Asia, and totally destroyed those cultures. The US spent decades helping rebuild all these countries around the world. This isn't even our mess. Someone else created this mess, and we're spending money to clean it up.
